She announced in May that she is expecting her second child with fiancé Laurence Van Leeuen.
And on Sunday, Romee Strijd rocked her blossoming tummy in a gray bodycon dress and tan boots as she was pampered by loved ones during her lavish baby shower at 5-star The Pulitzer in Amsterdam.
The Dutch model, 27 – who shares 22-month-old daughter Mint with her beau – held a chic gathering of her loved ones and shared glimpses of the fun on her Instagram stories.

Romee posed in her figure-hugging dress and matching long cardigan, and wrote her selfies “Big belly in the houseee” before going to her baby shower.
She styled her blonde locks into an effortless ponytail and enhanced her natural beauty with a soft smokey eye and glossy lips, while accessorizing with statement earrings.
The supermodel was surrounded by a group of girlfriends, all dressed in white for her pre-birth celebration.
Romee held the bash in an upscale setting, setting up cupcakes, cake pops, and fruit bowls, as well as avocado and peppers on crackerbread.

In an Instagram post announcing her pregnancy in May, Romee wrote: “Soon we will be a family of 4. I can not wait.’
When she announced her first pregnancy, the model spoke of motherhood as her “greatest dream” for fear of a “natural” conception surrounding her diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome.
‘WE WILL BE A FAMILY OF THREE SOON. Being a mother… is my biggest dream. I was so afraid I would never be able to because I was told it’s harder to have babies naturally.”

Romee explained that throughout her career she had been ‘pressured’ [her] body too much,” as she admitted she avoided the restrictive diet and moved to the Netherlands to be closer to her family.
She said: ‘I think my weight wasn’t good for my body to function properly and I couldn’t handle the constant travel.
“I started researching natural cures for PCOS and came to the conclusion that I needed to do much less intense exercise, put no restrictions on food, be kind to myself, and take breaks when needed.”
Healthy options: There was also avocado and bell pepper on crackerbread to nibble on?
Memories: The model took pictures at the women-only party
On Mint’s first birthday last December, Romme marked the “special” occasion on social media.
She said, ‘This year was so special. Our lives [sic] have completely changed, from always on the road and working non-stop to your mother and father in the Netherlands surrounded by family. You make us laugh every day (and tired every morning).’
The following month, the Alexander McQueen model revealed her engagement by writing “I said YES” on a photo from their vacation in Switzerland.
Excited: The couple confirmed in May they were expecting baby number two, two years after they welcomed their first child – 22-month-old daughter Mint – in 2020
