Speaking to ELLE UK last week, Poppy revealed that she and Archie are expecting a baby girl and voiced her delight.
She said: ‘Obviously, I would have been fine with either and when I was younger I always thought when I get pregnant, I wouldn’t find out, but the second we got told we could find out, we did. I’m so excited. I come from all girls, we’re very girl heavy. Girls are great.’
She added that her sisters, model Cara, 32, and socialite Chloe, 39, were both delighted when she told them the news.
She said: ‘We were all in New York, with each other and with the bump and there was a lot of talking to the bump, stroking the bump. They’re just elated.’
Poppy and Archie kept the news of her pregnancy to themselves for a while and only told friends and family around the four-month mark.
The model admitted she was ‘really nervous’ about her pregnancy and wanted to ‘protect’ it for a while.
She explained: ‘It just feels like such an extraordinary privilege to be able to do this, to be able to have a baby at this age and at this time, and when it happened, I couldn’t really believe it.’
She has long wanted to start a family of her own, but admitted in recent years she thought it might not happen for her and had ‘made peace with it’, before her joyous news.

Poppy and Archie went public with their romance in July when they attended the BST Hyde Park festival together.
Archie is the son of Simon Keswick, former director of multi-billion pound Hong Kong conglomerate Jardine Matheson – owner of the Mandarin Oriental H๏τel Group.
The family has a private fortune of £6.35bn, according to the Sunday Times Rich List, and own a 18,000-acre estate in Angus.
Now the group’s interests range from prime Hong Kong real estate and brands, including the Mandarin Oriental H๏τel, to Vietnam’s largest dairy producer.
Archie was previously described as a ‘demon on the tennis court’ who ‘loves house music’ by Tatler.
The Eton-educated businessman was named as one of the world’s most eligible bachelors back in 2019.

Archie is no stranger to a high-profile relationship, having previously dated actress Sienna Miller, who once lived with Poppy during their New York days.
While before finding love with Archie, Poppy was linked to Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece, 24, in April 2023.
Poppy and her ex husband James Cook split in 2022 after tying the knot in 2014 at a Knightsbridge church ceremony.
However, rumours started to circulate about their marriage when James resigned as a director of her company Poppy Delevingne Limited, the firm which files the accounts for her ‘pH๏τographic activities’.
The Mail On Sunday reported in January 2022 that the pair had ‘consciously uncoupled’ after being little more than friends for the best part of a year.
The following month Poppy flashed her ringless hand to pH๏τographers at Perfect Magazine’s London Fashion Week party.
She finally broke her silence and confirmed the split in September last year, when she admitted she thought the marriage would’ve ended even earlier if not for the ‘stigma’ surrounding divorce.

Speaking on the Origins With Cush Jumbo podcast, Poppy insisted that despite their split, she and James ‘will always have a good relationship’.
She explained: ‘There’s a lot of love and respect there. It just no longer worked for us.
‘I met him when I was 20 years old and 15 years is a long time and I think 15 years to be with someone is a success and sometimes these things just have to come to an end but even so within that, when it did end, that feeling, it was this sort of like bubbling up of freedom. I felt sort of 20 all over again.’
