Belgian love triangle

Mumbai: The woman who cheated on Kevin de Bruyne with his Belgium team-mate Thibaut Courtois has revealed that she had the affair after the Wolfsburg midfielder strayed with her former best friend.  

 

Rumours about a love-triangle between Caroline Lijnen and the duo first began in April 2013 but she has now spoken out, confirming that she was intimate with Courtois after De Bruyne admitted that he’d cheated on her. 

 

Speaking to Belgian publication Story Magazine, she said: “Kevin cheated on me. I did not say anything for months because I couldn’t say anything, as Kevin’s parents said they would take legal action if I gave my story. 

 

“I respected everything. But in his book Keep it Simple Kevin wrote a passage about my affair with Thibaut. So, I decided to remain silent no longer.

 

“In the summer of 2012, Kevin told me that he had an affair with my old best friend. I was ready to give him another chance, but our relationship was never the same afterwards. 

“But then something happened that should never have happened.” 

 

De Bruyne and Courtois are believed to have patched-up since the incident, although the Wolfsburg midfielder was said to be 'devastated' upon hearing the news.
