Kanye West's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose has confirmed she's pregnant on the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards.

Just like Beyonce revealed she was with child before the prizegiving last year, model Rose and her fiance Wiz Khalifa ended speculation with a belly rub on Thursday.

Wearing a skintight lace and mesh black dress, Rose clearly couldn't hide the baby news - and she happily rubbed her stomach for the cameras to end rumours.

Khalifa addressed the pregnancy gossip in a recent radio interview, but stopped short of confirming his partner was expecting, stating, "You will know when she's pregnant. But it's not the time now for people to start going crazy."

Meanwhile, Rose's ex, West, was a no-show at the Video Music Awards - he pulled out of an appearance at the event in Los Angeles earlier on Thursday so he could be with his girlfriend Kim Kardashian in New York, where she is promoting her new fragrance, True Reflection. (KL/WNV/CL)
