Natasha shared that concealing her pregnancy had been quite a challenge, especially since she had been in frequent contact with Chris throughout her pregnancy. It’s difficult to hide a growing belly for weeks on end; at some point, it becomes too large to conceal.
To keep her secret, Natasha often placed one of her children on her lap to hide her belly. She even went to greater lengths to maintain the ruse, sending her husband pictures that would throw him off the scent. For instance, she would pose with a beer in hand, pretending to drink it, while in reality, she didn’t consume any alcohol. And her tactics worked! Chris never suspected a thing.
