Wesley Sneijder (40) causes bewilderment with his interview on SBS 6, because in it he is quite cold about his new sweetheart Romy Lukassen (23). “I wouldn’t like this either.”
We don’t often see him in a talk show, but Wesley Sneijder is one of the three main guests in the new SBS 6 show tonight They were 2 fantastic days. In this he sits together with Jaimie Vaes and Igone de Jongh in a house, where they have candid conversations with each other. And the former footballer is also pretty frank …
In love?
Wesley has hooked up seventeen years younger girlfriend, Romy Lukassen, but what about the two exactly? Jaimie asks him about the man: “Are you in love?”
Then the ex of Yolanthe Cabau says: “Ehhh, I think in love such …”
Jaimie: “Well, let me put it this way: is there enough feeling?”
Italy
Wesley is not exactly wildly enthusiastic about his new sweetheart Romy. “I have … yes, yes … but yes, in love, in love … What is in love? There is no tickles at the age of 40.”
Jaimie: “You don’t know.”
Igone shocked: “Why not?!”
Wesley: “Yes, I don’t have that anymore. I used to have that, but now … yes, I got hard in that. I don’t know. I have experienced that much … It is also a bit of fear, you know that I have something like that …”
Open up
Jaimie finishes Wesley’s meaning. “To open yourself up completely?”
Wesley: “Yes, from: do I have to go again now … and then it might go wrong again, do you understand? So actually more fear.”
Such, that is striking, show expert Bart Ettekoven notes. He says to the desk of Shownieuws: “How come to you as women when you say new love,” Yes, I’m not really in love “?”
Colleague Eline Deruig: “I would find this very difficult.”
Not so nice
Tooske Ragas also thinks it is awkward by Wesley. “I wouldn’t like this either.”
Eline: “But maybe he doesn’t mean it.”
Writer Iris Enthoven, who is a guest in the studio: “Yes, I wouldn’t like this either. If I were her I would think a bit of …”
Eline: “I’m in the danger zone, yes, hahaha.”
Iris: “Yes, I would call from: what about us?”
Awkward
It is especially clumsiness of Wesley, Iris thinks. “I think it’s okay. He is probably just a man who doesn’t speak very open about it, about his feelings, so he is probably just a little looking in it, I think, but it’s doubtful.”
BN’er photographer William Rutten: “I also think he just takes his child into account. That he thinks: if I am going to say this now, that might be vulnerable or painful for my child, because that’s how he is.”
Tooske: “Then I hope he said that to his new girlfriend in advance.”
In love
Iris thinks Romy is very in love. “Yes, he is very in love then, I think. When he says,” I’m 40, I’m not in love anymore, “but she is younger.”
Eline: “I also find it a bit sad if you can no longer fall in love at the age of 40, 50 or 60. That is still possible? Give me hope.”
Tooske: “I have been married for twenty years and I am still very in love occasionally.”
Bart: “Yes, me too.”
