“It raised eyebrows a bit earlier last year: Douwe Bob had a child with artist Loes van Delft, but he emphasized that he had no relationship with her. Very creative and rock ‘n roll – absolutely, but it got a bit uncomfortable when he recently announced that his ex Anouk, with whom he had been trying to have a child for three years, is also pregnant (from Douwe Bob himself, this just before the clarity).
Well I don’t know Anouk, but personally I would go pretty badly if my boyfriend, with whom I haven’t been able to have that coveted child for years, makes one with someone else in no time. Only this does not stop the embarrassing baby boom. Last month, a little girl was born somewhere with the singer’s genes. Now juice channels begin to gain the upper hand in gossip land, nothing really remains a secret anymore. And so, after the unveiling of ., Douwe Bob was able to dirt-hyena Yvonne Coldeweijer nothing but admit that he made not one, not two, but three babies in record time.”
Life is a whirlwind, ride it
“Obviously, this was again fodder for jokers on Twitter. I had a great time last night with the many allusions to, among other things, a GGD test street to check whether Douwe Bob is the father or not. Or about people who had it immortalized in black and white that they really are not Douwe Bob’s children – you can just rule it out.
Life is a whirlwind, ride it – let Douwe Bob know sober about the somewhat remarkable situation. Well, life certainly has a fairly unpredictable and sometimes quite stormy character, but if you hang your cock unprotected in every nice woman you meet, you also have some control over how hard you turn on the wind machine , not?”

There’s just no stopping it in men
“I hope that Douwe Bob has gathered his senses a bit by now and that a whole horde of women will not come to claim a child from him in the coming period. He’s clearly found a new hobby now that his gigs are on the back burner. It seems rather messy to divide attention; he will be quite busy with ‘only three’ now.
And furthermore, in my view, it remains a construction error of Mother Nature, that a man can only continue to reproduce so endlessly and unbridled. For us the story stops every time we are pregnant, very practically, nine months. And somewhere around 45, fertility comes to an end. No, then men. There’s just no stopping it. Emile Ratelband will have his ninth child when he is 73. Douwe Bob makes three with three women in six months… If I had had to write the entire reproductive story ‘in the beginning’, it would have looked different. Something more equal. But yeah, we just have to deal with it…”
