Pregnant TikTok star Sydney Nicole Gifford can’t wait to satisfy her baby boy in early 2025.
“[I’m looking forward to] all of it,” Gifford, 24, exclusively told Us Weekly on the Miss USA 2024 beauty pageant on Sunday, August 4. “I absolutely love Legos so I believe I’m going to be an awesome boy mom. I really like Legos and cars and all this stuff. This was made for me.”
Earlier this month, the social media star announced she was expecting her first baby with fiancé Nathan Sloneker.
While the primary trimester “was the toughest” for her, Gifford said she was feeling great when she showcased her baby bump on a red carpet for the primary time.
“In my first trimester after I was nauseous and puking, I used to be definitely not feeling gorgeous,” she told Us while wearing a Miscreants dress from Revolve contained in the Peacock Theater. “But I’m feeling higher now and I’ve got my belly out so I’m feeling great. … Once you discover something that matches right, it is admittedly fun to indicate off the bump.”
In an August 4 TikTok video, Gifford said her morning sickness used to last all day long. She experienced hormonal pimples and fatigue leaving her “out of breath” in her first trimester.
Gifford also said she briefly struggled to enjoy food without feeling in poor health. “I just felt so gross that I didn’t wish to eat,” she shared along with her followers. “It was lots.”
One one that has been by Gifford’s side through thick and thin is her fiancé. Engaged since May 2023, the couple participated in a pregnancy photo shoot together before announcing their news.
Away from the cameras, Sloneker, 24, has been making life just a little bit easier for Gifford.
“He’s been absolutely amazing,” she gushed. “I loved to cook before pregnancy and being pregnant, I can’t do this. He’s been cooking and cleansing and he’s been amazing. I can’t wait for him to be a dad.”
As Gifford continues to document her life on social media, she hopes fans might be each entertained and inspired by her journey to motherhood. She also desires to remind her followers to “go after” what they need in an effort to live the life they dream of living.
“I at all times hoped that I could have a job that I really like, fall in love and begin a family,” she said. “If you’re younger, it looks like such a crazy dream but just go after it, work hard and pursue what you wish.”
