Dirk Kuyt is entering this week Weekend for the first time a reaction to the rumors that he cheated on his marriage to Geertrude. The 40-year-old former football player denies those allegations through his manager. The magazine also shows the first photos of Kuyt together with Kate Ruinemans, the 29-year-old new girlfriend of the Ziggo Sport analyst.

The leaf Privately announced in February that Geertrude, who divorced Kuyt last summer, had painfully found out that her ex-husband was cheating on them during their marriage. “Gertrude didn’t realize that yet, even though bills for parking tickets, restaurants and fines were coming in: all from the same area, in Amsterdam-South,” said Privately. “In December, the monkey came up and told himself that he had a new relationship. Then everything fell into place. That was about Kate.”

According to Kuyt, this is not correct. “He denies having entered into a relationship with Kate during his marriage”, his manager Stefan Valk said Weekend. Kuyt does not want to say anything more about his relationship with Kate, whom he met at the summer drinks of the Dirk Kuyt Foundation in 2019. “Dirk does not feel the need to respond to this. We do not make any statements about this. He regards his private life as private.”

Kuyt did according to it Weekend in recent months everything to avoid being seen with Kate. The former right winger did not want to hurt his ex-wife and children extra. That is why he and Kate always met in Amsterdam-Zuid, the residence of the 29-year-old model, and not in Noordwijk, because there was too great a chance that they could meet Geertrude there.

The weekly also publishes new details about the divorce between Kuyt and Geertrude. Although the community property in which they were initially married had been converted into a prenuptial agreement, Geertrude retains the right to half of their joint assets. The villa in Noordwijk where Geertrude and the four children from their marriage live is for sale for 6.9 million euros. Kuyt’s assets were previously estimated by Quote at 26 million euros. If that is correct, Geertrude is therefore entitled to a capital of 13 million euros.
