How Kevin De Bruyne's Former Girlfriend Cheated on Him With Thibaut Courtois
- Caroline Lijnen once admitted that she had an affair with Thibaut Courtois after she was cheated on herself
- The tennis player confirmed that her former partner, Kevin De Bruyne, betrayed her by having an affair with her best friend
- De Bruyne and Courtois, who are teammates for Belgium, have put the scandal behind them and resolved their differences
Ex-lover of Kevin De Bruyne, Caroline Lijnen, previously shared her reasons for cheating on the Manchester City playmaker with Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Although they are now teammates for Belgium, it’s understandable if the two players aren’t on the best of terms, given that De Bruyne's first love was involved with Courtois while she was still with him.
When did Caroline meet Courtois?
Caroline recounts the first time she met Courtois, a moment that took place during a visit to Madrid.
At that time, the towering goalkeeper was playing for La Liga side Atlético Madrid, where he was on loan from Premier League giants Chelsea.
The encounter happened amidst the vibrant football scene of the Spanish capital, where Diego Simeone's side were enjoying a period of success, bolstered by the presence of the young goalkeeper.
Why Caroline cheated on De Bruyne with Courtois
Caroline once stated that she sought revenge on De Bruyne through her relationship with Courtois because the goalkeeper was attentive, listened to her, and even cooked her a meal—something De Bruyne hadn’t done in three years.
She told Belgian publication Story Magazine via Daily Star:
"That evening, Thibaut offered me what I had not received during a three-year relationship with Kevin.
"With Thibaut, I could talk about anything and everything, and he had even prepared me a delicious meal. Kevin never did it for me."
The revelation reportedly left De Bruyne feeling "devastated" at the time; however, Caroline also asserted that De Bruyne had been unfaithful.
“Kevin cheated on me. 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. I was ready to give him another chance, but our relationship was never the same afterwards.
“I did not say anything for months because I couldn't say anything, as Kevin's parents said they would take legal action if I gave my story.
Rodri names the greatest of all time

This sentiment is shared by several of his current teammates, including Jack Grealish, who in a previous interview emphasised the ‘greatness’ of the Belgian midfielder.
