The couple is already a parent to their 5-year-old daughter Aria.

Mara acknowledges that Aria is the “most excited of all” to welcome her younger siblings. she said,

“She’s been talking nonstop about being a big sister since the day she found out, telling everyone we see, and practicing with her baby dolls, She even let the secret slip out to some family sooner than we planned on announcing it because she starts her conversations by blurting out, ‘Hi! Mama has a baby in the belly!’ It’s the sweetest thing to see.”

On Tuesday, February 28, Mara also shared the exciting news on Instagram sharing several family pictures of them posing with an ultrasound pic of their forthcoming baby.

Will Mara Martin recreate the history of walking down the runway while breastfeeding the child?

In 2018, Martin caught everyone’s attention after walking down the runway while breastfeeding her 5-month-old daughter Aria.

The new mom sashayed the runway during the Sports Illustrated swimwear show at Miami Swim Week donning an on-shoulder, gold bikini as she suckled her baby, who wore noise-canceling headphones, a green bikini of her own, and a diaper.

At the time, the model said she was “proud” to represent working moms at that moment.

When Mara asked about recreating the ramp walk she said she “doesn’t know if I’ll breastfeed on the runway again,” however, she “definitely” plans on breastfeeding her second baby.

She added,

“We’ll see how it all goes — the important thing is that my baby is fed and loved, I had such an amazing experience breastfeeding Aria, so I’m hoping to share that bond again.”

“At the same time, I’m not going to be too hard on myself, and I’m ready to roll with whatever happens. Doing what’s best for you and your family is the most important thing, not the stigma and outside pressure of breast versus bottle feeding.”
