Romee’s fans know this handsome grey-eyed man, which appears by her side in her YouTube videos. That’s her husband Laurence van Leeuwen.
Romee was a teen girl when she got acquainted with Laurence van Leeuwen in her hometown. They started dating even though Lawrence was 5 years older than her. By the way, Romee’s beloved man comes from a big Holland family. His father, Bert van Leeuwen, was a celebrity. He hosted a popular TV show “Family Dinner”. Lawrence was raised with two sisters, Carlijn and Pauline, and a brother Boris.
Romee and Laurens’s relationships had been lasting for 8 years before they finally decided to legalize them. They wedded in October 2018, but that was not a luxurious romantic ceremony, as you can imagine. The young people have just exchanged their vows.
The model’s fans became happy for her because she has made a great choice! Laurence is not just an interesting easy-going person, but also a hard-working business consultant. Besides, he helps Romee to manage her career as a model and develops his fashion line “NAETUR”. In December 2020, Romee and Laurence became first-time parents.

Date of birth: December 4, 2020
Romee and Laurence overcame lots of difficulties on their way to parenthood. Romee wanted to get pregnant immediately after the wedding, but she couldn’t. It turned out, a successful career cost a pretty penny for the woman. Her diets, hard workouts, and constant change of time zones caused severe health issues – she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. Romee lost her hope to become a mother, but one day she received a great gift from fate – she got pregnant. That happened after Romee had changed her daily routine – she refused a strict diet, rested a lot, and thus defeated her health disorder.
Nowadays, lovely Mint van Leeuwen is a constant participant of her mother’s and father’s Instagram accounts.
