Alana Blanchard Opens Up about Being Pregnant While Getting Her Portrait Drawn - The Inertia

Alana Blanchard was on her way back from a shoot in Tahiti, and she had a feeling, a fleeting hope, that she might be pregnant. With nearly two million followers on Instagram, Blanchard has become arguably the most recognizable woman in surfing; her career has flourished due in no small part to her modeling efforts which in many ways have overshadowed her status as a former competitor on the World Tour. While navigating a pregnancy alongside a prosperous modeling career might seem like a stressful proposition, Blanchard seems totally at ease entering a new phase of life. When we caught up with her at the 2017 US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, her boyfriend, professional surfer Jack Freestone, had just paddled out for his heat, and she was tossing around baby names. Currently, they’re still undecided on names for their baby boy.
