Ashley Graham pregnant - model reveals she's expecting first child with Justin Ervin

Ashley Graham has announced she's pregnant with her first child.

The 31-year-old model unveiled the happy news with a sweet Instagram video.

She and Justin are today celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary - and had a big old bombshell to mark the occasion.

Stroking her bump, Ashley wrote next to the post: "Nine years ago today, I married the love of my life. It has been the best journey with my favorite person in the world! Today, we are feeling so blessed, grateful and excited to celebrate with our GROWING FAMILY!

"Happy anniversary, @mrjustinervin Life is about to get even better," she added.

In the video, the pair first tricked fans by only focusing on their faces as they stood outside in the golden sunshine.

"SURPRISE!" Ashley yelled at the camera as it zoomed out to show her growing baby bump.

The pair kissed as Justin tenderly rubbed his wife's stomach and they giggled into the lens.

Just eight weeks ago, Ashley revealed her plans for motherhood would involve hard-hitting conversations with her future children about race.

"I want to know as much as I can as a white woman who is going to be raising black children," she told Allure magazine in June.

"We're going to have to have that conversation of 'Mommy's white, Daddy's black', and I want to be prepared."

Ashley added that she was going to "read books, have conversations and educate yourself" ahead of the arrival of any children, which she cheekily suggested at the time were "just too far down the road for me to even think about".

Her husband had been subject to vile racist abuse while they were on holiday in Italy, where a man spat on him in the street.

"It's heartbreaking. It can make you really angry. But it's like, how are you going to change that anger into a teachable moment?" she added.

The happy couple first met at their shared church in New York, and cinematographer Justin proposed to his love in 2009 with an enormous diamond ring.
