Kevin De Bruyne & Michele Lacroix

Kevin De Bruyne is renowned for setting up countless goals with his precise assists on the field, but when it came to romance, it was his friend who played the role of assist-maker. In a 2019 interview with The Player’s Tribune, De Bruyne shared a pivotal moment from 2014, during his time on loan at Werder Bremen. Struggling to send a message to Michele Lacroix, he enlisted the help of a friend to break the ice. That message marked the beginning of their relationship, which blossomed into a marriage in 2017. Together, they have three children: Mason Milian, Rome, and Suri. Reflecting on his journey, De Bruyne credited Michele for being a cornerstone of his personal growth and expressed his gratitude for taking that first step to reach out.
