Leading up to the arrival of her new addition, Refaeli documented the growth of her baby belly on Instagram, sharing several pictures in which she flaunted her bump in glamorous photo shoots and on fun days at the beach.

The model previously opened up to Hello! Fashion Monthly about being excited to settle down and start a family.

“I think this will be a decade of family … I come from a family of four children,” she told the magazine. “A lot of [moms] could read this and think, ‘Yeah, try having one first.’ Hopefully, I’ll have a big family, but I’ll take it one by one.”
