Congrats Ymre, but this means we will be missing her for another year

pregnant??? wooow that's unexpected, she's only 20, so weird. congrats to them!

I'd guess that's the final nail in the coffin in her career which was never very consistent, best of luck to her.

^ My words exactly.
I suppose she can come back afterwards, it's happened before to other models, but it's such a fickle business and she might just be left on the shelf.
Congrats to her anyway.

Which is a shame because she's one of the most exquisite beauties in today's modeling business.

 

[coco vaughn]

^ yep, basically she and her qualities were just wasted.
she had some great moments in her career, but actually it's a confusing one, probably because of a bad management or her own choices, who knows.
such a waste of potential, i'm pretty sure we will never really see her again as a topmodel, what is sad. i just hope she's having a happy life, and earned enough money in this business...

I actually don't think it will be the proverbial nail in the coffin for her career.
I think it could have been if she had a certain look that was only 'in' right now (like the elf/alien look which had it's time for a few years) but she does have a rather timeless beauty which definitely gives her better odds of coming back following birth. But only time will tell and I wish her the best of luck in both motherhood and getting back into modeling afterwards

I echo those that say that her career will be probably over after the break. But I figure being a mother is a much greater achievement than modeling, so congratulations to her and I wish her and her boyfriend the best of luck

Not many people can live the rest of their lives off of a modeling career. She'd have to get another job sooner or later, better to start early and have relevant/hirable skills.
And having a baby is not a waste of potential! Being a good mother is way more important than whether or not she continues modeling; way more important than modeling in general!

I commend her on being brave enough to have a baby at 20 and give up a career I'm sure she loves!

A thread was created in RHI about Ymre's pregnancy: http://forums.thefashionspot.com/f63/model-ymre-stiekema-pregnant-183977.html
Further comments and news about her pregnancy that aren't related to her modeling career per se should be posted there. Thank you!

so i basically went through this whole thread and her previous one, i just have to say how stunning she is. better late than never though, right?! it was so interesting to see how her career has changed from going up and down, up and down all the time. i have of course noticed ymre before but never really appreciated her beauty until now. i really hope that we see her again in the future.

Very happy for her and she looks stunning as ever!

I found Ymre before leaving the Rodarte Fall 12 show and of course I had to photograph her. She always radiates happiness. I wish her the best of luck in all her future projects.
