But in a surprise revelation, the beauty said she is looking forward to returning to work as early as March next year.

“(I’ll) go back for an exclusive or something in Paris (as part of fashion week) in early March and kind of make it my comeback,” she said.

Adut, who settled in South Australia from South Sudanese as a child, said she also wanted to return permanently to her old hometown of Adelaide in the future.

‘I feel like I will always come back here. I actually just bought a piece of land, and next year we’re going to start building, she said.

It comes after Adut confirmed her pregnancy to Vogue in August and revealed her baby bump in a stunning photo spread.

“Beyond BLESSED and CANNOT wait to meet our bundle of joy!!!” gushed Adut, who excitedly shared the news to Instagram.

She is currently 10 weeks into her pregnancy, making her due sometime in October.

Adut told the magazine that she “always wanted to be a young mother” and recalled the moment she knew she was pregnant.

She first suspected something was up when she randomly developed an intense, unusual craving for oranges.

Then, while getting her car serviced, Adut experienced her first bout of morning sickness.

‘I picked up my car from the service center — with my bag of oranges! – and when I drove home I started to feel like I was going to throw up, she recalled to the outlet.

She then began having bizarre dreams about her sister being pregnant, which inspired her to finally test herself.

The South Sudanese-Australian beauty took five pregnancy tests, all of which came back positive.

Adut is so “excited” to be a “young mother” and is ready for her baby to arrive.

“I’ve always said I wanted to be a young mom because I love the idea of ​​growing up with your kids. I’m excited. I can’t wait. I’m like — can they just come already? she said.

“I’m kind of over it and I’m only halfway there.”

Adut admitted that her pregnancy has been a “mental and physical roller coaster” for her but still a “beautiful feeling”.

“Nothing really prepares you for it,” added the Victoria’s Secret model.

‘I’m just rocking around like ‘What the hell is this? What’s this?” she told the publication with a laugh, adding: ‘Women … we’re honestly built differently. I don’t think men could ever do that.

As for the future, Adut revealed that she would love to one day become a mother of five.

Adut has been in an extremely private romance with Samuel for over a decade.

In 2022, the duo got engaged but Vogue’s recent Adut cover story specifically referred to Samuel as Adut’s “partner”.

The 5ft 10in beauty is among the most sought-after faces in fashion.

When she was just eight years old, Adut and her mother moved from Kenya to Adelaide in Australia as South Sudanese refugees.

She was scouted and signed with her first modeling agency at the age of 16.

But it was Adut’s Paris Fashion Week debut in the 2016 Saint Laurent show that put her on the map.

Since then, Adut has become a runway for the likes of Tom Ford, Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen and Bottega Veneta and has shot countless editorials for major fashion publications.
