Wife Rike Nooitgedagt is a solid supporter, contributing to the success of the ‘rock’ center-back Van Dijk in Liverpool’s shirt.

Although he did not win the Best Men’s Player award at the FIFA The Best 2019 Gala, Virgil van Dijk had a very successful 2018/2019 season when he was voted PFA Player of the Year, with the achievement of winning the Champions League and finishing runner-up in the Premier League with Liverpool.

The solid back of the Dutch midfielder is the beautiful “other half” Rike Nooitgedagt. Van Dijk’s wife owns assets of up to 30 million euros.

It is known that Rike Nooitgedagt decided to give up her job running a fashion store, a job that helped her earn a lot of money in the Netherlands, to focus on taking care of her small family.

The couple met when Van Dijk was playing for Celtic in the Scottish Premier League. Rike Nooitgedagt told the media: “ I was a manager of a fashion store in the Netherlands. I loved my job but had to give it up to follow Van Dijk everywhere, in every city where he pursued his football career.”

Before moving to Southampton in 2015, Rike Nooitgedagt gave birth to a 4-year-old daughter named Nila. Since becoming a father, Virgil van Dijk’s career has been on the rise as he knows he always has the support of a very reliable backline.

It should be known that it was his wife Rike Nooitgedagt who forgave and encouraged Virgil van Dijk to start over, after the Dutch player was involved in an affair scandal with adult film actress Georgie Lyall while his wife was pregnant.

Indeed, Van Dijk’s wife is not inferior to any of Liverpool’s WAGs in terms of talent, personality and beauty.
