Swartenbroekx calls it fortunate that the relationship did not materialize then. “It was something so special, unique and not self-evident. We had absolutely no need to come out with that ”, she says. “The press knew, but we asked them to keep it quiet and that was okay. At that stage in my life it was really a good period. At least you got the chance to find out whether or not it works with each other. ”
The relationship did not last. Swartenbroekx ran into a German deep-sea diver in the Maldives. Or rather, swam. “I ran into him underwater. That was a coup de foudre. The biological clock was also ticking. He came with us, we gave birth to two children. And okay, that relationship then went wrong, which is a shame in the end. ”
Later she met her current husband, actor Guido De Craene (65). Also on the set of FC the champions, because he played the master of ceremonies during the wedding between Bieke and Marc Vertongen (Herman Verbruggen). “He came to put a fleece blanket over me and looked into my eyes. We fell in love in the church portal. ”
