Eva Jinek, like Peter van der Vorst, has also departed from the well-known Dutch village of Abcoude. According to a recent report from Story, Jinek couldn’t quite feel settled in this suburban locale nestled under the shadow of Amsterdam, leading her to migrate to The Hague.
### A Star’s Move
Talk show diva Eva Jinek has made waves with her decision to leave Abcoude, a village that hosts various celebrities including Najib Amhali and Miljuschka Witzenhausen. Under the headline “Eva Jinek buys a multimillion-dollar villa for her family,” Story has showcased her new residence, piquing the interest of her followers and the media alike.
#### Struggling to Settle
Eva originally purchased her villa in Abcoude soon after signing her contract with RTL 4. With her commercial success, she amassed a fortune, allowing for a luxurious lifestyle. However, the village did not suit her. Story notes, “The presenter couldn’t settle in Abcoude, where showbiz colleagues such as Trijntje Oosterhuis, Najib Amhali, and Arie Boomsma live.”
### A Monumental Change
Now, Jinek and her husband, television producer Dexter van der Voorn, have invested €2.2 million in a monumental property in The Hague, a house dating back to 1886. Photos of this architectural gem can be viewed on Bekende Buren.
#### Roots in The Hague
The choice to move back to The Hague is not just a matter of taste; it is a return to her roots. Jinek grew up in this city, where her elderly parents still reside. Story elaborates, “Not only is Eva excited about her return to The Hague, but her parents are also thrilled that they will get to see their daughter and grandchildren more often.”
### The Departure of Peter van der Vorst
The reasons behind Peter van der Vorst’s departure from Abcoude have been different, centered around reports of alleged intolerance toward homosexuality in the village. He mentioned in previous interviews, “There was also a time when a window was broken at our place, and I once came home from a TV recording to find a group of youths standing outside, yelling unpleasant things.” This underlying tension highlights the struggles faced by public figures in small communities.
### A Trend Among Celebrities?
The move of both Jinek and van der Vorst raises questions about the environment provided by small Dutch villages for celebrities. While some thrive in these close-knit communities, others find the scrutiny and sometimes hostile social dynamics unbearable. Their departures may suggest a larger trend where public figures are seeking more tolerant and open spaces that align with their lifestyles and values.
### Conclusion
Eva Jinek’s transition from Abcoude to The Hague represents more than just a change of address; it signifies a return to familiarity, and for her family, a chance to reconnect with their roots. As the media continues to cover these celebrity moves, it remains to be seen how they will influence perceptions of small-town living among public figures in the Netherlands. As society progresses, perhaps more celebrities will prioritize personal comfort and community acceptance in their living environments.
