The MAFS alum has been spotted donning high heels (not to mention a baguette!) while stepping out in Bondi, Sydney โ€“ her burgeoning bump on display.

Soon after, the 42-year-old received backlash for a recent pregnancy photoshoot โ€“ with trolls claiming the photo was heavily retouched.

Julesโ€™ photographer, Deanna Gaynor, was quick to jump to her clientโ€™s defence โ€“ explaining she did not photoshop Julesโ€™ skin.

โ€œItโ€™s disheartening to see that pregnant women would be trolled and bullied for capturing their beautiful journey,โ€ Deanna wrote on Instagram.

โ€œBeing unsupportive and cruel doesnโ€™t just hurt them; it reveals a lot about you.โ€

She continued: โ€œI wonโ€™t accept her being bullied for this image, itโ€™s simply disgraceful.โ€

Jules thanked Deanna in the comments, writing: โ€œWhat can I sayโ€ฆ.. Youโ€™re that goodโ€ฆ. They think Iโ€™m airbrushed ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚. Thank you for having my back and standing up.โ€

It was a sentiment shared by fellow MAFS star Lauren Dunn, who penned: โ€œGood on you for calling it out.

โ€œTrolling only comes from a please of deep insecurity and jealousy. Doesnโ€™t excuse it, but at least you know youโ€™re doing something right!

โ€œWomen trolling women (specially pregnant women) is such a stain on our sisterhood.โ€

This shoot comes a month after Jules was surprised with a baby shower while on a getaway.

Sharing a slew of photos of the special occasion to Instagram, the MAFS alum wrote: โ€œWhen your weekend away turns into the most fun and beautiful baby shower.

โ€œI had such a wonderful time! Laughed till I cried and felt so special and spoilt! Ate the best food ! They all drank the best wine ๐Ÿ˜‚ we all got massaged! And played ridiculous funny games ! Thank you friends!

โ€œNowadays itโ€™s take a momentous moment to get everyone together like thisโ€ฆ I say thatโ€™s the icing on my sage cake to this baby ๐Ÿฅฐ.โ€

โ€œWho knows? I think if thereโ€™s a will, thereโ€™s a way,โ€ she said.

The mother-of-one has been very open during her pregnancy journey. In March, she posted a slew of candid pregnancy photos to Instagram.

While the first images were professional glam shots, with Jules holding her baby bump, the carousel ended with two no-makeup paparazzi shots.

Jules shared both sets of photos in an attempt to show that pregnancy โ€œainโ€™t all glamourโ€.

โ€œThis is me, that is me, and that is also me,โ€ she wrote in the caption.

โ€œSome days I feel beautiful and marvel at my body and all that itโ€™s doing, Iโ€™m firing on all cylinders and being productive, and some days I feel like I just want to do nothing, nest, rest and probably cry about something.. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ.โ€

Jules explained that while at times she โ€œhonours those feelingsโ€ and takes a step back, other days she seeks distractions.
