That’s a male, it can’t get pregnant! As for the belly, I have some gups that are kind of like that, and I think it’s just a full belly. Def keep an eye on him though, could be something else.

I’d say it’s pregnant but that sure looks like a gonopodium and I don’t see any sign of a gravid spot.
Females have a translucent/ transparent patch on the back portion of their belly that gets dark when they’re pregnant from the eyes of the babies.
Guppy fry are fairly large (relatively speaking) but still make good snacks for the other fish (and their parents). Most won’t survive. If you get overrun, you can try trading them in to your LFS or use clove oil to gently put them to sleep.
