SNAPS | Rolene Strauss announces the arrival of their bundle of joy

Rolene Strauss and her husband have announced the arrival of their baby boy.

Taking to her timeline on Monday, the former Miss South Africa and Miss World shared images of her and her newborn baby with their family in hospital.

"Our dearest love arrived yesterday [Sunday] afternoon at 5.30pm at 40 weeks and four days weighing 4.14kg. Daniel and my mom never left my side. The boys drew hearts on my forearms before we left for the hospital - this kept me going through labour. They adore their baby brother. We are both healthy, happy and healing. All praise to God. Grateful for wonderful nurses and doctors, and my prayer warriors who never stopped praying."

Rolene announced her pregnancy in October 2023 , saying she was due to give birth in May this year. 

Speaking of her growing family, Rolene said while the option to leave the country was there she and her husband had decided to continue raising their little ones in Mzansi. 

“How incredibly fortunate to be parents and raise our children in this beautiful country of ours. Daniel and I had to sit down and make a decision that multiple families face at some point, are we leaving or are we staying?

"After prayer, discussions and consideration, we decided to stay and raise our children in South Africa. But we also made a pact. We choose not to complain, and choose to be part of the solution. We love this country and consider ourselves blessed to call it home.”
