Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie Nicole Williams Reveals Baby Bump On The Runway

Nicole Williams, one of the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookies named for 2023, revealed that she is expecting her first child with former football player Larry English in the middle of a show and became the center of attention at the Miami Swim Week runway as a result.

She hid her belly when she took the stage the first time in the show, with a gold one-piece swimsuit that had “Rookie” written across the chest.

English met Williams on the runway for an embrace as she took her second walk in a black two-piece bikini and sheer robe, her bump clearly visible. She also shared photos online of the exciting occasion for both her family and her career accomplishments.

“Baby English loading,” Williams humorously wrote in the caption of an Instagram post sharing some black-and-white pregnancy photos.

English proposed to Williams in the season two finale of their E! network reality show WAGS, and they married in May of 2017. English spent most of his NFL career playing as an outside linebacker for the San Diego Chargers, and also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a year.
