The supermodel, 31, fittingly chose to announce the news on Mother’s Day in the Australia and USA on Instagram.
Uploading a series of stunning photos showing off her blossoming baby bump, Shaik - who is of Saudi, Pakistani, Lithuanian and Australian descent - dedicated the post to “the new love of my life”.
In a length caption, she wrote: “Thank you for choosing me to be your Mum. I have always wanted you for as long as I can remember, and at times my patience was tested,” the Victoria’s Secret model wrote.
“The timing had to be right, and I can say with confidence that I am ready to be your guide, your protector and your best friend...
“As each month goes by during this precious journey of pregnancy, I am learning what the role of being a mother entails.”
She went on to speak about her concerns as the pregnancy progresses along with her hopes for the future of her unborn child.
Shaik said: “I worry a lot, especially about your well being and development. It’s a feeling that I’ve never experienced before, not even about myself. I would do anything for you, be anything for you and sacrifice anything for you.
“I was raised by an amazing woman who taught me so much about Motherhood. She has set the bar high, and I don’t want to disappoint you.
“I want to raise you as she raised me; to be kind, caring, thoughtful and to be the best version of yourself. I want to guide you to dream big and work hard, to live your life with passion and to reach your goals, no matter what they are.
“I want you to know that no matter what life throws at you, you can count on me to be there for you.
“You will be supported and loved through every moment in your life, just as I have been.
“Sharing you with the world today is the most precious gift I could possibly receive on Mother’s Day.”
Shaik first confirmed her relationship with record label executive Adesuyan on Valentine’s Day 2021.
She was previously married to DJ Ruckus from 2018 to 2019.
Alluding to the news in a post of his own, Adesuyan shared a black and white shot of him with his arms around Shaik but her bump is not visible in the picture.
“Different kinda blessing, happy mothers day,” he wrote alongside it, followed by an angel baby emoji.
Speaking about becoming a mum to People magazine, Shaik shared she’s in her “second trimester” and she is expecting a “fall baby”.
