Amber Le Bon Is Expecting Her First Le Baby

Amber Le Bon’s Joyful Baby News: First-Time Mom on the Way!

The Le Bon legacy is about to get a little bigger! Model and first daughter Amber Le Bon, daughter of Duran Duran’s frontman Simon Le Bon and supermodel Yasmin Le Bon, just dropped some major news—she’s expecting her first child. At 35, Amber took to Instagram to make the announcement.

In a series of photos, Amber stunned in an all-black dress, but it was her caption that had fans swiping. “Swipe to the end for a big surprise,” she teased—and boy, did she deliver! The final photos showed Amber lovingly cradling her baby bump, absolutely glowing with joy. She captioned the shot, “My favorite look while on the @duranduran tour. Someone coming soon…”

Though Amber hasn’t officially confirmed the identity of the father, romance rumors have been swirling. Amber went public with her relationship with writer Ben Mercer in August, and it looks like the two have been enjoying plenty of romantic getaways together. Ben, a former professional rugby player turned author, has made a name for himself with his best-selling books and a strong social media following. His debut book even hit No. 1 on Amazon and was nominated for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2020. Ben’s work often focuses on life after the limelight—ironic, given the exciting new chapter he and Amber are embarking on. His latest book, Superstrengths, is all about helping people stand out in a world full of options—a fitting read for someone navigating life as a dad-to-be!

As for Amber, she’s no stranger to the spotlight herself. The eldest of the Le Bon clan, she’s graced the runways and DJ booths around the world, from the Victoria’s Secret Show to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. With a modeling career that includes features in Vogue, Tatler, and campaigns for brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Moschino, Amber has carved out her own path while embracing her family’s iconic status.

Her parents, Simon and Yasmin, have been married for a whirlwind 38 years, have always been the epitome of rock-and-roll romance. Simon famously tracked Yasmin down through her modeling agency after seeing her in a magazine, and the rest is history. Together, they’ve raised three daughters—Amber, Saffron, and Talullah—each one following in their own creative footsteps. Amber’s sister Saffron, the middle child, has her own two boys—Taro and Skye—making Amber an auntie long before this baby news. Meanwhile, their youngest sibling, Talullah, has dabbled in modeling but works behind the scenes as a booker at Models 1.

Congratulations, Amber! We can’t wait to meet the newest edition to the Le Bon dynasty.
