Still, the writing might already be on the wall for India, who was born in January 2023 and who the model shares with NFL player husband Larry English, 37.

Williams English was the only pregnant model to appear in the iconicSports Illustrated Swimsuitissue earlier this year.
And in May,she told PEOPLEthat shooting the issue was “surreal.”
“Shooting on the beaches of Dominica while 8 months pregnant felt surreal,” Williams English exclusively told PEOPLE at the time.

Williams English was eight months along at the time of her photo shoot in Dominica, though she says she thinks previous models may have been pregnant, but not as pregnant.
