Rowland bared it all and poses nude, braless and in a formal gown for the photo spread, which was shot by actor/photographer Lance Gross. She’s featured in the mag weeks before delivering her first son.
“I can?t wait until he gets here.
“I just have a couple more weeks. I?m excited to bring a child into the world, and sharing that experience with my husband is probably the most beautiful part.?
As for shedding her inhibitions and appearing pregnant and nude, Rowland says:
It?s Godmazing!
Watching your body carry a human. I took a birthing class and I was amazed by all the things this woman was saying to me about birthing and what the body does naturally. Why wouldn?t you want to celebrate that? The body should be celebrated.

Kelly On shooting with Lance Gross:
I had a chance to work with Lance Gross during a video shoot for the [“Here I Am”] album, and I remember looking at his Instagram page, and seeing all these crazy hot photos. I texted him, and he said he’s really been into [photography].
So we had been planning for a year to shoot and of course, I got pregnant and thought I’ll have Lance shoot the photos for my pregnancy. Lance and I had all these great ideas and we just put our heads together to execute the looks. It was a lot of fun.
I think ‘What makes me different? I can definitely do it.’ And this is something I’ve wanted. I’ve been talking about babies since last year.
I believe I spoke it into existence during a conversation with my friend, and I feel like I became pregnant overnight! And she said all we need is a community of strong people around us, and we rely on each other and our families.
