Montana Meiland and Dirk Hoogstraten have split after eight years. And this while it seemed for some time that the couple would live together and get married.
“We’ve had great times together, but sometimes it’s time to let go,” Montana wrote on Wednesday Instagram. Rumors had been circulating in Noordwijk for a few hours that the two had broken up. According to The Telegraph sang it around on Tuesday.
Martien and Erica’s eldest daughter is famous for family reality shows, but that’s not the only reason for her fame in the coastal city. 28-year-old Montana has an interior design shop on the main street of Noordwijk and is so busy that she barely has time to go inside. Meiland Castle to appear.
The attentive spectator of the reality show already thought he saw some crack in the relationship between Montana and Dirk. In the eighty-minute reality family Christmas special, daughter Maxime could be seen with her partner and children, but Dirk was nowhere to be seen.

And this while Dirk is not often with us: he is a real estate developer and cannot always be present at the recordings due to his job. “Dirk and I are there quite often, while you don’t always see us in the picture. This is not aware, often that’s just the way it is. We all have our own lives too,” he once told Montana History.

The couple has been together for a total of eight years. And they’ve endured a lot: Martien, Maxime and Erica’s move to France, their return to Holland and all the media attention.
