Industry experts expressed their astonishment last week, questioning how Roxeanne managed to keep her wedding under wraps from the press. Albert Verlinde noted that this secrecy was particularly surprising given her family’s history of media exposure.
No Secret at All
Evert Santegoeds dismissed claims of secrecy surrounding Roxeanne’s wedding. “There were whispers about how she could keep it hidden, but we weren’t oblivious—we had a photographer and a reporter present,” he stated.
In a recent episode of his podcast Strikt Privé, Santegoeds confirmed that his publication had dedicated a team to cover the event. “Edwin Bredius and Wesley de Wit were definitely there. You can expect the full report in our upcoming issue,” he added.
Unfortunate Circumstances
Evert also revealed that Rachel Hazes, Roxeanne’s mother, was not present at the wedding. “It’s rather unfortunate that she was serving coffee in Spain while her daughter was getting married without her knowledge,” he commented, highlighting the family tensions that seem to exist.
This lack of communication raises further questions about Rachel’s long-anticipated book. Evert expressed skepticism, wondering how long it could take to complete. “It’s becoming concerning; she promised the book would be ready by February, around André’s 75th birthday, but we still haven’t seen anything,” he mentioned.
The Elusive Book
Rachel has been working on a tell-all book for years, which some speculate might never see the light of day. Fellow journalism colleague Jordi Versteegden raised the question, “Could her lawyers have advised against publication?”
In response, Evert noted, “That might very well be the case; revisions seem necessary, especially with how many disputes she’s had with others.” This commentary adds yet another layer of intrigue to an already complicated family narrative.
In summary, while Roxeanne Hazes’ wedding may have appeared as a well-kept secret, key figures in the media community had their eyes on the event all along. The absence of her mother and the ongoing discussions about Rachel’s book add a rich backdrop of family dynamics that is sure to unfold in the public eye.
