The Bachelor’s Laura Byrne hides her stomach amid pregnancy rumours just like Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle unwittingly caused a surge in the sales of purple folders last month after she used one to conceal her baby bump upon her arrival in Sydney.

And it seems fans of The Bachelor’s Laura Byrne may be running to their nearest Apple store if her recent pregnancy rumours prove true, after she was spotted covering her tummy with a laptop on Wednesday.

The jewellery designer, 32, was spotted in Paddington on Wednesday, and drew attention away from her figure in a baggy T-shirt and billowing trousers.

Laura made sure to cover her mid-section with a MacBook laptop, a single sheet of paper and a take-away food bag.

The statuesque brunette completed her look with a pair of sensible flat sandals, a gold pendant necklace and a matching statement bangle. 

She also appeared to wear minimal makeup for the occasion, allowing her glowing complexion to take centre stage.

Laura first sparked pregnancy rumours on Tuesday when she attended the 2018 Australian Fashion Laureate in Sydney with her boyfriend Matty Johnson.

The reality TV star set tongues wagging after onlookers noticed she was not drinking alcohol at the event.

And while posing by the media wall before the ceremony, she displayed what appeared to be a tiny bump in her slinky We Are Kindred dress.

Her glowing appearance even prompted one eagle-eyed fan to comment on Instagram: ‘Pregnant’. 

A guest at the event told Daily Mail Australia that the appearance of The Bachelor 2017 couple had raised more than a few eyebrows.

‘Laura wasn’t drinking at the event like many other guests and didn’t talk to media,’ they said. 

Matty, who hails from Brisbane, is a marketing manager-turned-TV personality, while Laura is the owner of Paddington jewellery boutique ToniMay.
