Profile
Private individual

Rike Nooitgedagt is the wife of Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk. The couple have been together since around 2011.

She gave up her job in the Netherlands when Van Dijk joined Celtic in 2013, later saying she had to quit to keep following him. The family has since moved to Southampton and then Liverpool. They married in summer 2017, while he was at Southampton, and are reported to have four children.

Nooitgedagt keeps a low profile and no longer has a public Instagram account, though she occasionally joins him at award galas. Van Dijk has called her his 'second half', crediting her support through good and bad days. Speaking to Vogue in 2026, he described her as 'the foundation of it all' and said that, win or lose, he goes home and is 'back to being a dad'.
