It is the showbiz news of the week: Jan Smit and his wife Liza Plat are ending their marriage after fourteen years. What happened? “The Volendam community is closed like an oyster.”
Jan Smit (40) and his wife Liza Plat (42) are ending their marriage after fourteen years, his manager has confirmed to RTL Boulevard. The singer does not want to respond substantively and, together with Liza, asks for peace for their family. No reason is given and that of course immediately leads to an incredible amount of speculation.
Oyster
The cake was gone, thinks Patty Brard. “To be honest, I remember that there was some friction before, but in what marriage there is never any friction, you know. I just think it’s a shame. It’s a real shame, because it is a beautifully blended family with three children,” she says at the desk of Show news.
No reason is known, according to celebrity expert Bart Ettekoven. “In that respect, Volendam has always been a kind of closed oyster. They all keep a hand over each other. If there are things like this, you don’t hear about it for a long time. And if it does come out, like now, no one dares to burn their fingers about it.”
Juice channels
In any case, the juice channels did not see the news coming. Yvonne Coldeweijer has not yet released her wardrobe, Juice Channel also knows little about it and Reality FBI has heard some things, but hasn’t gotten much further. “Let the speculation begin,” the channel said.
Very little is coming out, says Reality FBI. “There is a kind of juice embargo in Volendam. Nothing comes in or out, haha. Still, we are curious who did what here, if anything at all.”
Corine
Is there another woman in the game? “The name of a certain Corine often comes up as a possible new flame. We have spoken to this Corine, but the crazy coincidence is that she already has a man with the same name as Jan.”
The channel continues: “She understands the confusion, but says that she has no relationship with the singer/presenter Jan. There is currently no reason to think that Jan has made a wrong skate.”
Contested divorce?
Is a contested divorce coming? Unlikely, according to the channel. “When they got married in 2011, they had everything clearly recorded at the notary.”
“According to reports from that time, Jan will keep his millions, and Liza will receive approximately 300,000 euros, the car and possibly alimony. Although of course, something may have changed in those agreements over all these years.”
What does Evert think?
Finally: what does Private Boss Evert Santegoeds think about it? He points out that Jan has often been found in the Austrian snow with friends lately. “Anyone who listens in Volendam will be told that something may have happened the last time in the snow that may have been the final straw for Liza,” he writes. The Telegraph.
A source tells him: “He also celebrated there with a man and woman, about 40. Liza never knows who is among them.”
