Candice Swanepoel has shared a photo of her first child after giving birth on Wednesday.

The Victoria’s Secret model, 27, posted a photo of son Anaca sleeping peacefully to Instagram on Saturday, a faint smile on his face. She captioned it “Life is sweet”.

It’s clear Anaca, whose name means ‘sweetness of face’ in African dialect Hausa and is also a type of bird in Brazil, has inherited his mum’s good looks.

Candice and fiance Hermann Nicoli have been together for 10 years, and announced they were expecting in March. Congratulations to the new family.
