On September 9, 2019, celebrity stylist Annabele Onyango and her husband Marek Fuchs welcomed their second child, a son named Rio Nile Andel.
According to Annabele, their son was born at 7:29 am, 35 weeks into her pregnancy, and was named after the River Nile, a nod to his Nilotic roots.
"Our second son was born yesterday at 7.29am; at only 35 weeks in utero he was clearly eager to join our little circus. He is named for the River Nile, a homage to his Nilotic roots. The Nile is the longest river in the world and our continent’s most enduring & powerful natural landmark," Annabele wrote on social media.
Annabele also shared that their son's name, Andel, means Angel or Messenger of God in Czech, and that they loved him even before they knew he existed.
"Anděl [Ahn-dyel] in Czech means Angel or Messenger of God, which our boy literally is. We loved him even before we knew he existed. THANK YOU ALL for the outpouring of love and good vibes you always show our (now perfectly complete!) family, sending it right back. Love A, M, K & R Xo," she added.
The couple got married in 2015 and welcomed their first child, Kenzo, in 2016. Friends and fans congratulated them on social media, with messages from Lilian Muli, Janet Mbugua, Alisha Popat, Patricia Kihoro, and Vaishali Morjaria.
