Niki Taylor will add “mother” to her nameplate come spring. The 33-year-old supermodel is expecting her first child with her husband, NASCAR driver Burney Lamar.

Taylor began modeling professionally when she was 14. She’s graced numerous magazine covers, including those for Seventeen, Vogue, Allure, ELLE, and Sports Illustrated. Taylor is also a familiar face for CoverGirl. In 2001, she was critically injured in a car accident in Atlanta, which left her with internal injuries and severe liver damage. She was in a coma for six months before undergoing 56 reparative operations and extended physical therapy. She has since returned to modeling as well as developed her entrepreneurial side in the biz, opening a store, and launching her own fragrance in 2005.

Taylor was previously married to Arena football player Matt Martinez for two years, with whom she had twin boys, Jake and Hunter, now 13. She became engaged to current husband Lamar after only their third date, and they married Dec. 27, 2006.
