She continued to share her gratitude for “having a fully pregnant showrunner in @erinfoster, a relentless champion for motherhood in @kristenanniebell, a DP in @adrianpengcorreia who knows how to work the s— out of camera to make me look, well, not pregnant.”

Lupe then revealed the hilarious story of how her cast and crew discovered that she was expecting, writing, “And a cast and crew who supported me from the moment my Gucci skirt ripped open in both the front and backsides on set at 2am when they had no idea I was pregnant and thought I was just rapidly falling apart…”

“I had so much fun with this show and with Morgan in particular. I hope you have fun with it too! ♥️,” she added.

Her post contained a variety of behind-the-scenes snaps from the filming of the show, including a sweet photo of Lupe with costars Bell and Jackie Tohn.

This isn’t the first time Lupe has gotten candid about the mishaps that occurred on set. On Sept. 28, she opened up aboutanother embarrassing momentshe endured that put production on pause during a joint interview with costars Timothy Simons and Tohn.

While using the facilities, Lupe said she was interrupted when production “knocked on my door” and “I instinctively, like a reflex, stood, then like wiped and realized that a piece of poop had fallen into my dress.”

Through bursts of laughter, the actress tried to continue her story as Tohn hilariously attempted to crawl behind Simons after her admission.

“I put the dress on without knowing it was in there and I smeared poop all over my back,” Lupe added. “While I was shooting a show, and then they had to wash the dress while everybody waited.”
