Pregnant Victoria’s Secret Angels are redefining glamour with jaw-dropping beauty and toned bodies. From Miranda Kerr shining on the red carpet to Gisele Bündchen basking in the sun, these runway icons prove that maternity can be just as stylish and stunning as any fashion show moment.
Some of these models even walked to the legendary Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show while pregnant. Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Lily Aldridge, and Irina Shayk have all graced the runway while expecting, and not a single one looked like they were sporting a baby bump. Irina, in particular, stunned fans in 2018 with a dazzling, cleverly designed outfit that subtly concealed her growing bump. Most people were unaware that she was pregnant at the time.
Behind the glam, pregnant Victoria’s Secret Angels experience the same highs and lows of pregnancy and motherhood as anyone else. They face swollen feet, sleepless nights, and emotional ups and downs, yet on camera, they radiate confidence, glow, and look absolutely fabulous.
From red carpet events to candid beach moments, here are 19 gorgeous photos of pregnant Victoria’s Secret models that might spark a little envy — but also show just how strong, stylish, and relatable these supermoms truly are.
Miranda Kerr
Miranda Kerr has two sons, Flynn, eight, whom she had with her ex-husband, actor Orlando Bloom, and Hart, one, whom she and her husband, Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel. According to E! News, the couple is expecting their third child and growing their gorgeous family. Kerr attended the Gruner + Jahr Spa Awards back in March, where she wore a glamorous pink gown by Alex Perry and took photos cradling her baby bump. The Victoria’s Secret model looked amazing that night out in Germany and even here in this photo, easily rocking high heels while pregnant.
Bar Refaeli
Model Bar Rafaeli has two daughters with billionaire businessman Adi Ezra, named Liv and Elle. According to Harper’s Bazaar, the VS model, who married Ezra in Israel, plans to raise “a big Jewish family” with him. Bar has documented her second pregnancy journey on social media, sharing multiple pictures of herself in bikinis, enjoying a wonderful time, lying in the grass, and soaking up the sun. It’s safe to say she enjoyed her time pregnant with her two children and looked fabulous during those months. But while pregnant, Victoria’s Secret Angel Bar Refaeli loves to showcase her baby bump online, she keeps photos of her two kids private.
Adriana Lima
Adriana Lima has been a Victoria’s Secret Angel from 1999 to 2018, making her one of the most recognizable faces in the fashion company. Now that she has said goodbye to her wings, Lima has a lot more time to focus on her two girls, Valentina Lima Jaric, nine, and Sienna Lima Jaric, six. While Lima is known for showcasing her figure, she admitted that she doesn’t think women should have to live with such “superficial values” as those experienced today when it comes to how a woman should look. “It’s not fair for us,” Lima told Today, adding, “Beyond fair, it’s physically and mentally not healthy.”
Bianca Balti
Bianca Balti is a supermodel from Italy who walked in the 2005 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Balti has two daughters with two different men; she has a daughter named Matilde with her ex-husband, Christian Lucidi, and a second daughter named Mia with her current boyfriend, Matthew McRae. In an interview with Fox, she admitted that she didn’t always have a model-ready body. “When I was pregnant with my second baby, I almost gained 50 pounds… I enjoyed my pregnancy, but then I had to lose the [mass] for work. I had contracts, and I had to get back in shape immediately. It took me some time. But I’ve never felt so empowered like I did when I got back in shape because, besides feeling good about my body, it’s just empowering to set a goal and make it happen,” she said.
Jourdan Dunn
In an interview, Jourdan Dunn stated that she has no regrets about becoming a parent at a young age. The model had her son, Riley, when she was just 18 years old and explained that while finding out she was pregnant on a family vacation was tough, she regained focus and embraced her pregnancy. “Having my son was the best decision I made,” Dunn said, adding, “Initially, I worried about what other people were going to think and say. Automatically, I said to myself, ‘I can’t have this baby.’ And then it wasn’t until I stopped worrying about other people and started to think about what I actually wanted that I realized: ‘Yeah, I’m going to do this.'”
Candice Swanepoel
Candice Swanepoel has two sons with her husband-to-be, Hermann Nicoli, Ariel, and Anacan, and tells People that parenting is quite “intense.” “It’s pretty intense, but it’s amazing,” the Victoria’s Secret model shared, adding, “To see the love between them is amazing. It’s a lot, I’m not gonna lie. The second one is a lot easier, but the situation of having two makes it harder.” However, the busy mom stated that she feels significantly more confident and laid-back with her second child, Ariel, even going so far as to express that her older son is an “angel.” “He’s like, ‘Mommy, I know you don’t need more stress.'”
Eva Herzigova
Model Eva Herzigova has walked the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show catwalk three consecutive times. The model has three sons with Gregorio Marsiaj: George, 12, Philippe, 8, and Edward, 6. In an interview with Tatler magazine, Herzigova admitted that she often wondered about what life would have been like if she hadn’t been scouted and become a model. “On the one hand, modeling has taught me so much I would never have learned in school. I’ve traveled the world and built a vast visual library of knowledge through my work. But a little part of me wonders what I could have done if I had worked with my mind, not just my body,” she said.
Coco Rocha
Model Coco Rocha has two children with husband James Conran, a daughter Ioni, four, and a son, Iver, one. For Parents.com, Rocha explained that she loves being a mom and also never gives her kids a time-out. She explains, “I got spanked. I got grounded for two months at a time. I thought I’d discipline Ioni strongly, too, but just putting her in the corner is the saddest, most upsetting thing. Whenever I say, ‘Ioni, if you don’t listen, I’ll put you in the corner,’ I ask myself, ‘Why did I say that? Not I that have to follow through.’ She won’t stay, so I sit with her and we wait it out together.'”
Natasha Poly
Supermodel Natasha Poly, of Russia, has two children with businessman Peter Bakker, whom she married in Saint-Tropez in 2011. The couple has a daughter named Aleksandra Christina, six, and a son named Adrian Grey Bakker, one. Poly has walked for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show twice, in 2005 and 2006.

Ultimately, I hope that they will cherish family, health, freedom, respect, and creativity as much as I do.”
Doutzen Kroes
VS model Doutzen Kroes and her husband, Sunnery James, both Dutch, decided to remove their two children, Phyllon, 7, and Myllena, 3, from the hustle and bustle of New York City and relocate the family to their home country, the Netherlands.

They’re our link to the future, and I want them to live in a great world.” Kroes was, of course, a Victoria’s Secret model from 2008 until 2014, leaving her angel wings behind to pursue opportunities in Europe and, more importantly, to raise her two children away from the Big Apple with her husband.

Like some celebrities, the couple does not like to show their son’s face on social media; however, the model and actress have posted some cleverly cute shots of Jason and their son, Jack, traveling on private planes, as well as of her and her son relaxing in a hammock. Rosie’s fashion sense has been on point since she was pregnant with Jack, and she loved sharing photos of her growing belly with her fans on social media, as well as when she attended movie events with Jason.

Both parents are obsessed with their daughters and frequently share numerous photos of them on their social media accounts. Prinsloo told People that she and Adam love being parents. “I think for both of us, we’re just obsessed with being a family and having a family – seeing this next step in our life.

Veteran model Heidi Klum has four children: two sons and a daughter, whom she had with singer and songwriter Seal, and a daughter from a previous relationship with Flavio Briatore, whom Seal eventually adopted. Klum is multi-talented, but she doesn’t want her kids to become models despite the recent trend of supermodel kids. Instead, Klum admitted that she wanted her children to concentrate on her studies. On parenting.com, the model described her parenting style as “loving,” adding, “I had an upbringing that was quite harsh. My dad was very strict and at times very harsh, and I didn’t want to be like that.”
Karolina Kurkova
Supermodel Karolina Kurkova has two boys, Tobin, nine, and Noah, three, with husband Archie Drury, and talked about raising confident boys with Hamptons magazine two years ago. The VS model stated, “We take Tobin a lot of places maybe parents wouldn’t take their kids. We take him out to dinner, to certain events, and to spiritual places to meet interesting people, so he’s very open and comfortable with anyone. He’s interested, he’s curious, and he loves to learn. We don’t say, ‘Oh, you’re just a baby, you won’t understand.’ We took him to India and took him to the slums. We are exposing him to different religions. He has questions, and I want him to learn properly, so we watch documentaries.”
Lily Aldridge
Lily Aldridge is married to Kings of Leon lead vocalist Caleb Followill, and the couple has two children, Dixie, six, and Winston, three months.

When she isn’t modeling or acting, Lily is busy taking care of her children with her husband, telling People that parents should encourage constant communication with their kids. Lily explained that her daughter Dixie “loves to talk to me on the phone, so I’ll call her even if I’m in the other room. And she’ll pick up and be like, ‘Hi, Mom, it’s Dixie!’ It melts my heart, because she is just so sweet and so talkative, and I’m so proud of her.'”
Irina Shayk

The model has one daughter named Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper with actor Bradley Cooper. Speaking to E! News, Shayk explained that she is passionate about being a working mom. “I think now a woman has the freedom to work and to be a mom and to be herself. I think it’s essential to remember that a woman is the strongest one and that if we want, we can manage everything at the same time,” the model shared.
Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Ambrosio is a pro when it comes to managing her modeling career and caring for her two children simultaneously.

In her book, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, Bündchen shared her unconventional home remedies for illnesses, including the use of natural oils throughout her life. For instance, she swishes coconut oil in her mouth every morning when she wakes up and massages her children’s feet with aromatherapy oil before bed. The model also wrote that she would put slices of onions in her children’s rooms if they had a fever. Her most unusual remedy is to pour icy milk onto a cloth, cover the outside of the fabric with plastic wrap, and arrange it around her children’s throats when they have sore throats.
Pregnant Victoria’s Secret Angels show that style, confidence, and beauty don’t pause for motherhood. They prove that pregnancy can be glamorous, empowering, and inspiring, effortlessly balancing personal life with iconic fashion moments.
