Poppy Delevingne has revealed she is pregnant with her first child.
The model, 38, is expecting a baby girl with her billionaire businessman partner Archie Keswick, 44, and said becoming a mother is ‘all I ever wanted’.
Poppy discovered she was pregnant during London Fashion Week when she noticed during a fitting for a Burberry show that her clothes were tighter than usual.
The star had been feeling like something was different at the time and so had a pregnancy test right after and then found out she is having a daughter.
Speaking to ELLE UK, she said: ‘Obviously, I would have been fine with either and when I was younger I always thought when I get pregnant, I wouldn’t find out, but the second we got told we could find out, we did. I’m so excited. I come from all girls, we’re very girl heavy. Girls are great.’
Poppy’s sisters, model Cara, 32, and socialite Chloe, 39, were both delighted when she told them the news.

She said: ‘We were all in New York, with each other and with the bump and there was a lot of talking to the bump, stroking the bump. They’re just elated.’
Poppy and Archie kept the news of her pregnancy to themselves for a while and only told friends and family around the four-month mark.
The model admitted she was ‘really nervous’ about her pregnancy and wanted to ‘protect’ it for a while.
She explained: ‘It just feels like such an extraordinary privilege to be able to do this, to be able to have a baby at this age and at this time, and when it happened, I couldn’t really believe it.’
Poppy has long wanted to start a family of her own but admitted in recent years she thought it might not happen for her and had ‘made peace with it’.
Poppy and Archie went public with their romance in July 2024 when they attended the BST Hyde Park festival together.
Archie is the son of Simon Keswick, former director of multi-billion pound Hong Kong conglomerate Jardine Matheson – owner of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.
The family has a private fortune of £6.35bn, according to the Sunday Times Rich List, and own a 18,000-acre estate in Angus.

Poppy and James, who works for his family’s aerospace company, tied the knot in 2014 at a Knightsbridge church ceremony, with sisters Cara and Chloe among her many bridesmaids.
Rumours started to circulate about their marriage when James resigned as a director of her company Poppy Delevingne Limited, the firm which files the accounts for her ‘photographic activities’.
Before finding love with Archie Poppy was linked to Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece, 24, in April 2023.
The son of Crown Prince and Princess Pavlos and known as Tino to his pals, he was often considered one of Europe’s most eligible royal bachelors.
