Transgender model Danna Sultana has sparked debate with her Instagram post featuring her husband, Esteban Landrau, who is eight months pregnant. The couple, who transitioned from male to female and female to male, respectively, has faced scrutiny over their gender transition decisions.
Sultana’s post announcing the pregnancy has elicited mixed reactions online, with many questioning the dynamics of their unconventional journey to parenthood.
Danna Sultana, who was born male and identifies as female, is expecting a baby with Esteban Landrau, who was born a woman but identifies as a man.
Taking to Instagram, the model shared the adorable image with her 219,000 followers earlier this month, along with the hashtag ‘Love Is Love’.
The besotted couple conceived their baby naturally, as both Danna and Esteban still have their natural organs, local media reported.
At eight-months pregnant, Esteban recently thought he was having contractions and was possibly going into premature labour.
The nervous couple rushed to a local hospital and even called their family to prepare them for the arrival of their little boy.
However, doctors reassured them that his symptoms were normal in the eighth month of pregnancy, especially as their baby is quite big, and they returned home to prepare for the big day.
In one cute video shared to the model’s social media account, Danna is seen kissing and caressing Esteban’s bulging belly while he smiles for the camera.
They also posted tender photos of them posing in the garden at home before announcing that their son will be called Ariel.
