Oh, baby!

Italian model Raffaella Fico stunned at Milan Fashion Week Saturday as she strutted down the runway while six month pregnant.

The glowing 24-year-old flaunted her baby bump in a series of skimpy two-pieces for the Pin-Up Stars swimwear line, an Italian brand helmed by designer Jerry Tommolini.

Though the mom-to-be looked at ease on the catwalk, her pregnancy has been marked by controversy.

Her ex-boyfriend, Italian footballer Mario Balotelli, publically demanded in July that she get a paternity test before he assumes "all responsibilities" for the baby.

Raffaella Fico is six months pregnant.

Balotelli blasted Fico in a press release for waiting to tell him that she was pregnant until she was four months along, according to Goal.com.

"I am very disappointed. I do not think it's normal not to know anything until the fourth month [of the pregnancy]," the 21-year-old said.

"Also, it annoys me to see that she has already sought to make money from this story by selling photos and interviews."

Though the mom-to-be looked at ease on the catwalk, her pregnancy has marked by controversy.

Fico fired back in a letter in Italy's Chi Magazine, saying she was "deeply hurt" by the footballer's accusations.

"This child I desire with all my heart and I want it because it is not a child that arrived by chance but instead it is the fruit of love between two people and you know well what I am talking about," she wrote, according to The Mirror.

The couple ended their one-year relationship in April.
