    i love how Laurens and Romee matured together. Moving in at 18 is a HUGE step but they made it work. I'm surprised they've been dating for so long. The fact they made sure they went home or see family monthly, I think they grew more grounded and genuine. It's easy to get mixed with all the glam so it's nice she made sure her family, education, and her emotional state was always her priority. I used to have this pretty superficial and judgmental view of models but this girl's really opening my mindset. plus I'm also from Belgium so I relate to her even more. I love that she has that mindset of separating looks from being who she is and youtube is a great way to show how dimensional she is.

      Cara why are you so full of hate or are you just immature? whatever the case is it all reflects badly on you. you don’t know EVERY. SINGLE. AMERICAN. WOMAN. & for you to use celebrities that do things on PURPOSE for fame & fortune as an example to speak on every single person is immature. not every single person is the same. just because the kardashains do what they do doesnt mean we all do that or act like that. also there is such a thing as compatibility with a person & some ppl get with their “first love” at a young age where they dont even know how to love themselves yet or let alone know how to love someone else. love isn’t one size fits all, love isn’t just found in one person. you’re either young, immature, or just delusional.

      Eileen Forester everyone has their own problems, everyone goes through different things, everyone perceives everything differently. Just cause you can‘t understand her way of feeling or you feel like it‘s just something small doesn‘t mean that she has to feel like that as well. If you don‘t go through the same thing, you won‘t be able to understand her, yes, but making it look like something „small“ or not taking it seriously is not okay.

      VS has a certain brand, not only are they catwalk models but also the faces of VS and the modelling world is tough. Many women and girls work really hard to get to be an angel and even harder to get their wings. It takes a certain person to be able to reach that status so VS isn't about to change all of a sudden, no matter what the media has to say.

    Don't no one on this platform talk any shit about Laurens. This guy is her life partner - not just her BF. They are going through life together - all of it. For this guy to make this decision to put Romee before himself and her dreams and happiness, safety, her safety. Her mental health and confidence. This is what love is. This dude literally put someone before himself. So it makes complete sense the dynamic of their relationship. Complete sense. Respect. fr.

Being in a different country, a teenager, separated from normal life, not entirely being able to speak the language, having to be self critical, not being able to show your emotions is very difficult. Yes she was a model but that doesnt change how mentally taxing it is, you can't compare people's situations because to Romee, its was still distressing and difficult for her. This is why famous people end up overdosing and becoming alcoholics, no one gets them, yes they're famous but it's most times very lonely, most people are fake and competitive.

You have all my respect, even though you are an idol and you are my influence, I do realize that you are human, and you also have your personal life and your a way different person from what “model Romee” is.

    Thanks for being so honest..it is refreshing to hear a model talking about their struggles of weight and loneliness..they always glamourize the lifestyle..and make you think they are perfect..and don't have struggles..we all can relate with you in this..thank you!

    I cried when you cried. This was one of the most open, genuine, honest and beautiful videos I’ve ever seen. Also, I wanted to give a shout-out to Laurens - he is a great person who definitely loves you a lot. And this is making my heart very happy! :) I wish you guys the best ❤️

    I cried multiple times in this video esp when she was about to cry & her talking about panic attacks but when she said Laurens gave up his job for her, I sobbed so hard. That's huge sacrifice. For both of them.
    I'm so glad you're in a better place now Romee. You are such an amazing person. Thank you for sharing. 💓

    Thank you so much for posting this. People think “oh she’s so beautiful and modeling is so easy and it’s a fun job” without realizing all the hard work and loneliness and traveling that goes into it. Being away from your family and missing out on “normal” things. There’s so much more to it!!!

    I think it is crazy how a 14 year old girl was modeling clothes that are targeted to much older people. 14 years old girls are not all grown up yet and I think this sells a weird image of those clothes... Like under full developed women are modeling clothes for woman that are 30 or much more... I know it´s the industry but I hope someone can understand how I feel about this :(

      I get what you're saying. Then again they are not only selling garments but an image, "buy this youthful thing, look at all these young people wearing them". And because teenagers are underdeveloped garments are easier to tailor to them, curves do not have to be taken into account.

      @@ConveyBeauty she definitely looked like a 14 year old with grown-up up clothes and make up on. That's desturbing. The who fast fashion industry is desturbing to be honest. I wouldn't want to put my own daughter in that industry. What is it that their underdeveloping brain will learn from being in that environment? But to each their own.

    ‘ I eat healthy for the way I feel, not the way I look’ this is so important.
    It’s sad that you didn’t get psychological support at the start of your career. I think this is necessary for young girls starting in this new world of modeling so they wouldn’t feel lonely. Especially because it’s hard to hear ‘no you’re not good enough’ at this age. It’s such a big step from being a ‘normal’ teenager to live alone on the other side of the world without any support.
    I’m happy you have everything figured out now and understand how everything works.

    Love how you remain true to yourself in every way. It's so hard when your heart and brain are not in full agreement ..you describe this to a T ! And don't worry, I believe a lot of women in general, go through this. It's a great inspiration for others to see how you followed your intuition, overcame your panic attacks, and grew into a self- respecting, empowered woman!

    This is beautiful. As somebody who watched my sister model, and wanted to model since I was 12, I’ve gone through the process of hating my body, undereating, overexercising, and overall just being unhealthy and unsustainable with my lifestyle choices. It genuinely puts such a strain on your mental health and body. It’s a beautiful thing to see somebody with such a big platform be so open about similar issues. Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤️❤️

    My biggest takeaway from this is Romee's resilience and Laurence's great love and support for her. Romme, you are so brave for pushing on despite it being tough. I cant imagine what it must be like to start out so young and to be alone for a lot of times. You showed tremendous grit and I'm glad to see that you're now reaping the rewards of your hard work. Congrats and I hope you have many more wonderful projects to come.
