Nina Agdal has reflected on her modelling journey with Sports Illustrated by sharing snaps of a recent beach photo shoot in Belize where she posed pregnant.

Marking 12 years since she won SI Swimsuit Rookie of the Year, the expectant mother thanked the publication for their support in an emotional tribute.

“12 years after my first year as a @si_swimsuit rookie, and I’m honoured to be back where it all started 🙏 #siswim (with a baby girl in the belly 🩷🥹). Thank you, dream team”, she captioned the post.

The Danish model’s excitement was mirrored by the publication, which shared a behind-the-scenes look at Agdal’s Belize photoshoot.

Her boyfriend Logan Paul — a social media and WWE star — commented on the post in awe of his fiancé.

“My baby momma a queen”, he wrote.

The seasoned model, 32, suggested her return shoot with the publication felt entirely natural.

“Honored to be back! ❤️❤️❤️ It’s almost like riding a bike 😂”, she replied to the post.

Celebrating its 60th anniversary with its LEGENDARY issue, Sports Illustrated has welcomed back a host of stars, including Tyra Banks, Chrissy Teigen, and Kate Upton.

Agdal’s life as a swimsuit model will likely take a momentary pause in the coming months, announcing in April she and Paul were expecting their first child.

A couple of weeks later, the couple posted a tongue-in-cheek video reeling off “old wives tales” to tease fans over the baby’s gender.

Accompanying Paul to Perth in February 2023, the wrestler promoted his Prime Energy Drink while Agdal appeared more comfortable lapping up the waves at North Cottesloe Beach.
