Oh oh: the crisis of Wendy and Erland
I can imagine that it must be quite a tough morning in the Van Dijk & Galjaard household. It must be hard to swallow when you read on the front page about the state of your marriage while sipping your morning coffee. Not even because it's gossip, but the harsh truth.
Unfortunately, it is true that our marriage has encountered some rough waters in recent times. Despite that, we are fortunately treating each other in a good and positive way. Both in the interest of our family, but also because of the love and respect we still feel for each other,” the couple stated in a statement to De Telegraaf.
I find it terrible to spend the whole morning on the phone with every possible news outlet to confirm this private news. And yet, it doesn't all come as a bolt from the blue. How can it be that this strong duo is starting to clash? Various theories are circulating.
Theory 1: his midlife crisis
After his departure from RTL, suddenly there was time in the life of 51-year-old Erland. Another man of his age might, let's say, go golfing, but he fully immersed himself in a DJ career. Nowadays, he performs with the DJ duo Soulvation, is a full-time fitboy, and isn't shy about sharing #fitbodygoals pictures with us. I can imagine it takes some adjusting when your husband makes this turnaround.
Theory 2: she doesn't really ‘need’ him anymore’
This is a tough one. But speculation is rife. He offered her peace. He moved in with her next to her mother. He saw more in her than just a presenter. She got a leading role in the now wildly popular Moordvrouw. She started her own magazine. Career-wise, she was quite safe in the saddle with a man like RTL director. And then the bubble burst.
Theory 3: they've just been together for a long time, and well, shit happens
They always support each other, after all. Or should I remind you of the online video where Wendy dances to her husband's electronic beats? And conversely, Erland is the first to try out Wendy's new training schedules and throw them into the online world under #fit4summer and #disqtraining, complete with all the semi-awkward pictures. Could it be that as partners you lose each other along the way?
Dear people, love can be difficult sometimes. I have also been in a relationship for over nine years , stop it, I know all about it. Then you are also Wendy van Dijk, everything is going rough, and this delicate part of yourself is laid out so broadly in the press, and then we also write about it. Actually, only because I hope that things will work out between the two of them. Wendy, Erland, as I read and hear all this, there is still a lot of love between you two. Straighten your backs, pick up that phone, and book that couples therapy session. Because as far as I'm concerned, you are both way too great as a duo., Instagram Wendy van Dijk.
