For more than a decade her hourglass figure has been photographed and flaunted in magazines and catalogs, but now Eva Herzigova is getting used to some new curves.
According to news reports, the famous Czech supermodel is seven months pregnant with her first child (the father is her Italian entrepreneur boyfriend Gregorio Marsiaj). And, the 34-year-old is revealing her true feelings about gaining nearly 25 pounds.
“I’m just so happy. I want to be pregnant for the next 10 years,” Herzigova recently told a British newspaper. “I feel so powerful. You have no idea. But it’s an inner power. You are so content with just being. That’s how it is. I feel so confident about my body. I feel so potent. You feel like you have your mission, and it’s empowering.”
Pregnancy has not only changed Herzigova’s outlook on life, it has also changed the clients she works for. She has gone from modeling Victoria Secret’s barely there lingerie to becoming the face of Gap’s maternity line. Which is not to say that she is giving up her sexy image. After all, Herzigova announced her pregnancy with a Demi-Moore-style appearance – semi-nude – on the cover of Italian Vanity Fair.
“Many times women disappear when they become pregnant,” Herzigova told the magazine. “They start to hide and feel like they don’t want to be seen. I think that’s wrong.”
What the model also thinks is wrong is the idea that women should limit their pregnancy-induced cravings. Herzigova says she’s become a chocoholic since becoming pregnant. What’s more, she reveals that she isn’t going to put pressure on herself to drop the baby weight as soon as she delivers.
“I’m not thinking about getting back into shape,” she says. “I just want to enjoy this. I’m not like one of those celebrity people who would die to get back into shape. If people want to take pictures of me being round, they will take pictures of me being round. I think it’s important to show your true self and how you are – you don’t have to be in perfect shape or skinny shape.”
I wonder if U.S. Olympic skier Jonny Moseley’s wife Malia feels the same way? According to PEOPLE magazine, she’s expecting a boy in early September.
Moseley is a two-time World Cup champ who won a gold medal in freestyle skiing in the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan. He and Malia met in high school and dated for a few years before getting married in Colorado last year.
She may not be pregnant right now, but that’s not stopping actress Penelope Cruz from revealing that she wants to have kids of her own one day… AND she says she is looking forward to adopting.
Cruz recently told the Spanish edition of Marie Claire: “I want to have my own kids, but also adopt. For a while I’ve had the feeling that my life won’t be complete if I don’t adopt.”
As for whom she would choose to father her biological children, Cruz says she is not ready to reveal that information.
My vote: Cruz’s ex-boyfriend Matthew McConaughey.
