Roxanne Bertels, partner of cycling champion Mathieu van der Poel, recently surprised fans with a candid interview about the challenges of their relationship. The couple, who have been together since 2018, have had a rocky road. Despite their strong bond and shared passion for sport, there were testing moments that put their relationship to the test.

Roxanne, a former Porsche marketing executive and now a popular influencer, explained how she supported Mathieu during his severe back problems. “He wasn’t always the easiest person at home,” she confessed in an interview. This difficult period brought tensions, but also strengthened their bond. Roxanne’s dedication proved crucial, especially during Mathieu’s career milestones, such as his world title in 2023.

The couple live together in S-Graven-Wezel and are planning their future, including a wedding in 2026. However, there have been rumors of problems, partly due to Mathieu’s demanding career and public criticism, such as his use of a private jet. Roxanne fiercely defended him: “He earned everything he has.”

Fans also speculated about a possible pregnancy, but Roxanne denied this, emphasizing that their desire for children is still pending. Despite the challenges, their love, as seen on Roxanne’s Instagram, where she shares intimate moments, is evident. This story of resilience and dedication makes their group unique and inspiring.
