Jourdan Dunn is expecting her first child.
The 18-year-old British model - who can currently be seen in advertisements for Yves Saint Laurent's La Nuit de L'Homme perfume - is five-and-a-half months pregnant, and both her and her boyfriend are looking forward to the arrival of the baby in December.
Jourdan confirmed to Vogue.com: "I'm really looking forward to the future and having my baby. I'm lucky - I'm feeling really well. I'm healthy and happy!"
A spokesperson for Storm, Jourdan's modelling agency, added she has been overwhelmed by the amount of support and kind wishes she has received.
The representative said: "Jourdan is delighted and really excited. She's had lots of lovely personal messages of support from all her friends in the fashion industry and it's great news. We wish her all the best."
Jourdan - who became the first black model to star in a show for Prada for 10 years in 2008 - is the latest in a string of models to announce they are expecting.
Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima and Karolina Kurkova are all due to welcome new arrivals into the world in the coming months.
Karolina, who is believed to be around six months pregnant with her first child with her filmmaker fiance Archie Drury, recently said she was glad so many models are expecting as she thinks it sends out a positive message.
She said: "It's a nice thing showing that we are real women and we are normal and healthy and that's why we can get pregnant. And we're growing up. We're not 17 or 18. We're becoming women and becoming moms."
