How did rejection from the foster home become the driving force for her son?
Kevin is one of the most admired and world's greatest players, but his journey was not a piece of cake, and above all, it was the rejection that shaped his career.
His journey began at 14 when he left home to play football. After one year at the boarding house, he lived with a foster family that the club paid for.
As a shy and introverted person, the only way he expressed himself was through football, and he was happy with that, and most of the time stayed by himself.
He thought everything was ok, but it wasn't.
After waving goodbye to his foster family, hoping to see them again, he returned to his parents' home, but when he reached there, he found his mother crying.
She told him that his foster family didn't want him to return because of who he was.
She said the family told him he was too quiet, and they found him difficult to interact with.
The only thing that stuck was "Because of who you are," and it kept hovering over his head.
He was so determined that he thought he wasn't coming back home a failure, no matter what.
He returned to Genk. He had so much fire inside him that he didn't stop. On a Friday night, he started on the bench and scored five goals in one half.
Within two months, he earned a spot on the first team. The club was again ready to pay for the foster family.
The foster family wanted him to return, but he was so hurt that he told them, "No. You threw me in the garbage. Now, I am doing well, and you want me back".
That experience was the fuel in his career.
Who is her son married to?
Kevin has been happily married to his wife Michele De Bruyne since 2017. The couple first met on Twitter in 2014.
During an interview with the Player's Tribune, Kevin reflected on the time when he first met his future wife.
According to him, he had a few thousand followers on his Twitter account at the time because he was still on loan at Werder Bremen.
He tweeted something over the match, and Michele favored it.
He was single at the time, and his friend noticed it and suggested he send a message, which he denied.
"I am supposed to be this big footballer, and I didn't even have the heart slide into my future wife's DM! I didn't dare", he said.
Thankfully, his friend hit the send button. They got to know each other by texting for a few months. Kevin credited Michele for changing his life in so many ways.
Kevin popped the question in December 2016 at the Eifel Tower before walking down the aisle in Sorrento, Itathe, on the 26th of June 2017.
The couple is the parents of three beautiful kids, two sons, Mason Milian and Rome De Bruyne, born in 2016 and 2018, respectively, and a daughter, Suri, born in 2020.
