Supermodel Bar Refaeli Announces She’s Pregnant Via Instagram
Bar Refaeli ended the year with a huge announcement. The Sports Illustrated supermodel and her husband, Adi Ezra, are expecting their first child. The 30-year-old Israeli beauty revealed the news in two Instagram messages posted on New Year's Eve.
The model's first post was a video montage of her wedding where she wrote: "2015 was like #wedding bells." The second was a photo of a positive Clearblue pregnancy test with the caption: "2016 is going to be like. Happy & Healthy New Year!" with emojis of a smiling baby and a bottle of milk.
The Victoria's Secret angel and soon-to-be mother began dating her businessman spouse back in 2014. They became engaged a year later and married in late 2015 in Haifa, Israel, with a $300,000 traditional Jewish ceremony at the Carmel Forest Spa Resort. She was in a previous relationship with The Revenant star Leonardo DiCaprio between December 2005 and October 2007, then again between December 2007 and May 2011.
Less than a month ago, Refaeli made headlines of another kind when the Israeli Tax Authority arrested her for tax evasion. She was accused of lying about where she was living to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes as well as not reporting luxury gifts such as apartments and cars. The swimsuit stunner and her mother were questioned and their passports were confiscated. A Tel Aviv court further required her to post a $65,000 bail before traveling overseas.
However, Refaeli's attorney claimed the investigation was the result of a lengthy dispute with authorities over whether she should be considered a resident of Israel. "There is no drama. In the end, this is just a civil dispute. No one cheated anyone else. It will all clear up soon." said her lawyer.
Needless to say, the current news of her impending baby bump allows Refaeli and her family to welcome 2016 in more ways than one.
