Princess Iman of Jordan is pregnant with her first child.
The royal's mother, Queen Rania, 54, took to Instagram on Friday, where she shared an adorable picture of the Iman with her husband Jameel Thermiotis together at sunset, with Iman proudly showing off the silhouette of her small bump.
Princess Iman, 28, who is the second daughter of Queen Rania and King Abdullah of Jordan, stood looking affectionately into the eyes of her husband, Jameel Thermiotis, 29, as the sun set over the stunning Jordanian beach.
Iman's mother posted the photo alongside a heartfelt caption: 'Both are dear to my heart, but the coming one is more precious ..... May God end well. Two is a couple, three is a blessing.'
Iman's husband, Jameel, was born in Caracas, Venezuela to a Greek family. He currently works as a Managing Partner for a Venture Capital fund in the US, where the two reportedly first met.
The news of their pregnancy comes just shy of two years since the pair tied the knot in March 2023.
At the the time of their engagement in July 2022, the queen, shared an affection post sharing her her affections for her soon-to-be-son-in-law.
She wrote on Instagram at the time: 'Congratulations my dearest Iman; your smile has always been a gift of love that I’ve cherished since the day you were born. I wish you and Jameel a life filled with love and laughter!'

When Jameel proposed, he presented his bride-to-be with a magnificent emerald-cut diamond.
In 2023, the young couple enjoyed a fairytale nuptial at the Beit Al Urdun Palace in the Jordanian capital of Amman - once known for being the spot where Prince William and Crown Prince Hussein watched football together.
The stunning bride wowed spectators in a bespoke Dior gown and her mother's diamond tiara.
The news comes just months after Princess Iman's niece was born. Last summer, Iman's older brother, Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan, had a baby girl who he named Iman after his sister.
In August last year, Princess Rajwa, the wife of Prince Hussein, who is the eldest of the Jordanian royal's children, announced that they had their first child.
However, according to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Iman is not in line to the throne and neither may her baby be.
The throne will be passed down through King Abdullah Ibn Al-Hussein's dynasty, following a hereditary line of male heirs.
Article 28 of the constitution of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan reads: 'The Royal title shall pass from the holder of the Throne to his eldest son, then to the eldest son of that eldest son, and in linear succession in a similar process thereafter. Should the eldest son die before the Throne devolves upon him, his eldest son shall inherit the Throne, even if the deceased has brothers. The King may, however, select one of his brothers as heir apparent. In this event, the title to the Throne shall pass to him from the holder of the Throne.'

Even if Hussein has no sons, the constitution would dictate that his younger brother Prince Hashem take over as king.
Following the birth of Hussein's daughter, the royal Hashemite court released a brief statement saying that the baby was named Iman, after his younger sister.
In a video posted on Rajwa's official Instagram page, Hussein was cradling his newborn daughter to the soundtrack of You Are My Sunshine.
Sweet photos also show the new parents cuddling their newborn, with Iman meeting her grandparents and aunt for the first time too at the King Hussein Medical Centre hospital, in Amman, Jordan.
The birth of Princess Iman came about a year after Hussein and Rajwa's extravagant wedding, which drew a star-studded guest list including the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Rajwa, 30, was born in Riyadh to a prominent and wealthy Saudi Arabian family distantly related to the country's current ruler, King Salman.
Hussein, also 30, was named crown prince in 2004, at the age of 15, after Abdullah stripped his own half-brother, Prince Hamzah, of the title.
The prince is the eldest son of Abdallah II, 62, who has ruled Jordan as a reliable western ally and voice of moderation through more than two decades of turmoil in Israel, the Palestinian territories, Syria and Iraq, all of which border the small, resource-poor kingdom.

According to Jordanian law, only males can inherit the Hashemite throne.
'The royal Hashemite court extends its sincere congratulations and best wishes to their royal highnesses and to their majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah on this happy occasion,' the statement read.
In June last year, the Queen of Jordan, 53, shared a gushing post to her 10 million followers to mark her son turning 30, showing Hussein and Rajwa beaming in formal attire.Rajwa, 30, was glowing in an off-white dress with the fitted silhouette revealing her blossoming baby bump; she added lavish accessories to the outfit - including a diamond bracelet.
