Nila’s mother prioritized love above her work.
Nila Van Dijk is the first child of Virgil Van Dijk and Rike Nooitgedagt. The couple has known one other since Virgil’s first club in Groningen. Rike was a fashion sales manager in Holland at the time. She left work in 2013 to assist Virgil in his pursuit with Celtic, and the couple relocated to Glasgow.
Premature birth of Nila
Nila was due in September 2014, and Rike was anticipating her. At the same time, he was called up to the Holland Football team as a senior player. To avoid missing his much-anticipated debut match, he planned for their daughter to be born prematurely. Unfortunately, he was not chosen for the match, and he had to wait until October 2015 to make his debut. Even though the delivery was smooth and successful, most supporters, including Netherlands Coach Guus Hiddink, chastised him for his bad judgment.
The dispute between Virgil and his father, Ron Van Dijk
Virgil’s parents divorced when he was 12 years old. His father remarried, and his new wife was quite dominating towards Virgil. Following his parent’s marriage dissolution, Virgil resided with his father, while his brother and sister stayed with his mother. But, after a time, he opted to return to his mother and cut all ties with his father.
This is why he likes to write his name on his jersey rather than his family name. Even Virgil’s younger brother, a businessman now, and her sister abandoned their father’s surname in favor of their mother’s maiden name, Fo Sieeuw.
Virgil’s Operation
A year later, after signing his first professional deal with FC Groningen, he had an appendix rupture so severe that it would have killed him. He was hospitalized for 12 days and blamed the illness on his bad eating habits. He needed four months to recuperate. He even made a will in his mother’s name. Virgil is now regarded as one of the most costly defenders.
Virgil cheated on his wife, Rike.
When his wife, Rike, was pregnant with their daughter Nila, Virgil cheated on her. He reportedly promised to sleep with Porn actress Georgie Lyall. They met at Parkhead after he celebrated Celtic’s league triumph. They were in contact, according to sources, a day before his victory.
When their chat text was revealed, it was confirmed that they had agreed to meet in the hotel. There was photographic evidence of Virgil entering and exiting the hotel with Georgia. Georgie later called it off, and Virgil opted to be truthful with his wife.
Net worth
Nila’s net worth has yet to be calculated since she is still young. Her father, Virgil van Dijk, is estimated to have a net worth of around $20 million as of January 2024. He amasses his riches via various businesses such as Dolce & Gabbana, Nike, and others.
