D66 Politician Rob Jetten to Marry Argentinian Hockey Star Nicolás Keenan
Dutch politician Rob Jetten found love in the aisles of a supermarket, proposing to Argentinian hockey international Nicolás Keenan last week.
The pair, who celebrate a three-year anniversary this year, will be tying the knot soon, scheduling their nuptials for when the weather warms up. While they haven’t settled on an exact location, they’ve decided on a picturesque European haven for their special day.
A TikTok Bromance & a Grocery Store Meeting
Keenan, who rose to national prominence as a hockey player, had recognized Jetten from a viral TikTok trend highlighting a playful “bromance” between the Dutch politician and fellow legislator Jesse Klaver of GroenLinks.
“That’s why he knew who I was as an Argentinian,” Jetten shared with a laugh, recalling their initial encounter.
The chance meeting took place at a local Albert Heijn supermarket, where Keenan spotted the recognizable politician. They connected through Instagram, and from there, a love story blossomed.
Overcoming Challenges, Together
Keenan’s journey to the altar hasn’t been without its hurdles. He faced uncertainty about his ability to play in the Olympic Games due to a significant injury. Fortunately, Keenan persevered, demonstrating remarkable resilience and ultimately securing his spot on the team.
This challenging period brought Jetten and Keenan even closer. While Jetten was battling his own illness at home during this time, he discovered a deeper connection with his then-boyfriend. “Then I thought: this might really be the one,” Jetten reflected.
A Wedding Planned With Enthusiasm
News of the engagement has been met with jubilation, particularly from Keenan’s mother. “My Argentinian mother-in-law is very happy, because she started planning the wedding last week,” Jetten revealed, showcasing the celebratory mood engulfing both families.
While the exact date and specific European locale remain under wraps, one thing is certain: Jetten and Keenan are eagerly anticipating starting their lives together as a married couple.
