Supermodel Shanina Shaik is preparing to welcome another baby.
Shaik, 35, announced on Wednesday, August 26, that she is pregnant with her second child and her first with music executive Ryan Press.
Sharing the happy news on Instagram, Shaik said she and Press were “so excited” to welcome a little one into their lives. She explained that the couple had enjoyed keeping the pregnancy private for a while and watching the experience become more real each day.
Shaik also shared her excitement about seeing her 3-year-old son, Zai, become a big brother. She wrote that watching him step into that new role feels like “a whole new kind of magic,” adding that she already believes he will be an amazing older sibling.
Alongside the announcement, Shaik posted several photos highlighting her growing baby bump. In one black-and-white image, she posed with Press as he smiled and placed a hand over her stomach.
Shaik first became a mother in 2022 when she welcomed Zai with music executive Matthew Adesuyan. At the time, she described adjusting to motherhood as a beautiful but challenging experience.
Since becoming a parent, Shaik has spoken openly about how motherhood changed her priorities. She previously explained that much of her focus shifted toward protecting and caring for her son rather than putting herself first.
That change has also influenced how she approaches her longtime modeling career. Last month, Shaik reflected on nearly two decades in the fashion industry and revealed that she had once turned down a major opportunity because being home with her son mattered more to her.
She said she had no regrets about the decision and described choosing motherhood first as one of the choices she is most proud of.
Now, Shaik is entering another new chapter as she and Press prepare to welcome their baby, while Zai gets ready to become a big brother.
