As has Belle, the divorce from her former husband Mario in 2008. The two convert after eight years to end their marriage. “The love was full and we decided to go. I see my divorce as something negative. It was the moment par excellence for a new story to begin. Therefore, I left my trusted environment in which some friendships were killed. That was emotionally very heavy. I had so much fear to take the step, but at the same time I also need new oxygen.”
You did it when in the field of music also more.

It may not all be a matter of course, without too much trouble in crossing. I am still deeply in love with Wout. With the corresponding jitters in the belly. I have all the confidence that we are growing old together will be. Our relationship is based on trust, love and lots of humor.”

Sometimes you have to love a helping hand. And so decided a friend in a couple Belle and Wout to be linked. “It was a blind date in a restaurant and I found Wout rather arrogant impression. And vice versa also. But we felt both that there is still a huge attraction.”
And then you start dating.
“be Very careful. We were both out of a long relationship and would not again be hurt. Therefore, it has Wout it with silk gloves addressed. He did not want to make mistakes. Only after three weeks, he asked for my phone number. Previously ran all communications from our friends. But, as we have each other really good to know.”
