Freek Vonk is already 42 years old and there comes a time when it gets a bit ridiculous when he still hysterically runs after all those animals. Doesn’t he miss Eva Jinek in his life?
The love affair between Freek Vonk and Eva Jinek was fiery, but did not last very long. The reason is clear: he would rather be in the woods than in bed next to his loved one. While Eva is now settled and lives in a very expensive villa in Abcoude with her new boyfriend, the animal lover is still single. Is his career full of animal adventures worth it?
Does Freek miss Eva?
Does Freek miss Eva Jinek in his life? “No, I don’t really believe in missing out either,” he says The Telegraph. “There are times in your life when you need freedom to grow, to travel, to discover. And sometimes there comes a time when you want to share more. I follow that rhythm, as I observe nature: not forcing anything, everything at the right time.”
“Moreover, I don’t fit into that classic image of house, tree, animal. To be truly happy, I have to go out into the world. I need adventure, distant travel, unknown places. That makes it difficult to combine with a relationship, let alone a family. That’s where relationships have broken down before, yes.”
Dad Spark
The chance is becoming smaller that Freek will ever become a father. “That’s right, but I don’t believe I necessarily need that to live a happy life. People have a natural urge to leave something behind, including me. But that can be done in all kinds of ways. I share my love for nature with many children, which also feels like a kind of legacy to me.”
“Will I regret it later? I don’t think you should make choices for fear of regret. There are always moments when you think: what would my life have been like if… But there is no right or wrong. That realization gives me peace.”
