ACTRESS and model Izara Aishah has finally confirmed her pregnancy with the public, saying that she is due to give birth to her second child soon, Harian Metro reported.
“It was never my intention to keep it a secret,” she said.
Izara, 30, said she only realised she was going to have a baby during the fourth month of her pregnancy.
“My mood was different. When I did the test and it came back positive, my husband and daughter were excited.
“I am grateful to not have experienced any serious effects during my early trimester,” she said.
She is due to give birth next month.
“My husband and I have no preference for the child’s gender,” she said.
Izara and Adib Khalid, stepson of Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza, got married in 2017. They have a three-year-old girl.

According to Kosmo! Ahad Marissa Dania Hakim, 18, was the subject of much discussion on social media.
She has since come forward to give her side of the story, Berita Harian reported.
In an Instagram post, she wrote: “Some of what has gone viral is true, while some untrue.
“It is not fair for people to hear the side of one party, as what has been said is not 100% correct, but I don’t have to convince or satisfy anyone,” she said.
Marissa appealed to the public not to blame her parents.
She dispelled talk that she was responsible for breaking up a marriage.
“There may be many assumptions about me and the man.
“But suffice to say that only we know what happened between us,” she said.
