Strijd has given birth to a baby girl, her first child with boyfriend Laurens van Leeuwen.
Along with posting a pic of herself breastfeeding her bundle of joy, Romee wrote on Instagram, “Mint van Leeuwen ~ feeling so blessed to finally hold you in my arms. We are so in love with you!!"
Strijd announced her pregnancy in May. At the time, she shared, “I’m so happy and grateful to say that I got my period back last november AND that WE’RE SOON A FAMILY OF THREE ❤ ❤❤❤ & to the women trying to conceive, believe in yourself and be nice for yourself and your body.”
Romee also opened up about her struggles with polycystic ovary syndrome, which can cause infrequent periods and infertility. She said, “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..”

After much research, she determined that her PCOS was the result of too much stress on her body. She revealed, “I started to research natural healing for PCOS and came to the conclusion that I should do way less high intensity training, don’t restrict foods, be nice to myself, and take breaks when needed. I also tried some natural supplements, acupuncture and we got a place back in the Netherlands as well, so we could spend more time with Family (since im such a family person).”
Since the big announcement, Strijd has documented her pregnancy on social media.
Last week, Romee posted a video of her pregnancy workout. She wrote, “Mondays be like..”
