Teen star Sophia Grace understood why people have various opinions regarding her pregnancy. The 19-year-old, who became famous after appearing on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" alongside her cousin Rosie McClelland, publicly announced this week that she was pregnant.

Grace told E! News that she felt like 19 is quite young, obviously, to have a baby. She added that most people usually think that a woman should have babies when she is 30 and married and lives in her own house, which is completely fine to her. That being said, Grace maintained that everyone would have different opinions.

Despite people weighing in on her early pregnancy, Grace noted that she is happy. She said that she feels it is about the person; as long as they feel ready and it is something they are happy about, then it is no one else's problem.

Grace happy with the support she is getting from her followers

Grace added that others had shared their good wishes for her. She had seen so many supportive comments, particularly from young mothers. She said it makes her feel happy when she sees other girls comment on that, making her more confident.

She admitted that she was feeling a bit overwhelmed at the start, thinking about how she would handle being pregnant and how to carry the baby properly. Grace said those thoughts were kind of scary to her, People Magazine reported.

Fortunately for Grace, her friends and family have supported her pregnancy, and she now feels confident she can handle becoming a mother.

Grace shares pregnancy news in a video posted on Youtube

Grace revealed her pregnancy news in a video posted on her Youtube account on October 22. She said in the nearly eight-minute video clip that she was "here to tell you guys that she was pregnant." She revealed that she was 21 weeks and explained she left it so long to announce because she wanted to ensure everything was completely fine and safe.

While Grace has not yet shared who the baby's father is, she said in the video that she was very shocked to learn that she was pregnant. She said that she got used to it now and is super, super happy about it.

She promised her followers more content now that she is pregnant. The British influencer said she couldn't wait to share this journey with her followers. She added that there would be a lot of different content from what she usually had before, Page Six reported.
