SUPERMODEL Eunice Olumide has revealed she got remarried in secret and is expecting a baby this week with her new husband.

Eunice, 36, previously wed Commonwealth Games gold medal gymnast Steve Frew – but they split up and still remain friends.

But after a whirlwind romance she has married a second time– to American IT specialist Dario Richards.

Eunice and Richards tied the knot in a quiet ceremony last year just eight months after they met – and not even her parents were invited.

The Edinburgh-born model, of Nigerian origin, grew up in the city’s Wester Hailes housing estate.

She was discovered at the age of 15 by a modelling agency and has gone on to feature in Vogue as well as working with Prada, Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen.

Now she is planning to juggle her stellar career with motherhood and marriage.

She said: “Dario is a systems manager in IT.

“We met in Jamaica on my birthday in October, 2022, and we got married in June last year, within eight months of meeting each other and I think that is enough time to know.

“Sometimes it’s actually better if you don’t wait a long time to get married.

“Also, when we got married, it was like nothing. It was literally just us and our witnesses.

“We decided to keep it totally quiet and keep it to ourselves in order to give ourselves as much chance to be successful as possible without any pressure.

“It’s kind of like being pregnant. I just didn’t tell anyone.

“If you bumped into me you’d notice I was pregnant, but I just announced my pregnancy publicly in the last 10 days.”
