Eight months after giving birth to her first child, Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli has announced to the world that a second baby is on the way.

The 31-year old shared her news with her 2.5 million Instagram followers by posting a picture of herself with her still-small baby bump, playfully adding the words “Something’s cooking…”

Ms Refaeli married Adi Ezra, an Israeli businessman, in September 2015. Their first child, Liv, was born in August 2016.

In June 2015 Ms Refaeli told Hello Fashion Monthly that she planned to have quite a few children, saying "I think this will be a decade of family… I come from a family of four children.

“A lot of mums could read this and think, 'Yeah, try having one first'. Hopefully I'll have a big family, but I'll take it one by one."
