The 34-year-old, model, Ashley Graham, and husband Justin Ervin, who were expecting their second and third baby (twins), are now proud parents as their baby boys have arrived. The couple is already proud parents of a son, Isaac Menelik Giovanni, who is 23 months old.
Ashley took to her social media to announce the arrival of her twins as she wrote, "Justin and I are so excited that our baby boys are here. They were born early this morning at home and are happy and healthy. I'm taking some time to heal up and connect with my husband and three boys, but I truly cannot wait to share more with you all. Much love, AG."
Justin Ervin reposted the message on his social media and added, "I love you, @ashleygraham. Thank you, Jesus for our supernatural birth! Thank you all for your prayers and support." The couple announced in July that they are expecting after one year and a half of having Isaac Menelik Giovanni. In her announcement Ashley wrote, "The past year has been full of tiny surprises, big griefs, familiar beginnings and new stories. I'm just beginning to process and celebrate what this next chapter means for us."

On the other hand, Justin wrote on his post, "Felt so nice, we had to do it twice. I’m proud of the amazing mother @ashleygraham is and will be — again! Love you. Love us! All of us." The pair announced their first pregnancy on their ninth anniversary (August 2019) and Ashley captioned the post where she posted a picture of her baby bump, "It has been the best journey with my favorite person in the world. Today, we are feeling so blessed, grateful and excited to celebrate with our GROWING FAMILY! Happy anniversary, @mrjustinervin. Life is about to get even better."
When Isaac was born five months later, Ashley, during one of her podcast episodes of ‘Pretty Big Deal’shared with her listeners, "Nothing prepares you for just how magical and intense giving birth is; I’m so grateful that I was able to deliver naturally in my home with my husband by my side for all 6 hours of labor. Holding my baby for the first time is a moment I’ll never forget." She also added, "Now that I gave birth and I did it naturally and I felt everything, I feel like there’s nothing I can’t do. Like, there’s nothing that could come my way where I say, ‘Oh, that’s too hard. I can’t handle that.’ I went through laboring for six hours naturally at home. Right there in a big old pool. Don’t worry, it wasn’t on the carpet."
In November 2021, Ashley spoke to Pop Sugar and shared that she was partnering with a buy-now-pay-over-time solution called Affirm to help new parents stay in control of their finances, especially with three kids. She said, "That sounds insane. I'm possibly going into insanity. But you know what? I'm up for the challenge."
The model also spoke about the positive body image she has, particularly posts first pregnancy and postpartum experience during the interview. Ashley said, "Because our bodies are always changing, it's always going to be this tug and pull of where you are with your body. When I got pregnant with Isaac, I got smacked in the face with, 'Oh, you're going to have to really practice what you preach' because my body was changing so quickly. And I didn't realize what pregnancy was really going to do to it, between the stretch marks and gaining 55 pounds. So now with this pregnancy, I actually haven't even weighed myself because I just don't want to know. And it's been really beneficial for me because my health isn't determined by my weight. I know that I'm taking great care of myself and the boys, but there is this constant conversation that I'm having with myself, like: 'Your body is a vessel.Your body is strong. Your body is meant to do this.' And the affirmations never go away."
Talking about her second pregnancy, she added, "Being pregnant the second time around is exciting, but you're not looking at the apps to see what fruit size your baby is every single day. And now knowing on the other side that it's going to be a lot in the beginning, and I'm going to have my hands full, and there's going to be diaper and poop everywhere. And it just is what it is. You go through it once, you can handle it twice."
The gorgeous-looking couple; Justin and Ashley met at a church in 2009 and tied the knot a year later. Throughout her pregnancy, Ashley has been honest and open about her excitement about welcoming the twins. She shared various pictures of her baby bump on her social media, which shows how proud she is of her body. In one of her posts where she covered her breasts and was standing nude in front of the camera, she captioned the picture, "Justin says my stretch marks look like the tree of life."
Congratulations to the couple!
