Eva Herzigova to quit catwalk

May 22nd, 2007

The Czech-born supermodel is eight months pregnant by Italian boyfriend Gregorio Marsiaj, and doesn’t intend to return to the catwalk after giving birth.

She said: “I don’t have any modelling work lined up after the birth. I’ve gained 25 lb during my pregnancy and I love being fat. I’m hoping to have a natural birth in France and after that, who knows? I enjoy making films and have directed two short movies.”

Eva, 34, shot to fame in the famous ‘Hello Boys’ Wonder Bra advert in 1994.

She has made no secret of her desire to move from modelling into the world of film, previously saying: “Ever since I was a very little girl, I’ve dreamed of acting. You can’t be a model at age 60, but you certainly can be an actress. So I’d like to be in that profession.”

Last week, Eva announced she was expecting a baby boy.

The catwalk beauty said: “We are having a boy! I am so excited. I cannot wait for motherhood.”
