Maarten van Rossem thinks that Eva Jinek is very late in having a second baby. He thinks the difference with her first child, about five years, is too big. “She should have been quicker.”
Eva Jinek (44) receives a lot of unsolicited criticism on the joyful news that she is pregnant again. In addition to her son Pax, who is already 4.5 years old, a new sprout is now on the way. According to Patty Brard, it comes at an inconvenient moment, because Eva’s viewing figures are under pressure and her million-dollar contract with RTL is about to expire.
Jinek baby
The Story even thinks that this could seriously damage Eva’s career. ’44 and pregnant: is Eva Jinek sacrificing her career?’ is the headline this week on the cover of the magazine.
NPO star Maarten van Rossem is now also involved in the discussion about the Jinek baby. He thinks that Eva’s second child will follow very late after the first child. “I think she should have been a little faster, but well, of course I can’t interfere with that,” says the jury member of De Slimste Mens in his podcast.
Five year difference
Podcast host Tom Jessen notes, “I think it takes three or four years.”
Maarten then firmly: “No, five. Yes, I read that. The previous one was born in 2018, so that will be five years. That is relatively much for the difference between children. I was seven years apart from my brother and those are two different worlds. My brother is 11 and then I will be 18. You are courting, you are going to college and he was still a child.”
Interference
The age difference between Eva’s children will be less than that. “It is a slightly smaller difference, but it is still on the wide side, I think. But yeah, what am I doing?”
That is indeed a relevant question. Not only because Eva and her partner Dexter are really the only ones who are in charge of this, but also because Maarten seems to completely ignore the fact that you don’t have a baby to order.
Yet Maarten persists: a smaller age difference, such as the year and a half he had with his sister, is much better, according to him. “Yes, that is completely different. My sister helped me a lot.”
Borrow stuff
According to Maarten, Eva becoming a mother for the second time at the age of 44 does have an advantage. “We also had children a little later than many of our acquaintances, so we borrowed all those playpens and cots and nonsense that you never use for more than a year and a half from acquaintances.”
That could also be relevant for Eva, thinks Maarten. “Those boxes must have been used by three, four or five generations. Such a box does not wear out. Babies are not able to break those things down.”
Tom: “A good tip for Jinek.”
