The pair, who tied the knot earlier this year, took to Instagram to announce the birth, describing Suze as "our most beautiful year-end joy" along with heartwarming photos.
The couple first announced they were expecting back in June, just four months after their wedding, which took place under the stunning backdrop of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Regi, known for his career as a DJ, and Kristel have become public figures not only for their professional achievements but also for their personal milestones, culminating with the birth of Suze.
This is not the first child for either Regi or Kristel; each has daughters from previous relationships. Regi shares two daughters—Ellie Martha and Renée—with his ex-wife, Elke Vanelderen. Kristel has another daughter named Julia from her past relationship.

The affectionate caption used by Regi, which translates to his proud declaration about Suze being their little joy, showcases the family’s excitement for their new addition.
The couple’s love story had its genesis 17 years ago, when they first met at one of Regi’s performances. Though they did not pursue romance immediately, fate brought them back together two years ago, kindling feelings they each acknowledged had always been there. Their union was solidified with both civil and celebratory weddings this year, showcasing their commitment not just to each other but also to their growing family.
