Sylvie Meis had a hard time after saying goodbye to her fourteen-year-old son Damián, who moved to his father Rafael van der Vaart in Denmark to play at a football club there. After hesitating for a long time she gave her blessing, but that led to a lot of emotions in the presenter.
In an interview with RTL Germany tells Meis that she could not bring it up emotionally to return home immediately after saying goodbye to Damián. That is why she first went to the French south coast with her fiancé Niclas Castello.
“To isolate me and to it empty nest syndrome not feeling it yet. And not to go straight home to my normal life, because that is of course completely different now “, said 42-year-old Meis.
Previously, Damián lived with Meis in the German city of Hamburg, but now he lives with his father, stepmother Estavana Polman and half-sister Jesslynn in Denmark.
Despite the distance, Meis still has almost daily contact with her son. “Fortunately, we call and facetim a lot.” She will also visit him often. “I go to him every weekend. That helps.”
Meis said earlier in an interview with the German magazine image that she is happy that the bond between her and her ex-husband is so good. She also gets along well with Polman. According to her, this makes Damián “very happy”.
