Supermodel Adut Akech is thrilled to announce that she is expecting her first child with longtime partner Samuel Elkhier. The 24-year-old runway maven revealed her pregnancy to Vogue this week, showcasing her beautiful baby bump in a stunning photo spread.
Adut expressed her excitement on Instagram, stating, "Beyond BLESSED and CANNOT wait to meet our bundle of joy!!!" With just 10 weeks left in her pregnancy, her due date is set for sometime in October.
Reflecting on her journey, Adut shared that she has always aspired to be a young mom. She recounted the moment she realized she was pregnant, noting that an unusual craving for oranges was her first clue. Shortly after, while getting her car serviced, she experienced her first bout of morning sickness, confirming her joyous news.
‘I was picking up my car from the service center — with my bag of oranges! — and when driving back home, I started feeling like I was going to throw up,’ she recalled to the outlet.
She then started having bizarre dreams about her sister being pregnant, which inspired her to finally get tested herself.
The South Sudanese-Australian beauty took five pregnancy tests, all of which came back positive.
Adut is so ‘excited’ to be a ‘young mom’ and is ready for her baby to arrive.
‘I always said I wanted to be a young mom because I love the idea of growing up with your kids. I’m excited. I can’t wait. I’m like—can they just come already?’ she said.
‘I’m kind of over it and I’m just halfway.’
Adut admitted that her pregnancy has been a ‘mental and physical rollercoaster’ for her but still a ‘beautiful feeling.’
‘Nothing really ever prepares you for it,’ the Victoria’s Secret model added.
‘I’m just waddling around like, “What the f**k is this? What is this?”‘ she told the publication with a laugh, adding: ‘Women … we’re built different, honestly. I don’t think men could ever.’
As for the future, Adut revealed that she’d love to one day be a mother-of-five.
After announcing her pregnancy on Instagram, Adut received an influx of congratulatory messages from fashion’s elite — including her close friend and ‘mom figure’ Naomi Campbell.
