Jelle Cleymans Questions Traditional Relationships After Ten Years Single
Actor and singer Jelle Cleymans has spent ten years as a single man and no longer feels any obligation to conform to traditional relationship standards such as cohabitation and marriage. Speaking on the television program Het huis hosted by Eric Goens, Cleymans explained his perspective on romance and modern partnerships, voeltbalkrant.com reported. “For a long time now, I haven’t fit into the romantic ideal of a relationship,” Cleymans stated on the program. “Love doesn’t always have to do with living together and having children with someone. That can be it, but it doesn’t have to be.” He added that he has not lived the life of a monk over the past decade, despite remaining unmarried.
Praise For Ruben Van Gucht Shifts Public Conversation
During his appearance, Cleymans offered unexpected praise for Belgian sports anchor Ruben Van Gucht, commending him for reshaping public perceptions of relationships for public figures. Cleymans acknowledged the difficulties famous individuals face when navigating romantic lives under public scrutiny.
“He is a brave knight who has made the lives of many famous Flemings easier,” Cleymans said of Van Gucht. “He has broken a lance. I call him the Mitterrand of his generation: And then?”
Van Gucht responded to the remarks shortly after during an appearance on the program Happy Hour. Quoting Cleymans’ compliments, the sports presenter offered a direct reply with a characteristic quip.
“Well: you’re welcome, Jelle,” Van Gucht said. “They haven’t been easy years for me either with all those women, but especially for you I’m going to keep doing it.” Valentine Bésard, who was sitting in the audience during the broadcast, immediately made a playful ‘silence’ gesture with her hands in response.
