Yesterday she made the announcement via Instagram, posting underwater photographs which clearly showed off her now-emerging baby bump.

The 27-year old model claims she has “three months to go” which shocked everyone, even though rumours of a child with Sam Worthington have now been circulating media for months. Whispers started circulating in July last year, with Woman’s Day commented on her casual attire, reporting she “was spotted in a series of loose-fitting outfits and appearing self-conscious about her tummy”.
The aquatic shots showed off a rather buxom Bingle in a bikini, almost overflowing, and looking fuller in the figure. Lara, who has been dating 37-year-old Worthington since 2013, has always maintained a blithe silhouette so the images sent social media into a frenzy.
Today, OK! Magazine have also made a tight-tee clad Bingle in downtown Palm Springs with her mother, Sharon Bingle. Strolling leisurely, the form-fitting white shirt proudly shows her bump and prominent belly-button poking out.
A friend told OK! Magazine that the news “came as a wonderful surprise when she found out last August.”
“Sam’s even let-up on his strict privacy stance,” the close friend said. Apparently Lara has been itching to announce the news publicly since she was a few months along.
The fire was fuelled by Kiis FM radio co-host Jackie O, telling her co-host Kyle Sandilands on air back in November, “I’ve heard that she is [pregnant],” having been informed by a close friend.
Is there a due date for the bub? Not as of yet. But you can bet the loved-up couple with spoil their firstborn with as much love and affection as they have for each other.
After changing her name on her most popular social media site, where she has more than 409,000 followers, rumours flooded the twittersphere saying that the pair had tied the knot. In August, she told Elle Australia:
“I’m not married, I’m not engaged, I’m not pregnant.”
“It’s all just love. [Worthington] calls me his wife all the time. He has since the day I met him. It’s nice, it’s very flattering,” she gushed.
