Pregnant Jesinta Franklin goes glam for Ripples lunch in Sydney’s scorching heatwave

Jesinta Franklin recently confirmed her second pregnancy with husband Buddy. 

And on Friday, the 29-year-old beauty stepped-out in a longline white frock to enjoy lunch at Mosman’s upscale restaurant, Ripples at Chowder Bay. 

Jesinta braved the Sydney heat in the long-sleeve ensemble, and appeared as chic as ever as walked towards the venue with a male pal.

The brunette beauty looked to be in good spirits as she chatted to her stylish friend as they arrived at the harbourside restaurant. 

Jesinta paired her white dress with a nude-hued handbag, which was slung over one shoulder. She then completed her outfit with nude-hued strappy heels. 

The model accessorised simply with a chunky gold chain necklace.  

The former Miss Universe Australia wore her brunette tresses in an elegant up-style, while showcasing her flawless visage with minimal makeup. 

Sydneysiders are currently battling a record-setting heatwave, with the mercury rising to above 40 degrees in recent days.

Jesinta confirmed she was ‘halfway through’ her second pregnancy in an interview with Vida Glow last month.

‘It was a very big surprise for us. Tullulah [her daughter] will be getting a sibling at the end of March next year, so she will have just turned one,’ she said.

‘So I’ll have a 13-month-old and a newborn, which was very daunting at first. I found out a week after Buddy went into the [AFL] hub, which was all just a lot to deal with at once.’  

‘It was very hard to conceive the first time with Tullulah, and for this [pregnancy] to be such an unplanned surprise is a blessing,’ she added.

‘I had the moment where, that I wished for with Tullulah, where you pee on a stick and it’s such a surprise and it’s very exciting.

‘So I got that moment where I feel like I missed out on with Tullulah just because of all the challenges.’

Jesinta and Buddy married in a lavish Blue Mountains ceremony in November 2016.
