The Sydney-based personality said that she hasn’t had any cravings, but now is eating a bit more as she’s ‘a little more hungry’ being pregnant.
‘I obviously feel a little more hungry, you have a life growing inside of you,’ Jesinta said, adding that she and Buddy haven’t yet thought of names for their unborn child.
Jesinta added that with some protesters being opposed to the Melbourne Cup because of the treatment of horses, her appearance at the event was ‘a big consideration,’ but she was ‘proud’ to attend with Bumble.
Jesinta’s frock featured a high-neck, long sleeves and a flowing skirt, which put her baby bump on full display.
The brunette wore her short locks neatly straightened and wore a white hair clip and matching white heels.
