Four hands and many hearts: Lena Gercke expressed her joy at her own offspring with an Instagram post. The model posted a black and white picture of four differently sized hands on Tuesday night and greeted "Baby Lia" in the accompanying message. She was overjoyed with her family, wrote the 34-year-old and put several heart emojis behind it.

"Here she is. Welcome to our little girl squad," wrote Lena Gercke on Instagram.

Congratulations came from singer Lena Meyer-Landrut, moderator Riccardo Simonetti and the Instagram account of Gercke's fashion brand LeGer.

Lena Gercke and her partner Dustin Schöne became parents for the first time in the summer of 2020 – that's when their daughter Zoe was born. Gercke won the first season of Heidi Klum's casting show "Germany's Next Top Model" in 2006, later she moderated the casting show "The Voice of Germany".

In the past few months, she has repeatedly shared photos of herself with a baby bump. This also led to fan speculation. Some of them congratulated the model on Instagram back in November, assuming baby #2 was already born.
