Adwoa Aboah showed off her growing baby bump as she arrived at her hotel in New York City on Tuesday, after announcing she is pregnant at the Met Gala.
The Top Boy star, 31, is expecting her first child with U.S. skater Daniel Wheatley, 33, whom she’s been dating since last year.
Adwoa looked typically stylish during the low-key outing as she wore a white crop top and blue low-rise joggers, with a red hoodie draped over her shoulders.
She accessorised with dark shades and carried her phone – which had a picture of the moment she revealed her pregnancy to the world on it.
Daniel cut a casual figure in a checked shirt and navy shorts as he followed closely behind her.

It comes after Adwoa revealed she’s pregnant with her first child, as she debuted her baby bump at the 2024 Met Gala on Monday.
She showed off the blossoming bump in a quirky ensemble for the glitzy fashion night in New York City.
Rather than slip into a big budget designer gown, Adwoa took inspiration from an iconic high street brand, as she showed off her bump in a red ruffled crop top from H& M.
The top comprised a capelet in fiery red silk organza, its tulle ruffles resembling petals, worn over a bralette delicately embroidered with rhinestones.
Adwoa’s look was paired with a voluminous bubble-hem skirt in red silk taffeta, lending an effortlessly modern edge to this charm-infused confection.
Speaking about the look, Adwoa added: ‘My Met Gala looks are always very instinctive – I love leaning into the theme, but I always want to feel completely like myself with the confidence to stand out from the rest.
‘We created a look to mark a very special moment in my life.’
Adwoa is in currently in a relationship with U.S. skater Daniel Wheatley, 33, whom she’s been dating since last year.
The couple often keep their romance low-key, sharing the odd cosy snaps of one another on birthdays and just special occasions.
Chatting to PORTER last year, she discussed conquering the fashion world.
Speaking on the world of modeling, the Netflix star said: ‘You get to a stage in your career where you no longer do group shoots or covers.’
‘You do campaigns and editorial by yourself. It becomes a very solitary kind of job and experience. And so [on set], I loved that I was getting to be with people all the time.’

She openly discussed that rejection is part of the job: ‘I think I have about 10 million layers of skin, because of having to do a lot of self-work very early in my twenties.
‘Don’t get me wrong; there were a few parts this year that I got close to that I really wanted. I’m learning each time. I just feel like something’s coming. I don’t know when it’s coming, but I have full belief.’
Adwoa has been open about her problems with drink and drugs, previously saying she tried marijuana at the age of 14 before moving on to harder drugs.
Last year, she revealed she was ‘pushed to rip apart myself and put it all back together’ while in a treatment facility for her drug addiction.
The socialite and former front cover star of Vogue added that she is ‘lucky’ to be sober and go to treatment as it forced her to confront herself and her addiction issues.
Speaking on the Reign With Josh Smith podcast for World Mental Health Day, she said: ‘I was lucky enough to go to treatment, so I met a mad variety of people there who’d been through all sorts of different things.
‘It kicks it out of you when you are forced to really confront yourself. I’m actually quite lucky. A lot of sober people say that. I think I’m quite lucky that I was pushed to deal with it now.’
‘Pushed to pick apart any judgments I had towards other people. Pushed to rip apart myself and put it all back together so that I could look at things a bit differently.
‘Even though it was pretty f***ing s**t, I’m pretty lucky to be quite honest that I’ve been given this chance to do things differently and to look at situations in a more empathetic way, actually.’
The model, who is often seen on the front row of major fashion shows, has been open about her problems with drink and drugs – back in 2016 she candidly spoke about first trying marijuana at the age of 14 after getting drunk at a house party.
From then on, she said she tried cocaine and ketamine, with the latter being the drug which ‘really got’ her.
Using her platform to raise awareness for Mental Health Week, she added: ‘I’ve resigned myself to the fact that life is just so messy and one’s mental health journey couldn’t be further from linear.
‘So the fact is it’s just ebbs and flows and we find ways of dealing with things and then we’re confronted with another thing, whether it be grief or identity or love or sex, it’s endless.
‘I think because our stories change and evolve, and we grow so our perspective on things changes, and it’s so mad that you can look at a situation that happened a few years ago and then with some age and wisdom you suddenly reframe it and you’re like, “Okay maybe it was my fault”.
‘Or maybe there are different ways that we can look at things, I think that comes with age definitely. I’ve started really putting into place those boundaries and knowing what’s good for me and what is not good for me.’
Stars in attendance for the evening included Kim Kardashian , who sent shockwaves as she flaunted her astonishingly small waist in a silver custom Maison Margiela gown by John Galliano.
Her sister Kylie Jenner kept it simple and chic in a rose-water colored strapless gown by Oscar de la Renta, paired with a rose in her hair.

The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition falls on the first Monday in May every year and is held at New York City ‘s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This year the event was titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion while the dress code was The Garden of Time.
Jennifer Lopez , Zendaya , Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth were this year’s co-chairs. Also on the committee is Vogue’s Anna Wintour .
The honorary chairs for the evening were Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.
‘This year’s co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala ,’ Vogue shared.
The showcase features approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute’s permanent collection — with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again.
The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea and sky.
‘It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,’ said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition.
‘One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.’
Stars in attendance on the night included Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Cardi B and Emily Ratajkowski.
Gwendoline Christie, La La Anthony and Ashley Graham hosted while YouTuber Emma Chamberlain was on hand to interview stars on the red carpet.
