Steinfort told 9honey the family is looking forward to a low-key Christmas as they adjust to life as a family of four.
"For Christmas we are just keeping it local and lapping up the new baby bubble for as long as we can," he said.?
The family recently returned from a family holiday to France, where Claudia's baby bump was clearly visible, prompting speculation from Steinfort's followers.
"Is that baby number two?" one asked on a post featuring a series of photos, including one of the couple standing in front of the Eiffel Tower.
?Steinfort is expected to take three months of paternity leave following the birth of his second child, as he did in 2021 following the birth of Frederikke.
At the end of his leave that year, Steinfort shared a post on Instagram.
"Three months paternity leave done in what felt like three minutes!" he wrote.
"I'm very lucky to have an employer with such a supportive program for new mums and dadsกญthey didn't ask me to talk them up, I'm just grateful to have been there for my daughter's first steps, first birthday, first Santa photo, first swim lessons, and about 374 more trips to the beach together."?
