“I’m a few days away from being eight months pregnant, so now I’m just a little tired. I’m always just getting tired, anything I do. If I wash the dishes and make breakfast, I’m like, ‘Okay, I need a nap.’ That’s how it is now, but otherwise, I’m good,” she said at the time.
SpeakingwithSI Swimsuitin June, Herrington said her boyfriend had “been so supportive” throughout her pregnancy.
“My first trimester was so hard for me physically and mentally, and he has been there every step of the way. I’m so lucky to have him,” she said of McKinley, adding, “Once I found out I was pregnant, I downloaded about four different pregnancy apps. I’ve been reading everything I possibly can about pregnancy, labor and delivery. I went and bought books and even a pregnancy journal.”
At the time, Herrington also said, “I’m excited to meet him and hear his little cry. Also getting to know his personality and seeing who he’s going to look like.”
