Oh, baby! The Block’s Elyse Knowles shows off her growing baby bump in an animal print bikini in Byron Bay
The Block winners Elyse Knowles and Josh Barker announced in September they were expecting their first child together.
And the mother-to-be, 28, looked positively glowing as she spent the day at the beach in Byron Bay on Sunday.
Elyse looked happy and relaxed as she flaunted her blossoming baby bump in a stylish animal print bikini.
Oh, baby! Pregnant model Elyse Knowles looked positively glowing as she spent the day at the beach in Byron Bay on Sunday
While she wasn’t accompanied by her long-term boyfriend, she was joined by her dogs, Isla and Harlow.
Elyse looked every inch the beach babe as she strolled across the beach while playing catch with her pooches.
At one stage, the model threw a stick and a ball into the surf as the excitable pups chased after them.
After spending time cooling off in the water, she then walked back towards the shore to soak up the afternoon sun.
She paired her stylish bikini with a beige panama hat and patterned sarong, which she tied around her waist.
The Myer ambassador also accessorised with her favourite pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses.
Elyse told The Daily Telegraph last month that she’d battled morning sickness during her first trimester and struggled to keep food down.
During this difficult time, Elyse ate a carbohydrate-heavy diet of freshly-baked bread and pasta with a generous squeeze of bottled tomato sauce.
Luckily, Elyse has since recovered and is feeling ‘much better and alive now’.
She said: ‘[During my first trimester] I was feeling bad and so I couldn’t down vegetables, but now I’m able to focus again and really pick foods that fuel my body.’
Elyse revealed on September 16 she was pregnant with her first child.
She shared a photo of herself and Josh on holiday in the Northern Territory, and wrote in the caption: ‘And then there were three #babybarker.’
