Irina Shayk Pregnant? 4 Victoria's Secret Models Who Walked The Runway While Expecting A Child
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is the world’s yearly dose of beautiful women walking the runway like they were born to do so.
This year, as the “Angels” took over Paris for the fashion show’s 2016 edition, supermodel Irina Shayk’s somewhat covered outfits on the ramp gave rise to speculation that the Russian was expecting her first child with Hollywood heartthrob Bradley Cooper.
With this, Shayk joins the club of supermodels who rocked the line’s designs while retaining their perfect body, months before giving birth. Here are four Victoria’s Secret models who have walked the runway while carrying a child:
Alessandra Ambrosio, 2011
The Brazilian supermodel was pregnant with her second child when she walked the Victoria’s Secret runway in New York City in late 2011.
A VS veteran, Ambrosio, 35, was four months pregnant at the time, and reportedly very nervous about her fittings. People magazine quoted her as saying at the time: “When I first found out I was pregnant I thought, ‘Oh my gosh I don’t think I’m going to be able to walk on the show.’”
The runway powerhouse, however, kept the pregnancy a secret and worked extra hard to maintain her physique. Despite last-minute jitters, Ambrosio owned the runway that year, pregnant or not.
Lily Aldridge, 2011
Ambrosio was not the only “Angel” who was pregnant during the 2011 New York City show.
Taylor Swift squad member and American model Lily Aldridge, 31, was the other one expecting her first child with husband Caleb Followill, of Kings of Leon fame. The couple confirmed the pregnancy a month after the show, in December 2011, by saying: “We are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child together. We can’t wait to meet the new addition to our family.”
Doutzen Kroes, 2013
Dutch model Doutzen Kroes, 31, joined the pregnant VS model club two years later when she confirmed her second pregnancy four months after the Victoria’s Secret fashion show — on Feb. 6, 2014.
Kroes routinely took to her Instagram account to document her pregnancy and after giving birth in July, she was back on the runway for the show in November the same year.
Irina Shayk, 2016
The 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show gave rise to reports that Russian supermodel Shayk is expecting her first child with “The Hangover” star Bradley Cooper.
Shayk, who is also the ex-girlfriend of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, was a part of the show in her second trimester. According to reports, Shayk kept it a secret and no one suspected the pregnancy backstage.
“Looking back, some of her outfits were less revealing in the stomach and seeing the news after the show, it made sense,” an insider told People magazine. “No one suspected backstage, that’s for sure! She looked as beautiful as ever.”
