Nicola Adams’ girlfriend Ella Baig took a leaf out of Rihanna’s maternity book as she popped up on a red carpet with her baby bump proudly on show.
The couple announced earlier this year that they are expecting their first child, and enjoyed a rare night out to attend the Lightyear premiere in London on Tuesday.
Rubbing shoulders with the likes of model Maya Henry, Love Island’s Laura Anderson and actress Keke Palmer, Nicola, 39, and Ella, 24, got dressed up to the nines for their star-studded evening at Cineworld Leicester Square for the launch of the Toy Story spin-off.
Blogger Ella oozed confidence as she posed wearing a black cut-out minidress, which left her baby bump on display, teamed with strappy heels. Strictly Come Dancing star Nicola looked dapper beside her, rocking a black and white checked suit.
At one point, the former boxer was seen gently resting her hand on Ella’s stomach as they smiled for the cameras.
The pair shared their baby news in February, with Ella falling pregnant after three years to have a baby using her egg and a sperm donor who resembles Ella.

In a joint Instagram post along with a picture of them kissing and another of the baby’s scan, they wrote: ‘We’re so excited to announce that our family is expanding.
‘After what feels like a lifetime, we can finally say we’re going to be parents! We’re so excited to share this magical journey with you all, the ups, the downs everything in between.
‘Welcome to the world little one.’

Speaking to Hello! Magazine, Nicola said: ‘It’s super cool. I’m excited, happy, nervous and just wondering what to expect. All my friends have boys, so I was like: “Yes!” when I found out.’
Nicola and Ella began dating in 2018 after the athlete’s split from fellow boxer Marlen Esparza.
