Model Iskra Lawrence has revealed she is expecting her second child with partner Philip Payne – and announced a $20,000 giveaway to celebrate.
The English model, 33, welcomed her first child with tour manager and songwriter Philip in 2020 and has revealed that their family is set to become four.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Wolverhampton-born Iskra said: ‘ 4 years later and we are finally going to be a family of 4.’
She then went on to say that she would be giving away $20,000 to two of her followers to support them on their fertility journey – after giving away $10,000 during her first pregnancy.
‘This announcement is extra special because once again I’m partnering with @firstresponsepregnancy and I’ll be giving away all $20k to two of YOU to support you on your fertility journey,’ she said.

‘4 years ago I gave away $10k each to Sara & Skye during my first pregnancy and it’s hard not to cry writing this but both now have their rainbow babies and it’s truly been my greatest honour being part of their journeys and I can’t wait to do this again
‘1 in 6 people are affected globally by infertility and 1 in 4 women experience miscarriage, pregnancy loss or still birth and there is no where near enough support, education or on going research into women’s health so let’s continue to end the shame, stigma and silence.’
Iskra confirmed her relationship with Philip around May in 2019, but they first met at a Grammys party the year before, becoming a couple in the October.
In 2019, Iskra was criticised for announcing she was expecting her first child with a sponsored post promoting a pregnancy test.
In the beaming images, Iskra held up a First Response Early Result pregnancy test as tour manager Philip cradled her blossoming baby bump.
She wrote: ‘It’s not just the two of us anymore, we’re soon to be a family of three.
‘We were so shocked when we saw those two lines and we knew for sure we were having a baby. Right now we’re 17 weeks and three days pregnant!’
Iskra held a $10,000 giveaway to support women who face infertility issues. The activist added: ‘I’m well aware of the struggles many women face with infertility and how lucky I am.

‘That is why I’ll be giving away $10,000 to help and support one of you in your pregnancy journey (more deets coming soon).
‘Thank you so much #firstresponsepregnancy for supporting me and all of the work you do to support couples struggling to conceive.
‘It’s something very close to my heart with many of my best friends and family members experiencing these challenges. Can’t believe I’m finally telling the whole damn world our magical news sending you all lots of love xx’
But the post’s commercial ties, highlighted by her use of the hashtag #ad, was not well received by some, who left comments on the post accusing the model of disrespecting her future child.
One acknowledged that her offer is ‘generous’, but argued: ‘Could have been any other post once you announced your pregnancy.’
It comes three years after Iskra shared that her son ‘wasn’t breathing’ when he was born.

She said her son had difficulty during birth. Her little one took ‘two or three seconds’ to start breathing after he was born. ‘He wasn’t breathing for two or three seconds,’ she shared. ‘When you look back and you just see a lifeless, blue body… that was really scary.’
But thankfully, Iskra’s son began breathing soon after he was born, and the beauty says it ‘all happened so quickly’ so she wasn’t ‘traumatised’ by the incident.
She added: ‘It all happened so quick that it wasn’t traumatising. I couldn’t even take in what was happening because [my midwife Ellie] just dealt with it.
‘She was like, “I know what exactly I’m doing, there’s nothing scary here, we’ve got this.”‘
