The worst kept celebrity secret of 2014 has been confirmed — Lara Bingle has a bun in the oven.
OK! magazine has published the first photos of the pregnant 27-year-old model, claiming she has “three months to go” before the birth of her first child.
The photos show Bingle in Palm Springs, California, dressed down in a loose white T-shirt and baggy black pants, wearing a floppy tan sunhat and shades. Her growing baby bump protrudes from under her baggy top.
The mag reports that Lara, who can be seen in one of the pics strolling through Palm Springs with her mother, Sharon Bingle, is six months along.
The photos are the first proof we’ve seen that Lara is expecting a baby with partner Sam Worthington, despite rumours circulating for several months now.
A friend told the magazine that the news “came as a wonderful surprise when she found out last August.
“Sam’s even let-up on his strict privacy stance,” the pal said, adding that the swimsuit model has struggled to keep the pregnancy whispers at bay.
She is “having a very easy and healthy pregnancy” they told the mag, and has “already worked out a plan with her trainer to lose the baby weight as soon as her obstetrician says it’s OK.”
Lara has been playing guessing games with the media surrounding her pregnancy status for a while. Earlier this week she posted a series of Instagram pictures of herself in the pool at the famous Parker Hotel in Palm Springs, where she is staying with her mum, with a clear curve to her tummy.
An onlooker who recognised the Aussie beauty told Confidential “she is glowing,” adding “she is definitely pregnant. She was showing off her belly in a bikini and seemed really happy.”
Lara has reportedly informed close family and friends while the 38-year-old actor told co-stars and crew about the baby while he was filming TV series Deadline Gallipoli in Australia last year. Sharon Bingle told OK! of her daughter’s news: “I think she will make a great mum.”
She and Worthington have refused to address the lingering baby rumours until now, despite plenty insisting that she is expecting.
Kiis FM radio co-host Jackie O added fuel to the fire back in November, telling Sandilands on air, “I’ve heard that she is,” adding that a friend of Lara’s had informed her.
Reports first kicked off back in September, with pals telling various media publications that the swimsuit model and her Avatar beau are expecting their first bub together.
Lara and her bestie Vickie Lee, who is also pregnant, were snapped walking out of an obstetrician’s surgery at Bondi Junction, Westfield in November while the blonde beauty was in town to launch her new beauty range, The Base.
Prior to that she was seen shopping at famous high-end baby boutique Bel Bambini in West Hollywood and baby Dior in Paris in October.

IF LARA IS PREGNANT, SHE IS HAVING THE WORLDS LONGEST PREGNANCY
If the rumours were right, there ought to be a Lara Bingle baby by now.They began in July last year, with Woman's Day saying the 27 year old must be preggers as she "was spotted in a series of loose-fitting outfits and appearing self-conscious about her tummy".
Yes. They said that in earnest.
Then The Daily Telegraph confirmed there was indeed a rumour.
"Everyone is talking about it," their "well placed source" said.
"It's hard to know if it's true given how much stuff has been said about them but the rumour is definitely that Lara is pregnant."
Woman's Day, having forgotten their July announcement, broadcast the news again in September.
"Yes, she's pregnant," they exclaimed.
Now, the same Daily Tele reporter who got the July scoop, has "confirmed" the news.
"Lara Bingle confirms pregnancy by showing off her growing baby bump poolside in the US"
In what will be the longest pregnancy in history, the Tele says: "The controversial model and her partner Sam Worthington are expecting their first child over the coming months."
This news all because Bingle, who has been dating 37-year-old Worthington since 2013, posted a picture of herself, "buxom" breasts overflowing and looking fuller in the figure.
Maybe.
The shot is blurry, so Bingle, who notoriously likes to fuel the rumour fires of gossip sites, may or may not be "confirming" her supposed pregnancy.
Just like changing her name to Bingle Worthington on Instagram may or may not be "confirming" she has married her Avatar boyfriend.
"It's all just love. [Worthington] calls me his wife all the time. He has since the day I met him. It's nice, it's very flattering," she has evasively said.
For those who care, we'll believe the rumours when we see a Bingle baby.
In the meantime, we can exclusively confirm that the rumours are just that.

FRESH LARA BINGLE AND SAM WORTHINGTON WEDDING RUMOURS EMERGE
New details have emerged surrounding Lara Bingle and Sam Worthington’s rumoured wedding.
Australian magazines WHO and OK! are both reporting that the celebrity couple did indeed tie the knot late last month, saying ‘I do’ in a private ceremony in front of a handful of family and friends before New Year’s Eve.
A source “close” to the pair told WHO: “They married between Christmas and New Year in a very intimate ceremony,” adding, “They wanted it to be small and simple.”
The source added that Lara’s mum Sharon and her brother, Josh were among the loved ones present.
The magazine also claims the duo are expecting their first child in March.
It’s not known exactly where their secret wedding took place although many are reporting it all went down in the Maldives — a favourite holiday destination for the well-travelled pair.
If the rumours are to be believed and the pair did wed in secret, it’s not entirely surprising. Lara hinted that she might be about to take the next step with her beau in a Facebook post on Boxing Day: “As we long for the fresh beginnings that come with a New Year, I wish you a holiday season to remember. LBx.”
Then, on December 31 the model-turned-entrepreneur changed her name on Instagram to Lara Bingle Worthington, and fans were quick to pick up on the addition. She then shared a snap of her favourite poem I Carry Your Heart with Me by E.E Cummings. The cryptic photo was met with hundreds of congratulatory messages from her followers.
Earlier this week, the Avatar star was notably absent from the Sydney premiere of his upcoming film Paper Planes, with some suggesting that he might have been on his honeymoon. But then, given what we know about the introverted actor, it’s not out of character for him to shun a public event, even if he is the star attraction.
As for the persistent baby rumours that have been lingering since September, we’re none the wiser. She’s been spotted shopping for baby clothes at high-end boutiques in Paris and Hollywood and has been snapped visiting medical clinics in New York City. The source told WHO that Lara and Sam “wanted to be husband and wife before they baby's arrival,” which is said to be in March.
One thing’s for sure, while Aussie media has been having a field day playing what feels like the world’s longest guessing game, it would be fab to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth eventually.
Bingle, 27, and Worthington, 38, met in New York in September 2013 through mutual friend Natalie Imbruglia, and have been inseparable since.
