The cover image shows her lifting up her bright pink maxi-dress to to reveal her baby bump. She also wears orange and pink bikini bottoms and a shell anklet.
Her makeup is simple, and her long blonde hair is slicked back away from her face.
‘Sneak peak of @stellarmag with my Muffin. Out this Sunday,’ she captioned the post, which she shared with her 873,000 followers.
Mishap: According to the cover Elyse is set to discuss ‘impeding motherhood’ but also her embarrassing spelling mistake that caught global attention
Elyse will discuss ‘impeding motherhood’ with Stellar, as well as her embarrassing spelling mistake that caught global attention late last year.
She had incorrectly spelled ‘voilà’ as ‘wallah’ in August, and her gaffe went viral months later when it was picked up by Instagram comedian The Fat Jewish.
According to Merriam-Webster, the word voilà is ‘used to call attention, to express satisfaction or approval, or to suggest an appearance as if by magic’.
Oops: Elyse’s mishap occurred back in August, when the leggy blonde shared a stunning photo of herself sitting on a bed in black underwear and a white shirt with the caption: ‘Wallah’
Wallah is an Arabic expression meaning ‘I swear by God’ used to make a promise or express great credibility.
The word is also a common suffix in many languages of South Asia referring to a person involved with a specified thing or business (e.g. a ‘rickshaw-wallah’).
The Byron Bay-based model is quoted as saying on the cover: ‘I make mistakes all the time. I can’t spell. I know that and I’m okay with that.’
Elyse and Josh, who won The Block in 2017, announced their baby news in September during a trip to the Northern Territory.
