Candice Swanepoel confirmed her pregnancy with a touching snap of her bare baby bump on Saturday.
The Victoria’s Secret Angel wrote ‘Baby Angel’ beside a black and
white picture of her hand crossed over her stomach with fiance Hermann
Nicoli.
In a tribute to her catwalk career, she was clad in her lingerie
and sports bra as she wrote affectionately about having a ‘large belly.
The 27-year-old wrote: ‘Agora e #barrigapositiva ! #babyangel,’
which roughly translates to ‘What happens now, large belly, baby angel.’
It was first reported that the star was expecting on Friday, when
a source confirmed the model’s excitement to welcome a first child.
One source told E! News that she was ‘so excited,’ while another
continued: ‘They are very happy. They plan to spend the summer in New
York.’

(here in November 2013) are said to be ‘very happy’ about the news
Candice’s fellow VS Angel Behati Prinsloo is also rumoured to be pregnant and expecting her first child with husband Adam Levine.
And the pals are apparently thrilled to be experiencing pregnancy together.
‘Candice and Behati are best friends and they are not far apart from each other in pregnancy due dates,’ E!’s source reveals.
‘They both have been experiencing the first stages of being
pregnant together and are happy to have each other who understand. They
can’t wait to be mommies!’

Longtime love: Candice has been dating Hermann since she was 17 years old, and they got engaged in August of 2015
The South African model has been dating Hermann since she was 17 years old, and they got engaged in August of 2015.
Candice has made no secret of her desire to have a family,
telling Hello Fashion Monthly last year: ‘I would love to have
children.’
Speaking a few months before Hermann popped the question, the model added that she already felt fully committed to her man.

Already committed: Before they got engaged, Candice said that she
feels ‘married already’ after 10 years of dating. The couple are seen
here in 2011
‘I’m not sure about marriage yet,’ she said. ‘I kind of feel
married already. 10 years is kind of a marriage, so I don’t really need
papers to tell me that.’
There’s no doubt Candice will be staying healthy during her
pregnancy, but the blonde bombshell recently revealed that she doesn’t
deprive herself of treats.
‘I’m conscious of working out and staying healthy, and in general
I always go for a more natural approach,’ the star, who enjoys boxing,
ballet and aerial yoga told Hello Fashion Monthly.

Angel Behati Prinsloo (who she is pictured with in November) is also
rumoured to be expecting her first child
A dream come true: The South African stunner (pictured last year) has
made no secret of her desire to start a family, saying last year that
she ‘would love to have children’
‘But I can never say “no” to a good carbonara pasta or a sticky
toffee pudding. South Africans have a little bit of a British side and I
love a full English breakfast as well.’
Meanwhile Us Weekly reported last week that Candice’s fellow
Angel Behati is ‘three to four months’ along with her first child and
that she and Adam are ‘over the moon’.
The 26-year-old previously told Obsev’s The Lowdown with Diana Madison:
”You know, I’ve always, since a little girl always wanted a family, a
big family. I’m an only child so I wanted like, 10 kids, for sure.’
