Rike Nooitgedagt has been a steadfast supporter, playing a significant role in the success of Liverpool’s star defender, Virgil van Dijk.

Despite Van Dijk missing out on the Best Men’s Player award at FIFA The Best 2019, he enjoyed an outstanding 2018/2019 season, being named PFA Player of the Year and winning the Champions League while finishing runner-up in the Premier League with Liverpool.

Behind the strength of the Dutch center-back is his wife, Rike, who has been a key figure in his life. She has an impressive fortune of 30 million euros and made the decision to leave her lucrative job managing a fashion store in the Netherlands to focus on their family.

The couple met when Van Dijk was playing for Celtic in the Scottish Premier League. Reflecting on that time, Rike said, “I was managing a fashion store in the Netherlands, and I loved my job, but I chose to leave it all behind to follow Van Dijk to every city he played in.”

Before their move to Southampton in 2015, Rike gave birth to their daughter, Nila.

Since becoming a father, Van Dijk’s career has soared, with his wife’s unwavering support playing a pivotal role. Rike even stood by Van Dijk after a difficult time, forgiving him after an affair scandal involving adult film actress Georgie Lyall while she was pregnant.

Rike Nooitgedagt is as talented, strong, and beautiful as any of the Liverpool WAGs, making her an invaluable partner to Van Dijk both on and off the field.
