Career
After being elected the Netherlands' Sexiest Female in 2003, she started a relationship with then-AFC Ajax footballer Rafael van der Vaart. Due in part to the fame from their individual careers, they soon become the Netherlands' most famous "soccer couple". Their fame grew after their marriage on 10 June 2005 and live coverage of the wedding on SBS, with the broadcast gaining high ratings in the Netherlands; van der Vaart took Rafael's last name.
