When Stephanie Beatriz sang “Waiting on a Miracle” for Encanto, her life imitated art, presumably more than the actor—who was pregnant at the time—expected when she signed on for the film.

In an interview with Variety, the former "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star shared that she was actually in labor while recording the vocals.

Instead of letting the crew know that the arrival of her own “miracle” was imminent, she kept it a secret.

“I didn’t want to tell anybody at Disney because I didn’t want anyone to freak out, but I was already having some contractions when we were scheduled to record that day,” she recalls in the interview. “I was like ‘Well, fingers crossed I finish the song before the baby comes!’” Her daughter Rosaline was born the next day.

The film's director Byron Howard confirms that nobody on set was aware to what was going on.

“We knew she was very, very, very, very ready to have that baby. But she did not tell us she was almost, almost ready,” he says.

The Disney musical has been nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature, Best Original Score and Best Original Song for “Dos Oruguitas.”

Meanwhile, the Billboard Hot 100-topping breakout “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” was left unacknowledged during the awards cycle, despite capturing mass audiences’ ears and hearts.
