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.
