COLUMN. Geert Hoste about Regi’s marriage: “Divorce programs are even better for the viewing figures” | Showbiz

Hello everyoneThe happily married living legend Regi Penxten and his brand new wife have separated. After just six weeks of marriage! That’s bad. Even worse is that they didn’t know that yet. Moreover, one of the two is pregnant. And they didn’t know that either. They had to read it on the internet, so I read on the internet. Experience that!

That you find out during the honeymoon, after having sex. In the past, you would roll over on your back and smoke a cigarette together. In the clouds. Now you can continue surfing after sex. Everyone takes their smartphone and looks at the incoming messages, apps, texts, alerts or taps to the next video. So that’s pretty much what it must have been like for Regi and his bride. While surfing they read that their peak was already over. And that there is a little one on the way. Hopefully it’s fake news. But I’ve thought that a few times in the past. Before you know it, they are sitting at ‘Gert’s table’ muttering that it was never the intention. And that they were fed up.

There is also a chance that I got caught again. And that this is an announcement for a sequel to the popular television series about Regi’s weddings in Genk and Cape Town. Because divorce programs are even better for the ratings than saying yes. And, who knows, maybe afterwards live the birth of it child. I’m guessing around Christmas Day.

Famous people experience one surprise after another when they surf a bit. Eddy Planckaert appears to give investment tips and Karen Damen teaches Dutch elocution. ‘Big Brother’ miracle Ellen Dufour saw online that she has already died several times. Goedele Liekens is single again because there was no adultery in her relationship. Singer Christoff must have burst out laughing when he read that he wants to sing the Lord’s Prayer for the Pope. Who comes up with something like that?

I study with amazement every new biography that artificial intelligence and ChatGPT come up with about me. I have already received more different dates of birth than Maaike Cafmeyer pornographic text messages. And then I say nothing about the various wives who were virtually assigned to me. Bus builder Van Hool can start up again if I want to get all my in-laws to the city hall with a coach.

The internet is currently throwing its hat at it. Like a drunken woman looking at Mathieu van der Poel’s rear wheel. No shot, always wrong.
