Lara Stone and David Walliams Expecting Their First Baby

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Models, News,

David Walliams and Lara StoneDavid Walliams and Lara Stone are expecting their first child together. The comic actor has announced his model wife is pregnant and insists the couple couldn't be happier with the news.

"Some wonderful news. My beautiful wife Lara is pregnant. We are having a baby! It is due next year and we both couldn't be happier. Dx (sic)" he wrote on his Twitter.

David, 41, and 28-year-old Lara started dating in September 2009 and got married in May 2010.

Earlier this year, Lara revealed she and her husband had been practicing for parenthood by caring for their pet dog Bert - whom they adopted last Valentine's Day. Speaking about their beloved mutt, she jokingly said, "We love him. A baby will probably never be as fun as Bert."

Lara also recently revealed she thinks she and Little Britain star David have a great relationship because they share a similar sense of humor and are both strong-minded individuals: "I think people like it when you have a bit of personality. It helps that I am not afraid to say what I want to do and what I don't want to do."


Lara Stone’s Friends Laugh at Marriage

David Williams and Lara StoneLara Stone's friends laugh at her for being married.

The 28-year-old supermodel - who tied the knot with 41-year-old comic David Walliams in May 2010 after eight months of dating - admits her former hard-partying ways meant many of her pals never expected she would settle down.

"My friends still make fun of me for being wed. They find it so hard to believe. Even four years back they wouldn't have expected it. It was quite unexpected, but it has made me happy. I feel secure. It's really calming somehow. We both have such random jobs, it is not mundane. He doesn't go to the office while I cook him dinner, so I don't feel like I have to be too grown up about the whole thing," she said.

Although she and David are very happy together, Lara isn't ready to have children just yet - because she and her spouse are so smitten with their dog Bert, who the Little Britain star gave to his wife in February.

Lara Stone Has Body Hang-Ups

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models,

Lara Stone for Calvin KleinNewlywed model Lara Stone doesn't like "most of" her body.

The Dutch 27 year-old is famed for her amazing figure, but admits she has her hang-ups and there are days when she doesn't want to leave the house because of how she's feeling.

"Most of it. It depends on the day. Like most women, I have days where I feel like today I'm not leaving the house - you know days where you've got a spot on your nose or when you've just got off a flight, eaten fish and chips and feel really bloated - that one happens a lot to me. You have to accept yourself though, and accept that there will always be something to worry about. It's much easier just to accept things," she said when asked which part of her body she isn't so keen on.

Although she isn't body confident, Lara has appeared in campaigns for many fashion houses and is one of the first models to represent so many different facets of the Calvin Klein brand, including lingerie, Calvin Klein Collection and its fragrances. "I love being part of so many elements of Calvin Klein, it's so nice to be able to be all these different women. You lose track of your identity a bit. There are many different aspects in different women and I think this is reflected in the different campaigns. All those facets are a part of me."

French Vogue Celebrates 90th Anniversary With Lara Stone’s Breasts

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Health & Beauty, Models, News,

 

While French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld made it clear that the magazine's 90th anniversary issue was going to be big, I didn't realize that they meant zooming in on model 's large chest for the cover! "Vogue Paris has always played the card of audacity. We couldn't do a lukewarm issue," Roitfeld said. Again, I never expected to disappoint; however, I don't necessarily agree with bringing the supposedly-classy fashion pages down to Playboy status. Is the October issue of the fashion glossy too much or just the right amount of shocking?
