The 24-year-old South Sudanese-Australian model, who previously dated Nigerian singer Runtown, is set to welcome her baby with longtime partner Samuel Elkhier.
Adut confirmed her pregnancy to Vogue this week, revealing her baby bump in a stunning photo spread. She shared her excitement on Instagram, saying, “Beyond BLESSED and CANNOT wait to meet our bundle of joy!!!”
In her interview with Vogue, Adut expressed her long-standing desire to become a young mom and described the moment she realized she was pregnant. She first suspected something was amiss when she developed an intense craving for oranges, followed by her first experience with morning sickness.
“I was picking up my car from the service center — with my bag of oranges! — and on the drive home, I started feeling like I was going to throw up,” she recalled.
Adut also experienced unusual dreams about her sister being pregnant, which prompted her to take a pregnancy test. After five positive tests, she was confirmed to be expecting.
She is thrilled about becoming a young mom and eagerly anticipates her baby’s arrival. “I always said I wanted to be a young mom because I love the idea of growing up with your kids. I’m excited. I can’t wait. I’m like—can they just come already?” she shared.
Adut admitted that her pregnancy has been a “mental and physical rollercoaster” but described it as a “beautiful feeling.” “Nothing really ever prepares you for it,” she added with a laugh, “I’m just waddling around like, ‘What the f**k is this? What is this?’ Women … we’re built different, honestly. I don’t think men could ever.”
