Thomas van der Vlugt is no longer with Bachelorcandidate Merel, she confirms Instagram† In her message she writes that the Piece of TVpresenter cheated on her, a rumor that has already circulated on several juice channels.
“It feels like a nightmare to me that I don’t wake up from,” writes Beks, who has been together with Van der Vlugt since the end of last year. “And I’m going to break. Thomas and I aren’t together anymore.”
The presenter is said to have said two weeks ago “that he could no longer and that everything was too much”. “And that came to me pretty out of the blue and suddenly.” The couple experienced all the attention through their participation in The Bachelor a lot of pressure.
“When someone indicates that they are not feeling well, you want to be there for someone and fight for it. I indicated this and I indicated that it was not immediately ready for me. I asked for ‘a break’ and I gave him space. I believed that the opportunity was still there,” said Beks.
In the meantime, reports appeared on various juice channels that Van der Vlugt and Beks were no longer together and that the presenter would have been seen with another woman.
“I feel embarrassed that Thomas said on Friday that we were dating and knew I wanted to work hard for it while he was doing other things,” she wrote. “I feel embarrassed with all the information I have received, I feel pain that I never wanted to feel. I am deeply ashamed that I believed everything and believed him again and again.”
‘Wanted to bring it out together’
Van der Vlugt responds to the break shortly after Beks’ message. The presenter writes that he decided two weeks ago to end the relationship.
“We wanted to bring the news together at a time of our choosing, but given the current circumstances, I’m sharing it this way.”
The PieceTV-maker says he is “incredibly grateful” for the time with Beks. “We have had an incredibly beautiful adventure and you have a place in my heart. I wish you the world.” He doesn’t comment on the rumors that he might also be dating someone else.
