Wibi Soerjadi is completely shocked when Harry Mens suddenly starts talking about his young girlfriend during a TV interview. “Ehhh, yeah, I never mentioned her age. Not now either.”
You never know what you can count on with Harry Mens: one moment you have the feeling that Harry himself is already dozing off behind the talk show table, the next moment he suddenly asks a question that you don’t see coming at all. It also happens to Wibi Soerjadi when he joins Business Classand that leads to severe discomfort…
Sugarwibi
It is a striking couple: 54-year-old Wibi Soerjadi acts crazy all the time with his Mickey Mouse things and everything else that comes with his crazy Disney hobby, but in the meantime he just acts like a sugar daddy. The pianist has been together with Mirthe, 32 (!) years younger, for a few years now, who is only 22 years old.
They have known each other for two years, so Mirthe was 20 when he met her. He was certainly standing in line for cotton candy at Disneyland when Wibi struck. Anyway: they both seem to be happy with each other and Harry Mens would like to know more about that. The presenter therefore puts Wibi on the chopping block in his talk show.
New girlfriend
Harry first starts very cleverly about something businesslike. “Of course, all the newspapers follow you and you have of course had a difficult period financially, but that has all been resolved, I understand?”
Wibi measuredly: “It’s going very well.”
Then Harry suddenly says, “Look at that. You have a new girlfriend.”
Wibi: “Yes.”
Harry: “Tell me.”
Children
It makes Wibi visibly uncomfortable. “Yes, I have a girlfriend, her name is Mirthe, and she is very sweet and we have a great time together. She also organizes the concerts. Of course, she organized all the recent garden concerts and the current Christmas gala.”
Harry: “Does she play a bit herself?”
Wibi: “No, she doesn’t play, but I’m teaching her a little.”
Harry: “Look at that. The tabloids said: well, would he have any more children? But I thought that was a bit lame.”
Not read
Wibi really can’t give herself any attitude anymore and tries to get out of it. “Ehmmm, yes, I know I’m in the magazines, but I haven’t read it yet, so I don’t know exactly what it’s about, haha.”
Harry then completely in Aran Bade mode: “Well, that you would have children for a while. But she is still of age to have children, I understand.”
Wibi: “Yes, that ehh, yes…”
32 years
Harry then delicately notes that Mirthe is very young. “Because you are 32 years apart. Does that cause complications?”
Wibi: “Ehhh, yes, I never mentioned her age, so we’re not going to talk about that. She is very sweet.”
Harry: “Why? It’s fun, isn’t it? A young woman, nothing wrong with that.”
Wibi: “We have a great time together.”
