Kat Kerkhofs is regularly appearing on your TV screen again these days with her passage in ‘Over the Ocean‘. There we get to know another side of the white. In a controversial interview, she expressed some unprecedented frustration.
Cat without borders
In Flanders we met Kat as the wife of Rode Duivel Dries Mertens, although the native of Leuven later built her own media career.
The blonde was seen in ‘Cat Without Borders’ and ‘Dancing with the Stars’, among others. As a result of moving to Istanbul (and before that, of course, Naples) it was not easy to realize her own goals.
The latter clearly caused irritation, as Kat now said HLN. “I have always followed Dries abroad. That was obvious to me, but at the same time it was frustrating, because I had to put my own ambitions on the back burner. I have said that often in interviews, I know.”
“We are very hurt”
Kate likes life abroad, even though it is sometimes… difficult. “I have always been very happy with what Dries and I have built and with the life we lead. But it is also intense at times. And sometimes also a little difficult.”
The relationship between Mertens and Kat has also gone through a ‘storm’, just as it was during the sailing trip across the ocean. “We have hurt each other a lot, but we have also forgiven each other for that. We know our ups and downs, but we are aware: the grass is not greener the other side,” he said bluntly.
