Strijd announced in May to be pregnant of her first child. That was not without a struggle, she admitted at the time. The model suffers from PCOS, a diagnosis she received two years ago after not having menstruated for over seven years. The news from the doctors arrived like a sledgehammer, especially because the blonde had a strong desire to have children with her boyfriend Laurens. The fear that she would never be able to have children increased with the diagnosis.
The 25-year-old Strijd decided to do more research into PCOS and came to the conclusion that she did not have ‘the typical variant’. Due to her busy life as a model for Victoria’s Secret, many travels and her strict eating habits, her body experienced a lot of stress. Strijd changed her life by exercising less intensively, eating what she likes more often and listening to her body when she needed to rest. When she also went to live in the Netherlands, she got much more peace in her life. And all the adjustments in her life turned out to be paying off: she got her periods back.

It is clear that the blonde and her husband are overjoyed with their little girl. “I feel so blessed to finally have you in my arms. We are so in love with you, ‘said Romee in a photo of her breastfeeding Mint.
The top model and her husband can count on thousands of congratulations. Grandpa Bert van Leeuwen is also delighted with the arrival of his grandchild and responds with hearts under the snapshot.
