‘In one night, Thibaut gave me what I missed with Kevin for years – Caroline Lijnen. TrendyNews got to the truth behind ‘hatred’ between De Bruyne and Courtois
Kevin De Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois are undoubtedly two stars in their respective positions but the two don’t get along at all, despite putting on the same national team shirt.
The reason behind their mutual hatred is simple: Courtois stole Kevin’s girlfriend back in 2014. She admitted herself to having a fling with Tibo, but insisted it happened only after Kevin cheated on her.
“In the summer of 2012, Kevin told me that he had an affair with my old best friend. I gave him the choice: her or me,” she told Belgian newspaper Sport.
“I was ready to give him another chance, but our relationship was never the same afterwards.
“Thibaut gave me in that one night, what I’d sorely missed for three years with Kevin.
“With Thibaut I could have good conversations and he also cooked nicely for me. Such a thing Kevin never did. And then suddenly we clicked.”
De Bruyne and Courtois have been in open conflict ever since. Former Belgium manager Marc Wilmots even asked the former if he should avoid calling up the latter, such was Kevin’s importance for the team. Kevin’s answer was simple.
“Although I still can not believe what Courtois has done, we continue to work together professionally, ” he wrote in his autobiography.
“The coach asked me if he should leave the team. I do not think I had the right to say that he can not play for the national team anymore because, he did something wrong. Of course he remains a good goalkeeper. So I said he could stay.”
