Eventually, her new agent pitched her for London Fashion Week, where she modeled for Burberry, before moving on to the exclusive Prada show at Milan Fashion Week.
From there, Romee hasn’t looked back, steadily gaining in popularity and appeal, now with 7.9 million followers on Instagram.

Romee welcomed her second child with fiancé Laurens van Leeuwen on November 11 last year.
The couple also have a daughter Mint, who they welcomed in December 2020.
The supermodel gave birth to Mint after a years-long struggle with polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS.
‘WE’RE HAVING A BABY ?,’ she wrote when she announced her first pregnancy. ‘2 years ago I got diagnosed with PCOS after not getting my period for 7 years. I was devastated because being a mom and starting a family with @laurensvleeuwen is my biggest dream.. I was so scared that I would never be able to because I got told it was harder to get babies in a natural way.’

PCOS is a hormonal disorder, in which a woman’s ovaries may develop small collections of fluid and fail to regularly release eggs, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
‘I think my weight was not good for my body to function properly and couldn’t handle the constant traveling,’ she previous said of her condition.
‘I started to research natural healing for PCOS and came to the conclusion that I should do way less high intensity training, don’t restrict foods, be nice to myself, and take breaks when needed.’
