Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli announced in an Instagram post that she is expecting her first child.

Refaeli, 30, posted a photo of a positive pregnancy test on her Instagram account.

“2016 is going to be like…” she wrote, followed by an icon of a baby bottle and an icon of a baby. The post received over 75,000 likes in just a few hours.

In September, Refaeli married businessman Adi Ezra, whose family owns the Israeli food importing company Neto ME Holdings. The wedding was preceded by a conflict over whether it was permissible to impose a no-fly zone over it.
