Yves Berendse and his new sweetheart Amy are together again. They broke up last week. And before that they just knew each other. Relationship expert Patrick van Veen has a word for it: adolescent.
It all happened very quickly. Yves Berendse was recently caught by Story with his new love Amy, a PR lady who also marked the definitive end of his seven-year relationship with Sophie. She had supported him through thick and thin, even when he was still singing in front of a handful of people.
Still an opportunity
Yves then texted the Story people last Monday at 4:35 am, just before the magazine went to the printer, to report that it was already over. Too different, didn’t fit. A week later, Amy’s car is back behind the gate of his multi-million dollar villa in Vinkeveen and they drive away together in his Range Rover.
What turns out? They are back together a week later. “Yves Berendse STILL gives mistress Amy a chance to restart her relationship,” the headline reads. Story.
Deception?
How exactly does this work? Yves denies that he is trying to mislead the Story. “It’s a shame. “I understand that you don’t understand it for a moment,” the singer said in the magazine. “I didn’t try to mislead you. We had some disagreements, but we found each other again.”
Story finds it unbelievable. “Friends and enemies now agree: no matter how successful, Yves is currently making a mess of his love life,” the magazine said.
Adolescent
Relationship expert Patrick van Veen, known from Married At First Sight, is surprised. “Oh man, you just met her and suddenly it’s your great love, but a few hours later it’s already the end of the exercise. I think it’s a bit adolescent, I have to be honest.”
“Go on a date, enjoy it. It is a fantastic period for many people, but try to keep it a bit anonymous. Cross the border, where people probably don’t know you at all.”
