Krupa and Nunes tied the knot in Poland in August 2018, and announced they were expecting their first baby in late May. At the time, Krupa shared a photo of a positive pregnancy test.
“Hi Guys! Just wanted to share this amazing news with everyone. Hubby [Nunes] and I are beyond excited about this new chapter in our life and can’t wait to meet this little [baby],” she wrote at the time.
The couple announced they were expecting a girl in September.
Krupa later shared maternity photos with PEOPLE, telling the magazine she was excited to welcome another life into the world.
“I always admired women that were pregnant, and to me it’s such a beautiful moment in a woman’s life. I wanted to make sure it’s captured,” she said of her maternity photos. “Women are like superheroes. The fact our bodies are built to create a little human being is beyond amazing, and I want to embrace that and show that a pregnant woman can still be beautiful, sexy and full of confidence while creating this miracle.”
Krupa starred in the second and third seasons of RHOM. The Bravo series ran three seasons, ending in 2013.
At the time she appeared on RHOM, the Polish-born supermodel was married to Romain Zago. Their marriage lasted from 2013 to 2017. She appeared on Dancing With The Stars in Season 9 and serves as a judge on the Polish version of Top Model.
