This is Sterre, the girlfriend of footballer Micky van de Ven

He is the great hero of his club Tottenham Hotspur and we are also happy to welcome him to the selection of the Dutch national team: Micky van de Ven is currently the most mentioned name in the football world. But even outside of that, everyone wants to know everything about this young star player. His father, Marcel van de Ven, you might know from programs like ‘Hunted’ and ‘112 today’. So he didn't get that tough hero vibe from a stranger. Micky is in demand at football clubs like PSV but also Champions League winner Paris Saint Germain is interested in him. As for his private life, he is, sorry but unfortunately, already completely tied to his great love Sterre. If you think she stands in Micky's shadow, you are completely mistaken, because this beauty also shines in her own way.

Why you want to keep an eye on Micky van de Ven

In the final of the European Cup, Micky's club Tottenham Hotspur had been leading 1-0 since the 42nd minute. It seemed that they would win the final against Manchester United, until the opposing team almost scored in the second half. Let's put it this way: if Micky hadn't been there to keep the ball off the goal line, the match might have ended differently for the club. He became world news, and this was while rumors were already circulating about a transfer to Real Madrid. So we are talking about a new Dutch superstar again, and that's why we want to know everything about him.

A bit about Sterre, Micky's 25-year-old girlfriend

How long Sterre and Micky have been together exactly, we don't know. But I guess it has been about two years. If you go Insta-stalking for a moment (no shame, we all do it sometimes), you will see that Micky first reacted to her photos one year and eight months ago. Sterre is not exactly a slacker, as she has worked as a consultant after her Communication studies, among other things. Meanwhile, she is happily living with Micky, so her work is on a bit of a back burner. If you need city trip inspiration: her Insta game is full of highlights from the nicest cities and best restaurants. And oh yes, she is also ridiculously beautiful.

They keep it very private

Despite the fact that Micky is currently in the spotlight, they still manage to keep their relationship largely private. Besides posting super cute comments under each other's Insta posts, there isn't much to discover about their relationship. It is clear that they are having a great time together in London. Sterre goes to all of Tottenham's matches to support her great love. Sterre is from Brabant, so it is super cozy for her that fellow Brabander Noa van der Bij has also moved to England with her boyfriend Cody Gakpo. Yes, that is indeed that other famous footballer from the Dutch national team.

Micky only became successful in football quite late

Many of the (later great and famous) footballers have been ‘in service’ of a well-known Eredivisie club since their youth. Micky van de Ven was very different: when he was 19 years old (in the 2020-2021 season), he was still playing for FC Volendam, who were promoted to the Eredivisie partly thanks to him. After that, things suddenly took off, because in 2023 he suddenly found himself in the Dutch national team and signed his 6-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur. A quite remarkable career, especially now that he is the great hero of the club due to his save in the second half of the European Cup final.

Maybe it will be a similar story with Ronald Koeman's son

Last weekend, Telstar was promoted to the Eredivisie, much to Ronald Koeman's pride. His son, Ronald Koeman junior, is the goalkeeper there. Ronald jr. just happened to have his birthday a week ago and is now twenty. So far, the timeline runs synchronously. Let's hope that Ronald jr. will also have such a beautiful career, because after the promotion, it became clear that his father remains critical of him, despite the win against Willem II.
