Manchester United defender Matthijs de Ligt and his recently estranged wife, Annekee Molenaar, have ignited speculation of a possible reconciliation after Annekee left a heart emoji under a photo of the footballer on Instagram. The interaction,captured by the Dutch juice channel RealityFBI,has sent fans into a frenzy.

The photograph in question depicts De Ligt in action during a Manchester United match. Annekee’s simple yet powerful response – a red heart – immediately drew attention, prompting RealityFBI to share a screenshot with the caption, “That looks promising 👀.”

This exchange is notably noteworthy given the couple’s official separation, finalized just two months ago on June 29th. RealityFBI initially reported the end of the marriage after a little over a year of wedlock. Reports indicated growing tensions between the pair, culminating in the last-minute cancellation of a lavish wedding celebration in italy.

Sources close to the couple revealed that De Ligt and Annekee were already experiencing difficulties prior to the canceled wedding. De Ligt was reportedly vacationing in Barbados with teammate Joshua Zirkzee while Annekee spent time elsewhere. Concerns regarding Annekee’s social media content, described as “Spiriwiri content,” were cited as a contributing factor to the strain on their relationship.

As the divorce proceedings began, De Ligt and Annekee have largely maintained separate public profiles. De ligt was recently spotted enjoying time in Ibiza,while Annekee has remained active on social media,documenting her life post-separation. Prior to their marriage, Annekee was a well-known influencer in the Netherlands, focusing on lifestyle and fashion content.
