Ashley Graham shared the happy news that she was expecting twin boys on her Instagram page on Monday.
The 33-year-old plus size model posted a video of her discovering the news during an ultrasound where she gasped with joy and shock at the image of two male embryos.
In 2020 she gave birth to a boy the couple named Isaac Menelik Giovanni Ervin, who is now a toddler.
In July 2021, she announced that she was pregnant again.
The father, Justin Ervin, is a videographer, so the editing of the video is exceptional.
The short video begins with the couple looking at two positive pregnancy tests in their bathroom joking that they are going to have twins, it then cuts to Ashley having her ultrasound and being told she is expecting twins.

She asks: “Is that twins?”
Before screaming in delight and saying: “that’s a penis…”
Still staring at the ultrasound monitor she said: “and thats a girl”
To which the nurse replied: “no thats a boy too.”
At that point Ashley sat up from the ultrasound table and said: “Are you serious? We’re gonna have three boys.” before erupting into hysterical laughter.

British Make-up artist, Katie Jane Hughes, commented: “Hahaha yayyyyy” with loveheart emojis.
Pregnant supermodel Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley also commented heart-eye emojis.
Ashley has been embracing her huge belly on Instagram as she is an advocate for body positivity.
In a TEDx talk on self-acceptance she looked into a full-length mirror whilst chatting kindly to individual parts of her body, saying things like: “Back fat, I see you popping over my bra today. But that’s all right. I’m gonna choose to love you.”

The model believes her body has changed peoples lives, as she said to Vogue: “I definitely think that my body has changed many peoples’ lives.
“I’ve used my body as a tool to talk about taboo subjects, such as cellulite or being insecure about lower belly fat—and also [how to] talk life into your body and have an affirmation kind of conversation with yourself.
“And I know the lives that have been changed: young girls and even women my age who have written me and said, ‘I never loved the skin that I was in until I heard your journey”
Her body is now about to change her own life dramatically too as she raises three boys.
She began modelling age 12 and is now 33.
The stunning couple met at church in 2009 and they married the next year.
Ashley was raised by family in Nebraska who found her interacial relationship with Justin, who is black, shocking.
In 2017 she said to CBS: “I will never forget that feeling of just sitting there with Justin, thinking, ‘I’m so embarrassed that I had to bring him in to meet these people, these people who raised me and taught me how to live, and he’s being treated so terribly”
“And he said to me, ‘Racism is never surprising, but it’s always disappointing.”
