Wunmi Mosaku Welcomes Second Child

Actress Wunmi Mosaku has announced the birth of her second child, a baby boy, with her husband Tash Moseley. The "Sinners" star, 40, shared the news in a photoshoot for British Vogue, where she was pictured cradling her newborn. Her nearly three-year-old daughter was also visible in the images, with only her tutu and pink ballet slippers showing.

Mosaku had previously announced her second pregnancy in January at the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards, debuting her baby bump in a yellow gown by Matthew Reisman. At the time, she described the experience as inclusive, noting designers' willingness to accommodate her growing bump without compromise. She expressed hope that this inclusivity would extend beyond pregnancy to encompass all body types.

In her discussion with British Vogue, Mosaku focused on her career and childhood rather than the specifics of becoming a mother of two. She reflected on her upbringing, stating that she was rarely told she was beautiful, with the exception of her family. "I know that that’s the trope that we have been sold – and we have come to accept that the world does not see us as lovable," she said. "I don’t think anyone called me pretty once growing up [besides my parents]. Like, not once."

Following her role in "Sinners," Mosaku admitted to feeling "a little bit jaded by the industry." She now prioritizes roles that are "joyful" and stated her intention to speak out against bad behavior on set, regardless of the perpetrator's status. "There need not be one bad spirit, one bad energy on the set. If I see one bully on set, I am going to stand up. I mean it. No more quiet. I’m going to stand up and say something," she asserted.

Mosaku is set to star in "The Social Reckoning," portraying Raya, Facebook's crisis PR advisor tasked with managing the fallout from the 2021 Facebook leak. The project examines the repercussions of leaking internal documents that revealed studies on teen mental health, misinformation, and the platform's real-world impacts. Regarding social media, Mosaku expressed a preference for people using it less and called for increased regulation, fact-checking, and truth-telling, while aiming to reduce radicalization and echo chambers.
