Kim Kardashian shows off baby bump in bikini

She suffered throughout what she described as a difficult and painful pregnancy.

But in the few days before she was rushed to hospital with suspected preeclampsia, there was a sanguine beauty about Kim Kardashian as she relaxed in Los Angeles sunshine.

The 32-year-old looked beautiful as she showed off her expectant form in a pretty bikini while relaxing by a pool with friends.

She gained a substantial amount of weight during her pregnancy and Kardashian is apparently already trying to shift those pounds.

Meanwhile it's been revealed that the baby's name does NOT start with a 'k': 'They're not quite ready to announce the name yet,; a source close to the couple tells Us Weekly.

'But the name definitely does not start with a K, despite all the rumors that have been out.'

The reality star is reported to have just left hospital following the birth of her daughter in the early hours of Saturday morning according to Hollywood Life.

And according to reports she can’t wait to get back in the gym and regain her slim figure.

‘She’s already looking ahead to when she can exercise again,’ a source told Us Weekly.

Another added: ‘She really wants to get back into shape. It’s important to her.’

Kim, 32, was working with trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson throughout her pregnancy, but the publication also claims she is considering hiring Gunnar Peterson.

Gunnar is responsible for helping Kim’s younger sister Khloe, 28, with her recent 25lbs weight loss.

While she is not able to start exercising just yet, Kim is allegedly already watching what she eats.

The magazine claims that the star’s hospital room is chock-a-block with flowers but she has insisted well-wishers are not allowed to bring any tasty treats for her to eat.

‘She has over 30 bouquets from loved ones,’ a source said. ‘She told everyone not to bring sweets – she said she doesn’t need any temptations.’

It is believed that Kim and her daughter, whose name is yet to be revealed, will stay in hospital until the baby, who was born five weeks prematurely, reaches five pounds.

While Kim and the little one are getting some rest, the baby’s father Kanye West has apparently been hard at work.

The rapper’s creative juices have been flowing since he welcomed his daughter into the world.

‘He's been really inspired by the birth,’ a source told Life & Style. ‘He's written four songs already.’

The insider added that while Kanye, whose album Yeezus was released on Tuesday, has been busy with his music, he has also been very attentive to his two girls.

‘Kanye is actually really being good right now,’ the source said.

Kim is unsurprisingly enamoured with her child and gushed to a friend that the little one ‘is so cute and sweet’, according to Us Weekly.

But she had a stressful time during the birth over the weekend.

Warned by doctors that she was most likely suffering from the life-threatening condition preeclampsia, Kim was forced to deal with going into premature labour on Friday night to save the life of her baby girl.

With her 'blood pressure skyrocketing' and 'the baby in distress' according to reports, the TV favourite was forced to grit her teeth and get on with the delivery.

And the curvy brunette was so brave in dealing with the terrifying ordeal that her often absent beau, 36, is now desperate to marry her as soon as possible.

'They'll start planning their next project, a wedding, sooner rather than later,' a source told People.

'He definitely wants to marry her, he hasn't left her side.'

While their recently purchased $9million Bel Air home is being renovated, Kim and baby will be staying with her mother Kris Jenner and Kanye has also agreed to move in.

A source told HollywoodLife.com that the New Slaves hitmaker thinks the move is 'a good idea'.

The insider added: 'All that's going to happen is that the family is going to wait on Kim hand-and-foot and do everything around the house while she and Kanye just chill with the baby. That sounds like a deal. It's like first class service all the way at Kim's mom's house.'

The source also said: 'They want to take their girl home and love her and begin this journey together.

They're very thankful for the way they've been treated, and the hospitality [at the hospital] is amazing. But it's nothing like being at home, in your own space, with your own things.'

Model Petra Benova shows of her super -svelte figure in pink frilly bikini

She recently admitted that she was back on the market after splitting from her boyfriend.

And the single life certainly seemed to be agreeing with Slovakian model Petra Benova as she spent a relaxed day by the sea in Miami on Sunday.

Showing off her trim and toned figure in a pink frilly bikini, she seemed to have already acquired s hunky new male companion for her day out.

Proving just how much time she's spent soaking up the sun recently, the model looked browner than usual, having clearly spent a lot of time outdoors.

And the star looked just as svelte as usual as she strutted around the white sands, wearing the girlie pink bikini which had layers of embellished frills attached.

Petra proved that she's not just someone to watch from the sidelines as she spent most of her time in the water, totally submerging herself and getting her long blonde hair completely wet.

But while she was splashing around in the surf, the young model kept on her long silver pendant and matching earrings, covering her face with large aviator sunglasses.

And the star proved that she certainly wasn't lacking any male attention since the split.

She was spotted leaving the beach with an equally bronzed hunky male companion, chatting away as she gazed up at him.

Petra seemed to have removed her wet bikini and covered up in a long white sundress, cinched in at the waist with a studded belt.

The fun-loving star, who is currently located in the city, recently admitted that she had split from her boyfriend on Instagram.

She posted a picture of herself posing in a white tank top with the words: 'No boyfriend, no problem' emblazoned across the front.

When one of her pals asked if it was true, she responded: 'Yup- no BF. we broke up months ago now. Life is good.'

TOWIE's Jasmin Walia attempts her best sultry pose in starry swimsuit

She might not be as established as some of the other TOWIE cast members, but that's something that Jasmin Walia seems keen on changing.

The 22-year-old tried out her best Halle Berry impression on Wednesday as she was photographed emerging from a pool during her holiday in Marbella.

While the other cast members were elsewhere, the reality star posed for a series of snaps in her swimwear as best friend Abi Clarke looked on.

On the last day of filming for ITV2 spin-off The Only Ways Is Marbs, Jasmin was spotted adopting a number of sultry poses as she broke away from the others.

Looking like she might have a little way to go before she becomes the next Cara Delevingne, she pushed her hair up onto the top of her head as the camera clicked away.

Wearing a colourful swimming costume, with a picture of the solar system printed on the front, she tried her best to climb out of the pool in a provocative way.

Later she changed into a floral two-piece that made the most of her slimline figure, throwing her hands behind her head as she posed.

Taking a break between shots Jasmin, who was upgraded from an extra to fully fledged cast member in the last series, was spotted chatting to Abi.

The buxom brunette was wearing a bright blue bikini after ditching the sequinned number that she'd been wearing earlier in the day.

The BFFs, who went on their fair share of dates during the last series, have been spotted wearing a number of different bikinis over the last week, having clearly packed a bulging suitcase full of them.

Making the most of their topped up tans, the girls accompanied each other to the all-white Marbella party on Tuesday night, holding hands as they arrived.

Abi wore a tiny white and silver bandeau dress while Jasmin wore a low-cut lace dress with a feathered skirt, matched with towering heels.

After a week of sunbathing and partying the TOWIE cast are due to head to home as filming wraps with the show hitting screens on Sunday.

Lucy Mecklenburgh unveils her incredible figure in a plunging monokini

 She's been through a tough time of late after seeing her relationship with TOWIE co-star Mario Falcone come to an end amid allegations of cheating.

But Lucy Mecklenburgh ensured she got the best revenge possible as she showed off her incredible figure in not one, but two, skimpy swimsuits while enjoying her annual pilgrimage to Marbella, Spain, on Sunday.

Flaunting her recently slimmed-down figure for all to see, the 21-year-old reality star would have no doubt left her lothario former flame with a distinctly bitter taste in his mouth as she hit the beach in a daring plunging monokini.

Featuring glamorous sequin embellishment and a sexy cut-away design, the pretty peach one-piece showed off the Essex beauty's perfectly toned figure in all its glory as she frolicked in the sea.

But Lucy was clearly keen on maximising her tan and soon changed into a skimpy lime green two-piece as she made the most of the Spanish sun.

Parading her enviable figure for all to see, the boutique owner showed off her natural beauty by shunning the Essex convention and going make-up free.

Scraping her brunette locks back from her face, Lucy wore a pair of oversized sunglasses to protect her eyes from the rays as she enjoyed her day out at the beach.

And to add insult to injury, the pretty TV star was later spotted indulging her fast food craving by tucking into a giant sandwich and a plate of cheesy pasta as she relaxed in a beach-side cafe.

The TOWIE beauty seems to have cooled-down her recent healthy eating and exercise drive after recently launching her own fitness site, Results With Lucy.

The subscription service gives viewers the chance to work out alongside Lucy and her personal trainer Cecilia in a series of videos, with the website stating: 'Learn her exercise routines and train along, using the most up to date fitness techniques.'

Lucy called time on her relationship with her love rat former fiance, Mario Falcone, last month after discovering he had been sending Twitter messages to other girls.

Posting a tweet to her one million-plus followers, she wrote at the time: 'I finished with Mario 7days ago. It took him a while to move on ... This has reassured me I made the right decision.'

She then posted up a screen grab of his Twitter inbox showing him flirting with and pursuing a girl he'd previously met before.

But Mario has wasted no time in moving on, and has been spotted frolicking with a number of bikini-clad beauties throughout the TOWIE cast's stint in Marbella.

The TOWIE gang are in sunny Spain to shoot this year's episode of summer special The Only Way Is Marbs, which hits screens on June 2.

Kimberley Garner is the best advert for her own designs as she models white monokini in Cannes

As the proud owner of a toned, tanned figure, when it came to advertising her swimwear range, there was only one model Kimberley Garner needed to call upon - herself.

The former Made In Chelsea star sported a white monokini of her own design as she sunned herself in Cannes earlier this week.

Kimberley, 23, showed off her incredibly lithe figure in the cut out one-piece, which she teamed with gold jewellery and a sun hat.

The ex reality star, who has attended the film festival's closing ceremony on Sunday night, has been enjoying the sights and sunshine during her time in the French city.

And making the most of the warm weather, Kimberley enjoyed some time on the sands before heading out on yacht trip later in the day.

Once on the vessel, Kimberley displayed her athletic prowess with a spot of diving, before indulging in a fresh fruit platter and juice drink as she headed back to shore.

From tiny monokinis to even smaller Brazilian style bikinis, Kimberley has been working on her Kimberley London line for the past few months to perfect her designs.

But while she has only been seeing the dream become a reality over the past few weeks, she insists that she has had the ideas for the range since the tender age of nine.

She told MailOnline in a recent interview: 'I've been working on this range since 1st January but I've had the ideas since I was a child and I got told off for sewing sequins onto a bikini while I was in school!'

And Kimberley has certainly pulled out all the stops to ensure that her range is a success - from funding it herself to the fact the designs are made in England, to the fabric imported from Italy and the tiny gold coin and 'K' details made in France.

She said of the range: 'I wanted to make my designs wholesome but also sexy and cheeky, and provide an aspirational image for young girls.'

The reality star has also ensured the swimwear is affordable, with the £65 price tag sitting somewhere between high-street prices and designer.

She said: 'Melissa Odabash's bikinis cost around £200 so I wanted to keep the price down on my designs.'

But Kimberley's comment about pricing comes after Melissa's recent comment slating the young star for daring to design her own swimwear collection with no experience.

Melissa told the Daily Mail's Richard Kay earlier this month: 'How dare she? Who does Kimberley think she is? She knows nothing. The problem with women like Kimberley is that they think they can do what I do and this is easy. But it’s not.'

However, Kimberley is fully aware of the hard work that designing swimwear requires, having given up all of her free time over the past five months to dedicate herself to making her new business perfect.

She said: 'I haven't seen a weekend for months. This is my baby and I'm doing everything I can to make it a success.'
