Eliza Cummings is pregnant! Agent Provocateur model and Nat Rothschild's ex reveals she's expecting her second child with celebrity photographer husband 18 years her senior
Vivacious model Eliza Cummings, who once starred in an Agent Provocateur advert devouring toast while wearing lacy black lingerie, has revealed she's pregnant.
The 34-year-old - a former girlfriend of financier Nat Rothschild - took to her Instagram page today to announce she's expecting her second child with her Hollywood photographer husband Greg Williams.
'Yay!!! Baby number two is inbound!! @gregwilliamsphotography,' excitedly wrote the model alongside a snap of an ultrasound picture.
The couple welcomed their first child - a son, Wylder - in 2019 before marrying in August that year surrounded by celebrity guests, including Mamma Mia 2 star Lily James and the late One Direction singer Liam Payne.
Eliza showed off her wild streak in an elaborate cream feathered gown when she wed her groom in Berkshire, while Greg, 52, gave the bride a run for her money in the style stakes as he opted for a dressing-gown like golden robe decorated with leaves.
The Vogue model, who was discovered by a talent scout aged 15, grew up on a Portsmouth council estate.
She has become a society figure largely through her association with the current Lord Rothschild, Nathaniel, who courted her for 18 months until 2014.
But Eliza previously revealed she hates being described as an It girl, telling Pony Ryder: 'What is an 'it girl'? I hate it being classed as an it girl, I'm a model'.'
The Vogue regular, who rose to fame in her teens modelling under the moniker Eliza Presly because her agents thought she resembled the late Elvis Presley, also spoke about her relaxed approach to nude shoots.
She explained: 'I do whatever is asked. I don't mind at all, I see it as art and most people like my body because I have boobs and a bum, most models don't.'
Despite her successful modelling career, 5ft 9in Eliza has previously said she used to be 'the ugly kid' and dropped out of school at 14 because she was bullied.
'I got my head cut open and stuff, so I said to myself: 'No, I don't need this,' and I left,' revealed the model.
She told LOVE magazine: 'I got really badly bullied, really badly. I was the ugly kid, apparently. I was always a bit of a weird kid.
'You know those kids you see that have got nothing going for them? I was one of them.'

Despite being scouted twice in her teens, Eliza refused to pursue modelling after torments from her peers who cruelly claimed she was too unattractive to be a model.
It was not until her mother persuaded 15-year-old Eliza to meet with Select Model Management, who had Pixie Geldof on its books.
In a staggering turn of events, Eliza had no trouble securing bookings, with her first job being for the cover of Italian Vogue. She has since modelled for designers including Vivienne Westwood, DKNY and Marc Jacobs.
But she's previously admitted that modelling isn't a long-term plan. 'I see myself going to college once modelling has finished. Being a doctor is my dream job.'
Eliza's husband Greg dated the Princess of Wales' favourite designer Alice Temperley before finding true love with his current wife.

Harry Potter star faces pile-on for backing Rowling
Tom Felton, the Harry Potter actor, said he was 'grateful' to JK Rowling despite other stars from the film series shunning the author for her gender-critical views. Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the films, addressed the ongoing controversy around Rowling's stance on transgender issues. Speaking to Variety at the Tony Awards about his part in the franchise, the actor, 37, said: 'The only thing I always remind myself is that I've been lucky enough to travel the world… and I have not seen anything bring the world together more than 'Potter'. 'And she's responsible for that, so I'm incredibly grateful.' His comments are markedly different from the other leading Harry Potter stars, who have all publicly criticised the author, and are likely to provoke criticism online. Rowling, who once said she would rather go to jail than refer to a trans person by their preferred pronouns, first publicly voiced her opinion on the issue five years ago, when she mocked a brand that used the term 'people who menstruate' instead of 'woman' in an article. The author, 59, was branded 'transphobic' by activists and criticised by the film franchise's stars, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Felton, who will make his Broadway debut in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, said that he was not particularly 'attuned' to the trans row, but that it does not impact his work in the popular franchise. Speaking about the reprisal of his role as Malfoy in the stage show, he said: 'I think we all thought that the fandom flame might be doused over the years, but clearly it's not. 'The most exciting part is to do it live. It took nine months, more or less, to shoot a film, and this is all compact. This is all reimagined into a very loving, new type of story. And I get to be a dad, which is really fun.' His run on the Broadway show begins in November and marks the first time an original Harry Potter cast member has joined the stage production of Cursed Child. Elsewhere, the former cast members have distanced themselves from the author with whom they once had a close relationship. Rowling has previously said she would not forgive the Harry Potter actors for criticising her trans rights views, telling them last year to 'save their apologies' for 'traumatised detransitioners'. 'Eroding women's hard-won rights' She wrote on X: 'Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women's hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single-sex spaces.' Earlier this year, she appeared to renew the public disagreement with the trio of stars on social media by suggesting that Radcliffe, Watson and Grint had 'ruined' the movie franchise. Responding to a post on X in March that said 'What actor/actress instantly ruins a movie for you?', the author wrote: 'Three guesses. Sorry, but that was irresistible.' Rowling has found herself increasingly at odds with other actors who made their names in the franchise since the Supreme Court's landmark ruling that trans women are legally not women. After the ruling, stars of HBO's Harry Potter reboot series – including Paapa Essiedu, Eddie Redmayne and Katie Leung – signed a pro-trans open letter 'in solidarity' with members of the LGBT community. The author accused them of being 'motivated by fear', adding: 'Gender ideology could give medieval Catholicism a run for its money when it comes to punishing heretics, so isn't it common sense to keep your head down and recite your Hail Mulvaneys?' Last year, Warner Bros, which owns HBO, defended Rowling's 'right to express her personal views' amid the ongoing row, saying that the new series 'will only benefit from her involvement'.

Beth, review: a baffling and muddled sci-fi drama about race and IVF
Beth is Channel 4's first 'digital original drama'. What does this mean? Your guess is as good as mine. But it's being shown as a 45-minute programme on regular television and in 15-minute mini-episodes on YouTube. 'Truly groundbreaking,' says the man from Channel 4. Hmm. The thinking seems to be that young people with chronically short attention spans watch YouTube, and Channel 4 needs young people. In which case, they've made a baffling choice of subject, because does anyone under the age of 30 want to watch a stifling drama about a couple going through IVF? It's billed as a sci-fi thriller, which piques the interest a bit. Think of it as an undercooked episode of Black Mirror. Joe and Molly (Nicholas Pinnock and Abbey Lee) have been trying for a baby. They've had multiple rounds of fertility treatment and multiple miscarriages. Now at the end of the road, they're told by their doctor that there is a chance they could conceive naturally. 'Once you remove the stress and strain, miracles can happen. That's the irony with IVF,' he explains. He also puts his hand on Molly's knee in the consulting room, which we are invited to find a bit suspicious. Is there something going on between those two? When Molly does get pregnant, and the baby arrives – white and bearing no resemblance to Joe – the question hanging in the air is: who's the father? We skip from the labour room to a few years later. You may be wondering where the sci-fi element kicks in, and the answer is about five minutes from the end. The big reveal is bizarre. Until then, though, it is just a little bit odd. Molly's mother becomes unnaturally freaked out by a child's drawing. There is some business with a wall clock. As for the title, I still have no idea who Beth is. Film-maker Uzo Oleh has a background in high-end fashion photography and he has crafted something that looks beautiful, not least because Lee is a model who has appeared on the cover of Vogue. As an entry into television writing and directing, it's a promising start, but too hung up on the visuals. The tone is arty. The casting is a problem, because while the talented Pinnock acts like a regular guy invested with a full range of human emotions, Lee is at an icy remove even in scenes where she's supposed to be full of warmth. At times, as Molly and Joe wear their expensive clothes in a tasteful apartment, a couple supposedly in love but displaying about as much emotional connection as Nick Robinson and Emma Barnett on the Today programme, it reminded me of Eyes Wide Shut. It helps to watch it twice, once you've seen the twist. But when the emphasis is on the convenience of 15-minute instalments, will anybody have the time to do that?

The world was stunned when we adopted a baby we found on the subway. But it's what he said about it years later that terrified us
When Peter Mercurio wrote his new book, 'There: We Found our Family In A New York City Subway Station,' he sought the approval of just one person. He wanted his son, Kevin, to give his honest opinion - after all, the now 24-year-old is the central character, without whom there would be no story.
