Igone de Jongh is feeling better a few months after ending her relationship with Thijs Römer. This is what the 44-year-old dancer says The Telegraph-weekend supplement Free.
“I think it is very sweet that people realize that I am having a very difficult time. But at the moment I prefer to say ‘I have had it’. It is still difficult, but much less than a few months ago,” says De Jongh, who is in the theater with a new performance.
Römer was convicted in August of sexual misconduct with underage girls. The actor appealed. After his conviction, De Jongh announced that she had ended their relationship.
It was a tough time, but she is doing better. “And when I see what’s happening in the world and what others are going through… What do I really have to complain about? A little bit of heartbreak. I’ll get over that.”
‘My misery is relative’
She does say that it is not easy. “But my misery is relative. I get to do what I love very much,” says the dancer, referring to her work. “I have a nice new home. And my children are healthy.”
De Jongh, who premieres her new performance Beauty Persists on Monday, always supports dancing. “As a child I was very shy. Dancing was a way to express my feelings. It still helps me get to the core. I prefer dancing to having a good conversation.”
