Initially, Rogier Smit demanded a monthly alimony of 10,000 euros from his husband. During the hearing he withdrew this claim after the judge stated that this claim was not sufficiently substantiated. This was followed by a lively discussion about a jacket that Rogier was missing in his wardrobe and which he believes would still hang in Frank’s wardrobe. Frank promised to check this and return the jacket to his ex-husband if found.
Frank Jansen, 76, and his partner, 29 years younger, had been together for more than 20 years, 17 of which were married. After the hearing, Rogier refused to comment on what had been discussed during the hearing. Frank made no secret of his relief that his marriage had finally come to an end. “I want to warn young people who are in love. Marriage goes very quickly, but divorce is a crime. It is also an expensive affair. I’m glad it’s here now. I’ll never have to see Roger again and I think it’s mutual. As of today, I can start flirting again and I intend to do so seriously, because I’m not a person to be left alone,” said the older of the two TV stars, who, due to the squabbling in their private lives, left their TV shows. saw a career go up in smoke.
