Former congresswoman Katie Hill has revealed that she is pregnant, posing in a bikini for Vanity Fair two years after resigning from office under a cloud when her 'throuple' with a campaign staffer was exposed.
Hill, 34, is now 21 weeks pregnant with her first child, she and her partner Alex Thomas, a former reporter for Playboy turned novelist, revealed in an interview with the magazine.
One photo shot for the magazine shows Hill in a dark blue bikini with her baby bump visible while Thomas holds her aloft from a pond.
The couple are expecting a baby boy, and Hill described the pregnancy as a 'miracle' after openly discussing her battle with endometriosis, which left her with one ovary.
The California Democrat resigned from office in 2019 while facing a House ethics probe, after a DailyMail.com article revealed her three-way relationship with her then-husband Kenneth Heslep and 22-year-old campaign staffer Morgan Desjardins.

Her revenge porn lawsuit over the article, which included censored explicit images exposing the inappropriate tryst, was tossed out of court by a judge on First Amendment grounds.
A judge ordered Hill ordered to pay $105,000 in legal fees to DailyMail.com parent company Mail Media Inc, in addition to paying the legal fees of other journalists, which she says bring her outstanding legal costs to roughly $400,000.
With her savings depleted and without a steady paycheck, Hill is now considering bankruptcy protection from the court-ordered payments, according to Vanity Fair.
Prior to her fall from grace, Hill was considered a rising star in the Democratic Party, flipping a traditionally Republican seat in the US House in the 2018 election and cultivating a close relationship with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
