Tom Boonen and girlfriend Laure break up after 20 years: ‘I now have a new girlfriend’ | BV

“We still got along very well,” Bonin says of his failed relationship with Laure. The latter currently works as a perinatal loss counselor, helping mothers who have had miscarriages. Tom Boonen started out as a professional cyclist in 2002 and became world champion in 2005. In 2017, he decided to retire. The two have two daughters: twins Jacqueline and Valentine (8). Although they are no longer together, it does not mean that they no longer have a good relationship, assures Tom, who has only good words to say about Laure.

“We knock on each other’s door, and we still go on vacation together, but we don’t live together anymore. Just: We don’t shout this from the rooftops. We don’t have to account for it, do we? As a contestant, you’re still a public figure, but now? Do you?” Should we put an Instagram photo together, hold hands, and then add such a vulgar text? I’m still old school. Nobody has any business with what I do in my private life.”

“I now have a new girlfriend,” he adds. “Children, family, and friends are part of our story, and that’s more than enough. Laure has always been the woman of my life and probably still is. I have two beautiful daughters with my best friend, and we wish each other all the happiness in the world.”

By the way, Tom tries to spend as much time as possible with his two daughters. “Bring them to school, go for a bike ride, catch up with them some time, hey.” Although they both beg for a mobile phone, he is not really in love with her. “I always emphasize that this is the right time, even without a cell phone or TikTok. We used to put a picture of them on Instagram, but we don’t do that anymore. They have a right to their privacy.”
