Leontine Ruiters 'head over heels' in love with John: 'And Marco is incredibly happy for me'

Leontine Ruiters has publicly shared her newfound happiness in a relationship with John Huiberts, describing herself as deeply in love. The 58-year-old presenter noted that she and Huiberts previously attempted a relationship in 2022, but they were not ready at the time. Ruiters believes their connection is now stronger because she has since worked through a difficult period involving depression. She appreciates Huiberts for his grounded nature and their ability to spend constant time together comfortably.

Regarding her former husband, Marco Borsato, Ruiters stated that he is very happy for her. The pair, who divorced in 2020 after nearly 22 years of marriage, maintain a supportive post-divorce relationship. Ruiters emphasized that while their bond has changed, they remain there for one another during challenging times. Although she is open about her current romantic success, Ruiters intends to keep most details private to protect her partner, who is not accustomed to the public spotlight.
