Elyse Knowles shows off baby bump in leopard print bikini

Aussie model Elyse Knowles was glowing as she showed off her growing baby bump in a leopard print bikini at a Byron Bay beach.

Aussie model Elyse Knowles announced she’s expecting her first child with boyfriend Josh Barker two months ago.

And the pregnant 28-year-old looked to be glowing as she showed off her blooming baby bump in an animal-print string bikini over the weekend.

The mum-to-be was seen walking her two adorable pooches along a beach in her trendy home town of Byron Bay.

She donned the two-piece leopard print swimsuit with a matching brown hat and sunnies while taking advantage of the warm weather.

The former Block winners, who have been dating for six years, revealed their exciting pregnancy news in a series of Instagram snaps in September during a trip to Uluru.

With the natural wonder as a backdrop, Josh can be seen wrapping his arms around Elyse’s bare stomach which featured a love heart-shaped drawing on it.

“And then there were three #babyparker,” Elyse captioned the images.

Her post was immediately flooded with thousands of messages including one from fellow model Steph Claire Smith, who last week also announced she’s expecting her first child with hubby Josh Miller.

“Congrats guys! So exciting,” Steph posted.

“This is such great news! Congratulations legends,” added another Aussie model and influencer Brooke Hogan.

Last year, the Myer ambassador told Gritty Pretty she wanted to start a family before she turned 30.

“I just keep thinking that my mum had me at 28 and, oh my gosh, I need to get going! I want one or two kids by 30,” she told the publication.

“I just don’t want to wait until too late in my life. I’d rather put family first and then career.

She also added that Josh hasn’t proposed to her, and that he “doesn’t like talking about getting married”.

“(Josh) very much likes his own rule book and I’m totally OK with that, too. I think we’re on our own journey and we’re happy at the moment,” she said.

It wasn’t the first time she has spoken about having children. The model spoke to WHO magazine in October 2018, hinting that kids were definitely in her future.

“If I wasn’t doing what I’m doing now, and having the dreams I have, I would have a baby by now,” she said at the time.

The couple became well-known faces after winning Channel 9’s The Block in 2017 when they sold their Elsternwick renovation project to comedian Dave Hughes for $3.067 million.
