He's here! Candice Swanepoel welcomes baby boy Anacã with fiancé Hermann Nicoli as congratulations pour in
Candice Swanepoel gave birth to her son Anacã on Friday, E! News have confirmed.
The 27-year-old and her fiancé Hermann Nicoli's new baby boy is their first child.
Public congratulations have already begun to crop up, including from her friend, the photographer Jerome Duran, who posted a pregnant nude he had taken of her.
It's a boy: Candice Swanepoel and fiance Hermann Nicoli welcomed their first child on Friday - a boy they have named Anacã
His caption exalted the Victoria's Secret Angel as 'THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAMA' and effervesced: 'Welcome Anacã!!! Already sooo much LOVE for you and the new family!'
The photo saw the Mooi River native giving the camera her best smouldering stare. Her blonde hair cascaded over one breast, and a sparkle of light concealed the other nipple.
Swanepoel and the 34-year-old publicised their engagement last August. Her paramour and fellow model is from Brazil, where the pair are now principally based. By March, she had announced her pregnancy.
A sweet Instagram post showed her hand holding Nicoli's to her stomach. Her caption read: 'Agora e #barrigapositiva ! #babyangel,' which in Portuguese roughly means: 'Here's #bigbelly! #babyangel'.

In May, yet another Instagram post announced the sex. Her hair falling over her face, she posed topless, an arm covering her bust, her belly bulging. 'My Not so little boy,' she wrote in her caption.
In August, at a safari-themed baby shower thrown for her in Brazil, she revealed that she'd alighted on the name Anacã, a Brazilian word for a bird. The name was hung from the wall over a table strewn with desserts for the mother-to-be.
The intervening time has been speckled with Instagram updates on her pregnancy. In one photo taken four weeks past, she posed in nothing but underwear and a sheer white blouse she held open, exposing her enormous bump.
Another Instagram post, captioned: 'Aqua doce,' followed by the translation from Portuguese: 'sweet water,' showed her floating on her back, her stomach protruding from the surface of the water as she held her hands over her breasts.
