PICS: Former Miss SA and Miss World Rolene Strauss glows as she announces third pregnancy

Rolene and her husband D’Niel Strauss were married on 6 February 2016, and already have two sons together.


Former beauty queen, Rolene Straus and husband D’Niel, took to Instagram on Thursday morning to share special news with Rolene’s followers – that the couple is expecting a baby.

Sharing a selfie of her posing in front of the bathroom mirror, showing off a distinct baby bump, Rolene was excited she was to be growing a little human.

She also shared that, as many South African families do, they had to decide whether they would raise their family in South Africa, or move abroad.

“How incredibly fortunate to be parents and raise our children in this beautiful country of ours?

“D’Niel 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,” she wrote.

Rolene and D’Niel Strauss’ love story

Rolene and D’Niel got engaged in December 2014 after she was crowned Miss World London in the same year. The couple said their ‘I do’s’ on 6 February 2016 at the Laurent Wedding Venue in Somerset West.

The couple have two sons, a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old.

The 31-year-old recently hosted the Billionaire Mindset Seminar with her husband at Lanzerac Wine Estate in Stellenbosch.

Posting three pictures of herself, looking radiant in pink and cradling her baby bump, Rolene said that hosting the seminar with her husband while staying at the wine estate is one of her favourite things to do.
