Steph Claire Smith shows off her baby bump in a bikini after her quarantine period ended

She burst into tears last week when she was told her quarantine period had ended, after spending 11 days in isolation due to the Northern Beaches Covid-19 outbreak.

And on Monday, fitness sensation Steph Claire Smith enjoyed a well-deserved day by the pool, saying she’s now in ‘holiday mode’ after her disrupted Christmas.

In a series of photos shared on Instagram, the pregnant 25-year-old showed off her blossoming baby bump in a stylish bikini.

In one picture, Steph modelled her chic floral two-piece, which featured a bustier-style strapless top and tie-side briefs.

She went makeup free and protected herself in the sun with a beige hat.

In another image, she displayed her belly while resting a book on her lap.

‘Holiday mode,’ Steph wrote. 

It appears that she’s enjoying a relaxing break at her family’s farm near the Murray River in country Victoria, where she and husband Josh Miller tied the knot. 

Last Thursday, Steph erupted into tears of joy after learning her quarantine period had ended.  

In a series of posts on Instagram Stories, the model couldn’t contain her emotions.

‘Oh my god. It’s the last day, guys. I’m so excited to step outside my door,’ she began.

In a follow-up post, the pregnant star shared a photo of herself openly weeping. 

Steph explained that she and her husband, Josh Miller, had received a phone call from The Department of Health and Human Services telling them the news.

‘This is how excited I am about being out of quarantine – someone from DHHS called and said that our quarantine has ended due to the fact that we have our 11th day test results back and they’re negative and no symptoms,’ she wrote.

‘I instantly started crying, and then Josh confirmed if that meant we were free and she said we still have to stay in until 12am tonight.’

The 12am curfew meant she and Josh had to spend New Year’s Eve in lockdown.

In a post on Instagram before Christmas, Steph revealed she and Josh were having to quarantine in Melbourne after visiting Sydney’s Northern Beaches. 

‘Just our luck hey. Sending love to everyone else in similar positions… Self quarantining for the next 14 days means no Christmas with family,’ she wrote.

‘After the year we’ve had, this is just the rotten cherry on top. Going to cry when I need to, scream when I want to… and lift myself up whenever I can.

‘Joshy and I are just grateful to have a home to quarantine in, and that we have each other. Thinking of everyone who is now going to be alone this Christmas.’
