Mertens and Kerkhofs have been a couple since their teenage years, the couple got married in 2015. A few years ago, the two seemed to be heading for a break, but the relationship lasted and their love is now sealed with their first child. The delivery is scheduled for March.
At the beginning of this year, Kerkhofs spoke openly about her desire to have children in an interview with The newspapaer: “Shouldn’t we start it after all?” “I’m starting to get to an age where you’re confronted with your own biological end, to put it bluntly. (laughs) Now when I go to a doctor, he says: If you want kids, you have to start. While it used to be: you have all the time. That does make me think. But I don’t have an answer yet.”
That answer has now come. In a social media announcement video, the lovebirds show how they tell their friends and family the good news. With a message on a bottle of wine, they get one surprised reaction after another. And whether the joy is great.
