The post was met with an outpouring of well wishes from friends and followers.
'Ahhh congratulations! Welcome to the best stage of life,' one commented, while another offered a similar: 'Oh my goodness. The goddess is having a baby.'
Summing up the sentiment of many, a third offered: 'Wait you are actually glowing, congrats mama.'
Sharing the announcement to her Instagram Stories, Sahara curiously coupled the image with the track Daisies by Justin Bieber, who she was rumoured to have had a fling with in 2016.
Sahara's big news comes after she denied false claims she made against her fiancé Mike during an 'episode' which saw her admitted to hospital.
She made a series of disturbing and false allegations on social media in April, claiming she suffered physical, sexual and financial abuse, but soon renounced her comments.
The now-deleted Instagram Stories included graphic images of bloodied sheets and injuries she falsely claimed she suffered.
However, following the disturbing posts, Sahara posted to her Instagram Stories to clarify the claims were untrue and prompted by a mental health issue, for which she sought treatment in hospital.

'I want to thank everyone for their concern and for reaching out over the past week. I want to set the record straight—I posted things about my fiancé that weren't true and were deeply hurtful to him,' she wrote.
'I'm so sorry for the hurt and confusion I caused—none of it ever actually happened.
'When I made those posts, I was experiencing an episode that warped my perception of reality and led me to believe things that weren't real.
'During my episode, I truly believed things had happened that didn't—and it all felt very real. I was hospitalised and quickly realised that they didn't happen. That's not an excuse, just the truth.
The model went on to say she is 'working hard now to heal and to make sure something like this never happens again'.
'To my fiancé, I am truly sorry. And to everyone who saw those posts—thank you for giving me the chance to explain and make this right,' she added.
'I'm incredibly grateful for my family, friends, and this community who have stood by me while I work through this. Your support means the world to me right now.'
It is unclear how long Sahara and Mike have been together, but he first appeared on her social media in April and was seen with a tattoo of her name on his forearm.

The world's funniest countries revealed — and Brits won't be happy
Laughter might be a universal language, but let's be honest, some people are just funnier than others. And, whether it's deadpan delivery, playful banter or self-deprecating sarcasm, each country has its own comedic signature. If your ideal holiday includes more than just lounging on the beach or ticking off tourist attractions, and you want a place where the locals make you laugh, you might want to listen up. A new global ranking has named the world's funniest countries. But Brits shouldn't get too cocky. We might be a nation of dry humour and relentless sarcasm, but the UK hasn't even made the top 10. In a survey by Remitly, over 6,000 people across 30 countries were asked to complete something called the Humour Styles Questionnaire. It's a psychological tool created in 2003 by researcher Rod Martin, designed to examine not just if someone is funny, but how they express their humour. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. The winner? Perhaps surprisingly, it was Czechia (formerly the Czech Republic). Scoring 72.33 out of a possible 112 on the questionnaire, the Czechs came out top thanks to their strength in self-defeating humour. They also scored high for aggressive humour, which Remitly describes as 'a potent mix of self-deprecation, razor-sharp irony, and expertly wielded sarcasm. The Czech humour isn't loud or performative; it's dry and operates on well-placed jabs and deadpan delivery. According to Remitly: 'Czechs have refined humour into a survival tool, using wit as psychological armour that has evolved into a defining national characteristic.' In second place was Portugal, scoring 71.42. Remitly says Portuguese humour leans more into affiliative and aggressive styles, leaving them with a sense of humour that blends warmth and wit. 'Known for quick-thinking jokes, they often use humour to charm, tease, and disarm,' it explains. Ireland took third place with 71.18 – a result that probably won't shock anyone who's ever been around someone from Ireland. According to Remitly, Ireland scored high for affiliative and self-enhancing humour. 'This may align with the Irish's reputation for friendliness and excellent storytelling. It's a great combination of humour styles, leading to citizens of Ireland being sharp, charming and relatable.' More Trending Belgium followed close behind (71.12), with Chile and Greece tied for fifth at 71.08. As for the UK? Eighteenth. Behind Canada and just ahead of South Africa. A ranking that may leave British comedy fans clutching their box sets of Peep Show and The Office in disbelief. Hey, at least we weren't in last place. Sorry, Norway, we hate to break it to you.
