Model and former Miss Universe Australia Jesinta Franklin has showed off her gorgeous new baby bump on the red carpet today, just days after announcing her pregnancy earlier this week.
The 28-year-old was a VIP guest at the at the Myer Spring Style Edit Event at Myerโs Bourke Street store in Melbourne, alongside ambassadors Elyse Knowles, Rachael Finch and newly appointed style ambassador Asher Keddie.
She looked beautiful in a long sleeved bright blue silky wrap dress and big hold hoops, with her hands placed protectively over her bump, Duchess Meghan-style.
Jesintaโs appearance at the Myer event is an interesting career move for the style and beauty influencer, who recently parted ways with Myerโs competitor David Jones.
The department store reportedly wanted her to sign an exclusive contract, meaning she could not continue her lucrative endorsement deals with brands including Tiffany & Co and Christian Dior.

โMy husband and I are so incredibly excited and overjoyed to announce that we have a baby on the way,โ Jesinta wrote on her app, adding that the process of falling pregnant was not a simple one.
โThe journey to get here hasnโt been easy and this little life is the greatest gift and we feel truly blessed and grateful that we will have a little angel of our own,โ she said.
โWe have both dreamt of this for a long time and whilst the last 2.5 years have been physically and emotionally challenging, thereโs nothing we would change as itโs brought us to this beautiful moment.
โThe immense love we already have for our baby is indescribable and we canโt wait to meet our little miracle.โ

Jesinta has not revealed how far along in her pregnancy she is.

While Buddy says it was love at first sight for him, Jesinta says the footy star wasnโt great at communicating his feelings at fist.
โIโm not even sure youโd call it dating,โ Jesinta told Marie Claire of their initial courtship.
โIt was spending lots of time together but it wasnโt romantic then, which was frustrating at times. I thought he was just after a bit of fun.โ

โI knew as soon as I met her that I wanted to marry her,โ Buddy told the mag.
โAs clichรฉd as that sounds, it was love at first sight for me.โ
The Franklins now live in Sydneyโs Rose Bay and on the weekend Buddy, 32, celebrated his 300th game with the Sydney Swans, with Jesinta proudly sitting in the stands supporting her manโs big achievement.

Jesinta has previously opened up about what makes their marriage tick โ compromise.
โThereโs what I want, what he wants and thereโs always a third alternative โ the middle ground you meet at to keep each other happy,โ she told Stellar in March.
โThereโs so much happiness in a marriage, but thereโs also days where you have to understand someone elseโs perspective and put their needs first.โ
