On the day that Yolanthe Cabau she catapults herself back into the spotlight with her own Netflix docu, her ex also makes headlines. Wesley Sneijder, former football god, now podcast guest, shows that he has found love again. And his new girlfriend? That is the 23-year-old Romy Lukassen. Beautiful, blonde, Instagram-ready and about seventeen years younger than him. Right.

Romy: young, blonde and Instagram-chic

Anyone who scrolls through her feed can see it immediately: this girl lives a sunny life with cappuccinos in Seville, crop tops in Marbella and especially a lot of likes. Romy is an influencer, model, and part-time vacation dream – and recently also the new love of Wesley. She confirmed it earlier this spring on Instagram with a photo of them together and a clear “Love you.”.

The photos don’t lie: he, grinning widely in a linen shirt. She, radiant in sunglasses and a summer dress. Add to that Wesley visiting her grandfather's campsite on his 40th birthday (cozy!), and you know: this is going well. Or well, for now.

Yolanthe reacts like a queen

Where other exes might be bitter if their ex suddenly dates a girl who is just about to graduate, Yolanthe Cabau reacts exactly as you hope but rarely see: wise, warm, and classy. On Wesley’s birthday, she posted a loving congratulation, with words like: “Cheers to the moments that matter.” Look, that’s Yolanthe in a nutshell.

At the same time, she also appears back in the picture, literally, via a Netflix docu about her life. The timing is perfect: he in love in Spain, she vulnerable, beautiful, and open-hearted on screen. Both in the spotlight, but each with their own show.

Wesley and Yolanthe: a love fairy tale with edges

It started like a juicy story should start: with a leaked video from a parking garage. We saw him, muscular and tanned. Her, in a designer jacket. And the rest is history. They married, had a son Xess Xava, became the glamour couple of the Netherlands, and seemed unbreakable for a while.

But as often happens in fairy tales with footballers, life off the field became more complicated. Wesley admitted in interviews that “drinking, bad friends, and women” destroyed his marriage. And although they took a long time to put a definitive end to it, it was clear: their paths diverged.

And yes, there was first Jan Smit

For those who have forgotten: before Sneijder, Yolanthe had a relationship with Jan Smit. And that didn’t end quietly either. When it ended, Jan’s mother even appeared on TV (hi Shownieuws) to loudly tell what Yolanthe had taken from Volendam. From photo frames to tablecloths – everything was mentioned. A scandal with embroidery edges.

And yet Yolanthe always managed to recover stylishly. She left for LA, worked on her acting career, and focused on her son. And now: Netflix docu, international appeal, and back in charge of her story.

And Wesley? He is in love

His new girlfriend Romy is 23, shines on social media, and seems crazy about Wesley. And Wesley? He seems reborn. After a period of introspection, podcasts, and emotional interviews, there is now room for romance again. And apparently, that love is young, blonde, and very Instagrammable.

But the most beautiful thing? The love between two parents for their child. Because you can divorce as much as you want, a child connects. And that’s just how it is, dear people.
