Molly Martens is preparing for a new chapter as a mother, 11 years after she killed Irish father Jason Corbett.
Jason was beaten to death with a baseball bat and a concrete brick at the home he shared with Molly and his two children in North Carolina in 2015.
It is understood that Molly, who was released from prison in June 2024, is now around six months pregnant after finding love again with her new partner, Josh Parrott.
Photos of Molly taken in her hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee, show her walking with one hand on her growing bump.
She is wearing a light blue, loose-fitting dress and carrying a number of items, with the Daily Mail reporting that she now works at an interior design firm.
According to the publication, Molly, who is reportedly living with her new partner, announced her pregnancy on social media by asking friends for advice on how to read her 20-week scan.
She is also understood to have started preparing for the baby, which is thought to be due in November, by upgrading her car to an SUV.

Molly’s pregnancy comes one year after the Netflix documentary "A Deadly American Marriage" was released.
The show repeated the prosecution's claims that Jason was killed because he planned to move home to Ireland with his children. It was claimed that Molly wanted to adopt the children.
Molly met Jason when she was hired to be a nanny to his children, who were then very young. They went on to move to the US and marry.
During her trial, the prosecution claimed that Molly was trying to have a child with Jason and that the couple spent around $25,000 on fertility treatments.
Molly and her father Thomas were convicted of second-degree murder in 2017 and sentenced to 20 to 25 years; however, their convictions were overturned on appeal in 2021.
In October 2023, they accepted a plea deal for voluntary manslaughter and were sentenced to four years and three months.
Molly has been keeping a relatively low profile since her release from jail in 2024.
