Jackie Groenen, the celebrated footballer, recently announced her engagement to her longtime boyfriend, Bram. The 30-year-old midfielder, known for her prowess on the pitch and her role with Paris Saint-Germain, took to Instagram to share the joyous news with her fans and followers.
"A very big YES for this whole week," wrote Groenen, encapsulating her excitement. She accompanied the heartfelt message with a series of photos, capturing the intimate moment of her partner getting down on one knee to propose. One of the images showcases her stunning engagement ring, sparkling brightly as it draws attention on social media.
Groenen and Bram have been together for five years, yet the couple has been quite private about their relationship. Despite being one of the prominent faces of the Dutch national team, Groenen has kept her personal life out of the limelight, reflecting on this choice during her conversation with Helden last year. She shared, "We’re not hiding it, but we don’t need to flaunt our relationship everywhere." This restraint has only enhanced the excitement surrounding their recent engagement announcement.
The couple made their home together in Paris, where Groenen has committed to playing for PSG through 2027 after extending her contract earlier this year. Life has been full of highs for the midfielder since she achieved great success with the Dutch national team, including winning the UEFA Women’s Euro 2017 as hosts and reaching the FIFA Women’s World Cup final two years later. Fans of the sport and their loved ones have been quick to respond to her engagement news, with congratulatory messages pouring in from both teammates and supporters alike.
Among those offering their warm wishes are her compatriots from the national team, with players like Daniëlle van de Donk, Romée Leuchter, and Daphne van Domselaar expressing their happiness under Groenen’s Instagram post.
While the engagement is certainly reason for celebration, it also hints at the many events to come. Receiving the ring from Bram marks the beginning of wedding planning, and with the wedding possibly set for 2026 due to venue availability, it is sure to be quite the event. Fans who were hoping for a chance to see her donning wedding attire will have to be patient, but the anticipation builds. "It’s not just about Jackie anymore; it’s about the love she shares with Bram, and we all want to be part of it," remarked one dedicated follower.
Indeed, Groenen's followers can expect continued glimpses of her life as she shares snippets of her preparations along with her typical mix of athletic imagery. Her Instagram account serves not only as a window to her personal life but also as inspiration for many who look up to her as both an athlete and role model.
Groenen's plans for the future reflect both excitement and challenges as she balances the rigors of her football career with the joys of planning not just for the wedding but also the demanding schedule of professional sports. "I can’t wait to be able to share even more special moments with everyone in the future, including the wedding day which will definitely be beautiful," she shared with her fans.
With love and commitment on display, Jackie Groenen has shown another side of her life beyond the pitch, leaving fans eager for what is next for the beloved football star. The upcoming wedding may be years away, but each day leads closer to what promises to be one of the highlights of her life.
