Tiffany Haddish‘s latest hard launch is stirring up confusion on social media.
The 45-year-old comedian on Aug. 3 shared a joint Instagram post with her friend Jason Lee, 47, with a caption that read “Cats out the bag ❤️.” Lee has one hand on a stroller and another around Haddish as she carries an infant in her left arm. In a second photo, the two gaze lovingly at the child as he stares straight into the camera’s lens.
Actress Tasha Smith summed up the sentiment in the comments section by writing: “What does this mean.” A few other commenters pointed out that the cat was, in fact, still in the bag due to the lack of context about who the baby was.
Haddish had some more fun the next day by posting content from a family Six Flags trip and adding a cheeky caption: “Spent the day at Six Flags with the fam. What’d I miss?”
Did Tiffany Haddish have a baby?
Makeup artist Rolexis Schinsing joked about being a godmother to this baby in both a comment and an Instagram story that Haddish re-posted. “I finally get to tell everyone about my godchild!! 🤣,” she wrote alongside Lee and Haddish’s post.

Lee, vice mayor of Stockton, California and CEO of the entertainment website Hollywood Unlocked, also shared a photo of Haddish holding the baby boy while visiting a local high school cheer squad practice.
However, the little one seems to be Major, the 6-month-old grandson of Lee’s cousin, Natasha “Tasha” Brown. In the post, Lee gave a “shoutout to my commissioner Natasha Brown … for inspiring the young ladies of the South Stockton Vikings cheer squad and giving them the chance to meet Tiffany.”
USA TODAY has reached out to Haddish’s representatives for comment.
Haddish, who is currently on her Funny and Fearless Tour, is typically open about her private life, including her fertility struggles and dating updates. In a May appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” she said she was still dating a “roster” of people.
She has also spoken about the effect that endometriosis has had on her body, including pain that’s allegedly so strong she’d faint – as well as pregnancy loss. In various interviews and as recently as 2024, she told People that she had experienced eight miscarriages, calling them “devastating.”
