Juliana Custodio is going to be a mom!
“So excited for our new adventure,” she wrotealongside several photosof the couple. “Words aren’t enough to tell you how wonderful you are, I’m forever grateful for the happiness and joy you have brought into my life, and for make [sic] one of my biggest dream come true🤱🏻, we can’t wait to meet you.”
She continued, “I am the luckiest woman to be able to call you mine @ben_obscura ✨❤️.”
Custodio’s news comes just over a month after she split from her ex-husband, Michael Jessen, on the former couple’s two-year wedding anniversary.
“Today is only our second wedding anniversary and, sadly, our last,” Jessenwrote alongside a photofrom the couple’s wedding. “Our marriage is a Covid-19 casualty that will not be showing up in any statistics. Thankfully, you are quickly emerging healthier and stronger than ever. Some of the rest of us will likely be staying in intensive care for quite some time.”
Jessen added that the couple’s “situation” throughout the pandemic had “completely drained” him.
“I did not maintain the strength of mind and the fortitude to be the husband that you wanted me to be,” he wrote. “The stress and the pressure of providing for everyone got the better of me and I did not take care of myself.”

Custodio wrote that her situation had become “toxic” and she decided she needed to return to Europe and her career as a model. “I am happy with the new phase, and I ask you to let me go,” she wrote.
