BREAKING: Bar Refaeli Is an Actual Pregnant Human Being

Bar Refaeli, beloved Israeli top-model and TV show host, announced on New Year’s Eve that she was expecting her first child with husband, businessman Adi Ezra, who she married in September of 2015.

So what does Israel’s most beautiful woman look like pregnant? Well, luckily, you don’t have to wonder about that: there’s photographic evidence.

Bar’s BFF, Dafi Ziv, posted the following images on her Instagram with the caption “There’s nothing to do with her, all she wants to do is sleep… Or eat #sheissopregnant”.

In the pictures Bar can be seen napping, eating and making herself a delicious toasted sandwich while smiling as Dafi takes the photos. Basically, looking like her cute, pregnant self.

Bar commented on the post “Shitty friend” (Well, actually, more like, “poopy friend or poophead friend”, so, we assume, tongue in cheek), while stylist Sandra Ringler, another Refaeli BFF, wrote “Chazaq!” (Strong!).

While some publications called the pictures “shaming”, we must say, we find them adorable and heartening. It’s always nice to see a softer human side to famous people, especially contrasted with Refaeli’s mostly glamorous and flawless public persona (although one can find the errant picture of the model about to bite into a giant burger on her instagram).

And if you’re still worried about Refaeli’s friendship with Dafi Ziv, have no fear, the two have been close friends since 2000, according to this instagram post, so I’m sure a few incriminating images won’t come between them.

Since 2000
