Her outfit seems to compliment the reveal super well … with a gold cross and some jewels resting on the bump!

Saudi-led coalition launches deadly air raids in Yemen’s capital Sanaa

The Saudi-led coalition has carried out air raids in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, killing more than 12 people, according to residents, a day after the Houthi rebel group launched a deadly attack in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Early on Tuesday, the coalition said it had begun air raids against strongholds and camps in Sanaa belonging to the Iran-aligned Houthi group, according to Saudi state media. The attack...
