Presenter Gallyon van Vessem has shared her first photos with a new partner, Ewout, following a period of personal transition.
The 112 Vandaag presenter shared the images on Instagram, revealing that the couple has been together for six months. According to RTL, the two live near one another, with Ewout residing diagonally across from her.
The new relationship follows a divorce that occurred last year after sixteen years of marriage. The presenter previously shared details regarding the split in an interview with Beau Monde, noting that the dissolution of the marriage was unexpected.
“It came as a complete surprise to me,” Shownieuws reported, citing her previous comments.
“My ex-husband indicated a few months ago that he no longer wanted to continue with our marriage. I still tried to save what could be saved, but that failed,” she said.
Van Vessem had attempted to use relationship therapy to preserve the marriage, but the effort was unsuccessful. She said that while she initially sought the reasons for the breakup within herself, she eventually stopped doing so after receiving constant confirmation that the issues were not her fault.
“We were also happy for sixteen years. I never noticed any dissatisfaction from him,” she said, according to Shownieuws.
“I looked for the reason in myself at first, but I stopped because I kept getting confirmation that this had nothing to do with me. Now I think: fuck it. We were happy and if something wasn’t right, I would have liked to have heard it, and then we might have been able to save our marriage. But well, that’s not how it turned out,” she said.
Following the divorce, the presenter moved into a new home with her daughter, Julie. While her ex-husband continues to see their daughter regularly, the former presenter said that the family unit they once knew has changed.
In September 2025, van Vessem told Beau Monde that she was not yet ready for a new romance because the divorce was still fresh, though she added, “But ultimately, I will certainly get the space for that.”
Van Vessem’s television career includes a debut in 1995 on Hart van Nederland, a program she presented until her final broadcast on October 21, 2019. She has since become a regular face on 112 Vandaag, where she and colleague Ellie Lust recently celebrated a five-year anniversary earlier this year. Her recent television appearances also include participating in Stars On Stage last year and the program Het Perfecte Plaatje in 2024.
