Model mom!
Nicole Williams gave birth on Friday to her and husband Larry English’s first baby, daughter India.
“Our sweet baby girl is here and we are over the moon in love!!!” the new mom told People Wednesday.
“I’m just taking my time now to heal and recover and enjoy being her mom,” Williams, who suffered from preeclampsia, continued. “We are so grateful we were blessed with a healthy baby girl. That’s all we ever wanted.”
The 35-year-old debuted her baby bump during Miami Swim Week in July 2022, walking the Sports Illustrated runway with her bare belly on display in a bikini.

The catwalk marked her rookie debut, and Williams gushed about the “timing” of the two major milestones via Instagram.
“I used to be worried that getting pregnant would stall my career but this moment has shown me its [sic] the exact opposite,” she told her followers over the summer. “Now, married to the man of my dreams and pregnant at 38 my day has finally come.”

The former reality star also shared black-and-white maternity photos with the NFL player, writing, “I was trying to come up with the perfect caption for this but then I remembered that a picture tells a thousand words, so…. SURPRISE!!! Baby English loading.”
Williams’ fellow models shared their support in the comments.
“CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! So happy for you! The gift of a lifetime,” Bre Tiesi, who shares a son named Legendary with Nick Cannon, wrote.

In Season 3 of the E! show, Williams said she wanted to give herself “a year” before trying to have kids.
“We’ve definitely talked about family, but we’re just so busy right now that I can’t really say I’m ready right this second,” Williams explained at the time. “I want to … focus on each other and our business.”
In 2021, Williams began sharing her fertility journey via Instagram, saying she was an “emotional mess” when she underwent an egg retrieval.
“Although it’s not glamorous, it’s real life,” Williams wrote.
