Pregnancy rumors first kindled sometime in January when the "Mad Max: Fury Road" star posted a photo of herself along with the words, "Here's to fresh starts and exciting prospects for the new year." Huntington-Whiteley was wearing a loose sweater while caressing a horse in a ranch, which brought up questions regarding her pregnancy as it was rather apparent in her figure. She was also snapped in Los Angeles covering her tummy with her arm a month after.
While in an interview with Self Magazine in April 2015 Huntington-Whiteley expressed that marriage was not a priority that point in time, she articulated that she is open to having kids and that such episode is more realistic in the near future. "I totally believe in marriage, but being in a happy relationship is much more important to me," she said while explaining the amount of pressure given to a long-term couple, Us Weekly reported. Fortunately, both affairs took their rightful time in her and the "Fast and Furious" actor's relationship.
Huntington-Whiteley, 29, and Statham, 49, confirmed the news of their engagement with E! News in January 2016. This was after the supermodel walked down the red carpet with her beaded Atelier Versace gown and a $350,000 five-carat engagement ring designed by Neil Lane during the 2016 Golden Globe Awards.
Besides the eventful announcement, the expecting mother is currently working on her new Spring 2017 Paige campaign at the New York Fashion Week, while her fiancé is preparing for the upcoming release of "Fast 8" in April.
