Apollonia Sterckx Hosts Third Season of VRT Podcast Split
Twenty-year-old At home actress Apollonia Sterckx takes on her first presentation role for VRT by hosting the third season of the podcast Split, which launched on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, on VRT MAX, as reported by VRT. The season explores the emotional toll and practical realities of growing up with divorced parents, coinciding with VRT’s charity event De Warmste Week.
Sterckx, whose own parents separated when she was eight years old, guides conversations in each episode alongside two young public figures. The guests discuss living between two households, dividing holidays, and the broader search for a stable home environment. Featured guests in the new season include Anna-Livia Smekens, Nina Black, and Malik Moirene, according to additional reporting from communicatie.vrt.be.
Diverse Experiences of Co-Parenting and Living From a Suitcase
The podcast episodes examine wide-ranging personal circumstances, moving from logistical adjustments to deeper emotional impacts. Actor Kobe Debie notes that his parents’ separation felt primarily practical rather than disruptive, while Nina Black shares a period of independence where she and her brother lived on their own for a few years with assistance from a neighbor serving as a landlord, as detailed by communicatie.vrt.be.
Other guests address the more isolating aspects of family separation. Actor Malik Moirene recalls having to call his own father on his birthday for wishes, and actor Jean Janssens reflects on navigating his identity in relation to his father. Meanwhile, musician Ise Smeets addresses the concept of living out of a suitcase—an experience she translated into her recent music release titled ‘Suitcase child’—and Romy Deridder discusses the integration of stepfathers into modern family dynamics, as reported by Newsmonkey.
Streaming Details and Future Availability
The third season of Split is available for streaming and viewing on VRT MAX. VRT links the release directly to De Warmste Week, which focuses this year on ensuring everyone has a warm home. Sterckx maintains her regular acting commitments on the daily soap opera At home alongside her new hosting responsibilities.
