Former Victoria’s Secret model Romee Strijd announced in May that she was growing her family. Today, Romee announced the arrival of her second child with her partner, Laurens van Leeuwen!
Romee and Laurens have welcomed a baby girl! The couple’s daughter arrived on November 11th and they chose to name her June van Leeuwen. The model shared a selection of images of June with her parents and meeting her sister. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mint, in December 2020. At the time, Romee revealed she had been struggling with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and, after making some major lifestyle changes, was able to conceive her first child.
Fellow Victoria’s Secret models congratulated Romee on June’s arrival in the comments of her announcement post. Martha Hunt wrote, “Congratulations!! 😍😍 Welcome June!” Shanina Shaik, who recently welcomed her first child, commented, “Welcome to the world june !!! ❤️❤️❤️ congratulations my love.” Gizele Oliveira and Sara Sampaio were among other models to congratulate Romee.
Romee and Laurens have been together since January 2010 and officially got engaged in January of this year on a vacation in Switzerland. Reportedly, the couple has had their marriage license since 2018 though they have never had a formal wedding ceremony.
