In fact, this news is the happiest for the couple, as 2 years ago Romee was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), after having a lack of menstruation for 7 years.

"I was devastated because becoming a mother and starting a family with Laurens was my biggest dream. I was afraid that I would not be able to do it, because I was told that it was difficult to get pregnant naturally ", - the model confessed.

"I've never been very stressed, so I didn't understand why this was happening to me. But I traveled all the time, exercised every day, and ate selected foods. I think my body has been under a lot of pressure and I don't think my weight has had a positive effect on my body and it has not been able to withstand the constant travels. �

After being diagnosed with PCOS, Romee showed that she began to pay more attention to her body and her health, changing her lifestyle.

"I want to tell all the women who are trying to become mothers, believe in yourself, be kind to yourself and your body, and don't let bad thoughts affect you," the model wrote.

Romee and Laurens, 24 and 29, have been together for 10 years. Finally, they are realizing the dream of starting a family together.
