“I made my own present this year and I just can’t stop looking at him, we feel incredibly grateful to be bringing a baby home this Christmas.”
Style Academy model Genevieve currently works as a photographer and graphic designer for the European Space Agency Test Centre in the coastal Dutch town of Noordwijk, while her husband is a successful restaurateur.
The happy couple tied the knot in a fairytale wedding in May 2022. They are now embracing life as parents to their little boy Hendrick.

Recalling their special Christmas, she said: “Remco and I woke up on Christmas morning in the hospital and celebrated with champagne.
“Remco’s family came to meet Hendrick and we exchanged some gifts.
“Then, on Boxing Day, we enjoyed Christmas dinner at home with the three of us and a small present awaited the newest member of our family under the tree.

“It’s been a magical week between Christmas and New Year of chocolate for breakfast, Christmas sandwiches, morning movies and playing with my new doll I got for Christmas.
“Everyone is delighted for us! I am in wonder of how much joy and festive cheer this one little soul can already bring.”
The Groenevelds are planning a visit back home to Northern Ireland in the springtime and can’t wait to introduce little Hendrick to his Banbridge family and friends.
