Rolene Strauss, the former Miss World and Miss South Africa, recently celebrated the birth of her third son. She expressed joy and gratitude, stating that both she and her newborn are in good health and spirits.
Strauss, who has been candid about her life experiences, previously disclosed her challenging encounter with HIV exposure. This occurred during her medical training in 2017, following the birth of her first child, when she was accidentally exposed to the virus while providing patient care. Despite the initial shock and concern, Strauss underwent post-exposure prophylaxis and has since used her platform to advocate for HIV awareness and prevention.
The beauty queen’s journey to motherhood has been a public one, with her sharing insights into her pregnancy. Although she anticipated a May delivery, her son arrived just two days into June.
Strauss’s personal milestones extend beyond her public titles; she and her spouse, D’Niel, have been together since her Miss World crowning in 2014. They solidified their union with a wedding in February 2016, held at the scenic Laurent Wedding Venue in the Western Cape. Reflecting on her marriage journey, Strauss shared unseen photographs from her wedding on social media in 2020, marking their fourth anniversary.
As she embraces this new chapter of family life with her husband and three sons, Strauss continues to inspire many with her resilience and openness.
