Helmut Lotti: “I will never marry Marieke”

Although singer Helmut Lotti is very happy with his girlfriend, Marieke van Hooff (44), he will never marry her. He tells that this week in Story. “Out of respect for her,” it says. “The day I say we’re getting married, the whole world will laugh at her.”

50-year-old Lotti has already had three marriages. His first marriage (from which he has his daughter Messalina) ended after seven years, his second (with Carol Jane Poe) lasted only four years and his third (with journalist Jelle Van Riet) also ended after a relationship of ten years. .

Almost four years ago he met Marieke van Hooff, an actress, children’s book writer and the sister of former ‘Family’ actress Anneke van Hooff. “I’ve been very happy for three years and eight months,” said the singer. “We’re going to hold wood, cracked. Marieke and I laugh almost all the time, without being superficial. We are also serious about life and are concerned with the climate, for example. ”

Despite the love luck, the two will never get married. “The only reason to marry her is to keep her safe when I’m gone. But the best reason not to get married is my respect for her. The day I say we’re getting married the whole world will laugh at her: another one that fell for it. People don’t know us, but that would be the general tenor. It is much stronger not to get married, and Marieke is at peace with that. ”
