Sarah van Soelen has a new friend! ‘It’s still early days, but we really like each other. I have a great time with him,” she says in conversation with the weekly magazine Story.
Thunder in a clear sky
It has been three years since Sarah was left by André Hazes. The break came as a complete surprise for the influencer. Sarah and André had bought a house together and made plans for the future, including discussions about starting a family. “We had furnished a room for André’s son,” she told the weekly magazine Story at the time. “And we talked about children. I really thought we would grow old together.”
‘It feels safe’
Fortunately, the sadness about André is now a thing of the past. She beams with happiness with her new boyfriend. “It took me a long time before I could open my heart again after André. I wasn’t thinking about it either. Until I met this nice man. He comes from Rotterdam just like me. That alone feels very familiar.”
Who is Sarah’s mysterious lover?
But who is that mysterious man? “I’ll keep that to myself for a while. I’m no longer involved with André at all. I don’t follow him on social media and I don’t listen to his music. That book is really closed.”
Rachel Hazes
During her relationship with André, Van Soelen had a strong bond with his mother, Rachel Hazes. Even after the breakup, Sarah and Rachel remained in close contact with each other. But now that contact has also faded away. “I no longer have contact with Rachel. Nothing has happened between us, but sometimes it goes like that. We each lead our own lives. So the Hazes chapter is closed in all respects.”
