She has seemed to delight in showing off her growing tummy on social media ahead of the birth of her first child.
And Romee Strijd looked like a proud mother to be on Saturday as she showcased her burgeoning baby bump on her Instagram Stories.
The 25-year-old Victoria’s Secret Angel got some moral support from her husband Laurens Van Leeuwen, 29, who pulled up his own shirt to show off his belly.

Romee was clad in nothing but a simple black bra and matching black panties as she posed in front of a mirror with Laurens.
The Dutch model wore her blonde tresses up in a high bun and wore small gold hoop earrings.
Laurens stood next to her and pulled up his gray shirt to show off his own stomach, which he seemed to puff out a bit.
He gave himself a quick pat while remaining stonefaced, which elicited a laugh from his wife.

Later, he proved himself to be a dutiful husband by cutting up thin slices of ginger to make Romee a ginger tea.
‘Do you want some ginger tea?’ she captioned the video, which showed her look on approvingly from the side of the kitchen.

Last week, Romee shared photos of herself enjoying some sunshine at a beach in the Netherlands with her fellow Angel Taylor Hill and other friends.
Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, neither she nor anyone in the photos appeared to be wearing masks to slow the spread of the virus.
Unlike in many other nations, Dutch public health officials have resisted calls to mandate or even recommend non-medical mask use, aside from on public transit, where they’re required.

Romee first announced she was expecting her first child with her husband Laurens in May, and revealed they were expecting a baby girl in June.

‘We can’t wait to meet our little girl,’ captioned the catwalk star, adding a heart emoji for good measure.
Romee and Laurens, whose father is a famous TV presenter in the Netherlands, eloped in October 2018 after dating since 2010.

The model revealed last month that she was expecting her first child, following a year’s long struggle with polycistic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) that kept her from having periods for years.
Romee wrote that ‘2 years ago I got diagnosed with PCOS after not getting my period for 7 years. I was devastated because being a mom and starting a family with @laurensvleeuwen is my biggest dream..
‘I was so scared that I would never be able to because I got told it was harder to get babies in a natural way.. I started to research PCOS and came to the conclusion that mine was not the typical pcos,’ she added.
The model revealed: ‘Mine was because of my body being in fight or flight mode.. which means my body was under constant stress. I never felt mentally super stressed so it was hard te understand this, but my life consisted of travelling all the time (no biorhythm), working out every day, eating super clean (restricting foods).’
Her solution was to give up the high-intensity training she had been doing and not to restrict her food choice, as well as being ‘nice to myself’ and taking breaks whenever she needs them.
