NOS news presenter Afke Boven has announced her engagement to her partner, Hasper, a commander at Rijkswaterstaat. The 45-year-old presenter shared the news on social media, featuring photographs of Hasper proposing on one knee and showcasing her engagement ring. The couple has been together for approximately eight years after first meeting during a sailing competition known as skûtsjesilen. Boven was covering the event for Omrop Fryslân while Hasper was participating in the races.

The announcement was received with congratulations from her followers after she posted the images with a brief, lighthearted caption. This public confirmation marks a significant personal milestone for the journalist as she prepares for her upcoming marriage to the 50-year-old Rijkswaterstaat official.
