During their candid chat, Serena, who shares daughter Alexis Olympia with her husband Alexis Ohanian, revealed that she "loved being pregnant".
To which Meghan, who is a mother of two to Archie and Lilibet, then replied, “I know, you loved it,” before raving about Serena’s pregnancy style and how she accessorized her baby bump with trendy body chains.
Meghan added, "You made pregnancy look so sexy," before saying, "I just waddled around, I was just tired. I was so tired."
