Talk about a model mother.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit is making waves this month by featuring seven-months-pregnant Nicole Williams English in its 2023 issue.
The SI Swimsuit rookie donned a white seashell cup top drizzled with pearl beading and a matching string bottom for the monumental occasion, which will hit newsstands May 18.
The full spread will include images taken over the course of Williams English’s pregnancy, beginning in her third trimester and capturing the first several weeks of daughter India Moon’s life, the magazine teased.
“Nicole’s willingness to bring us along for every step of her journey into first time motherhood was an honor. And one I will never forget the importance of,” Editor-in-Chief MJ Day said.
“The excitement, the celebration and acceptance of her body, and the beautiful moments she brings to all of us is priceless. The timing wasn’t planned for but the opportunity for us all to celebrate something and someone so beautiful is a gift to us all.”
Williams English first announced her pregnancy on the stage last June — the same day she was announced as a 2023 SI Swimsuit rookie.

The tiny black bikini-clad model proudly exposed her baby bump during the Miami Swim Week fashion show alongside her husband, former NFL player Larry English.
The duo, who have been married since 2016, conceived India Moon through IVF treatment.
Williams English traveled to Dominica for the 2023 SI Swimsuit issue shoot two months before her due date.
The model mom gave birth in January.

She told the magazine she hopes her appearance will inspire other moms to embrace their pregnant and postpartum bodies.
“I hope that I can inspire people and show a part of me, especially being pregnant doing this,” she said. “To be able to show my daughter this and to be able to tell her the story of how I got here and how hard I worked to get here and how this was my biggest dream and my biggest goal and to tell her to chase her dreams and never give up, this is just so special.”

Katrina Scott showed off her pregnant belly in 2018, while curve model Hunter McGrady was photographed just six months postpartum.
Scott returned to the magazine in 2022 for another first — she became the first mom to pose with an exposed Cesarean-section scar.
