Supermodel Candice Swanepoel has given birth to first child this week with her fiancé Hermann Nicoli! A friend of the family has shared with “HELLO!” magazine that they’ve named him Anacã. The name is the Brazillian word for “bird.”

The exciting news was revealed on social media, by Candice’s friend, photographer Jerome Duran. He shared a snap of Candace with her arms wrapped around her baby bump, adding the caption: “THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAMA. Congratulations!! @angelcandices @hermannicoli, Welcome Anacã.!!! Already sooo much LOVE for you and the new family!”

Fans were quick to follow with congratulatory comments for the new parents.

The Victoria‘s Secret model has been keeping us up to date with her pregnancy by sharing pictures over her social media since she announced the news back in May that she was expecting a boy.

Candice and Hermann first meet in Paris when the supermodel was just 17. They have been dating now for 10 years now and became engaged in March.

Candice is good friends with fellow supermodel Behati Prinsloo, who gave birth to a baby girl, Dusty Rose with husband Adam Levine last month. The best friends have supported one another through their pregnancies, and according to “E! News”: “Candice and Behati are best friends and they are not far apart from each other in pregnancy due dates. They both have been experiencing the first stages of being pregnant together and are happy to have each other who understand.”
