Yasmin Abdul Aziz

Egyptian actress Yasmin

Abdul Aziz was on Wednesday at the center of social media rumors suggesting she was pregnant. A Twitter account using her name posted what were claimed to be recent pictures of the 40-year-old star with her husband Ahmed Al-Awadi which hinted that she had put on weight and was showing signs of having a baby bump.

However, Abdul Aziz quickly responded saying the account and its user, who was purporting to be her, were fake. “This account is impersonating me,” she said.

Fans tweeted that even if she had gained weight it would have been no surprise as many people had piled on the pounds during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) quarantine period.
