AceShowbiz - British model Iskra Lawrence, 33, announced on Instagram that she is expecting her second child with music producer Philip Payne. The news comes almost four years after the couple welcomed their first son, Alpha.
"4 years later and we are finally going to be a family of 4," Lawrence wrote in a lengthy caption accompanying photos of her, Payne, and their 4-year-old son.
In her caption, Lawrence revealed that she is partnering with First Response to host a $20,000 giveaway for two of her followers. "4 years ago I gave away $10k each to Sara & Skye during my first pregnancy," she wrote. "1 in 6 people are affected globally by infertility and 1 in 4 women experience miscarriage, pregnancy loss or still birth and there is no where near enough support, education or on going research into women's health so let's continue to end the shame, stigma and silence."
Lawrence went on to share that she met Payne at a Grammy party in January 2018. "His presence just made everyone feel seen and comfortable, made the whole vibe calm and peaceful," she said of her boyfriend.
In 2020, Lawrence and Payne welcomed their first child, Alpha. In the weeks following his birth, the couple opened up about the scarier aspects of the delivery. "When you look back and you just see a lifeless, blue body . . . that was really scary," Lawrence recalled. However, once her son got oxygen, she was filled with overwhelming relief.
Lawrence has long been an advocate for body positivity. In November 2019, she announced her first pregnancy on Instagram with a photo of herself holding up a positive pregnancy test. "It's not just the two of us anymore, we're soon to be a family of 3," she wrote at the time.
With this latest pregnancy announcement, Lawrence is using her platform to raise awareness about infertility and support women on their fertility journeys. "I can't wait to do this again," she said of the giveaway. "Good luck my loves."
