Mathieu van der Poel and Roxanne Bertels have officially ended their relationship after several years together. The cycling superstar and the Belgian model had been one of the most admired couples in the sports world, often spotted together at major races, events, and vacations. Their split, while unexpected to fans, appears to be amicable.
In a brief joint statement shared privately through close circles, Van der Poel acknowledged the depth of their bond and the effort they both invested in the relationship. “We gave it everything but sometimes, love just isn’t enough,” he said. “Roxanne has been an incredible part of my journey. I’ll always be grateful for the years we shared.”
Sources close to the couple suggest that the breakup was not the result of scandal or betrayal but rather a mutual realization that their lives were heading in different directions. With Van der Poel fully focused on his demanding racing calendar and Roxanne pursuing her own career and passions, maintaining the relationship became increasingly difficult.
Fans have flooded social media with support for both, expressing sadness but also admiration for the maturity and respect shown by the couple in their separation. While no further details have been confirmed, both Van der Poel and Bertels have reportedly asked for privacy as they move forward independently.
