Australia's Next Top Model stunner Montana Cox finally confirms pregnancy rumours by flaunting growing baby bump

Australian model Montana Cox has finally confirmed she and her partner Louie Abdullah are expecting their first child, after weeks of speculation.

The Australia's Next Top Model stunner, 32, recently shared a photo on social media which captured her showcasing her growing baby bump.

She looked radiant in the mirror selfie, wearing a black exercise top and matching tracksuit pants as she showcased her growing bump. 

Montana is expecting the child with her partner Louie Abdullah, founder of Salad Days, with the pair largely keeping their relationship out of the spotlight.

The model let the striking photo speak for itself, leaving it without a caption.

Pregnancy speculation had recently ramped up after Montana was spotted with what appeared to be a growing bump while on holiday in Europe with her model friend Tahnee Atkinson.

The 32-year-old debuted the first signs of her pregnancy at the June launch of Rodd & Gunn's limited-edition AFL capsule collection in Melbourne, though few would have realised that beneath her oversized Demons jumper was an emerging baby bump.

The happy news comes after Montana quietly found love with Louie, who owns a chain of salad bars called Salad Days, following the end of her high-profile relationship with Melbourne coffee heir Jamie Valmorbida.

The catwalk superstar first rose to fame on the 2011 season of Australia's Next Top Model, but in 2021 she revealed her jet-setting lifestyle had caused her to catch Covid-19 twice. 

After finally recovering from the virus, she decided she was fed up with life in New York City, so packed her bags and returned Down Under.

'I have half of my apartment in New York, half of my stuff still back in London. I came back [to Australia] quickly,' she told Stellar magazine in September 2021.

'I was in London when Covid happened and I still had my New York apartment. I got rid of the lease and got someone to pack all of my stuff.'

Following her return to Australia, Montana used her time in lockdown to fine-tune her acting skills.

She joined the cast of Neighbours shortly before the Aussie soap was cancelled.

However, her character Britney Barnes was killed off a year after being introduced, so didn't return when the show was briefly revived by Amazon.
