Michael van Gerwen spotted hugging mystery woman outside hotel hours after ex-wife dropped pregnancy bombshell

Michael van Gerwen has found himself back in the spotlight, but not for his darts alone. The Dutch star was recently photographed hugging a woman outside a hotel. The moment came only hours after his ex-wife revealed she is pregnant with her new partner. The images quickly caught attention and sparked fresh speculation around Van Gerwen’s private life, which has been under intense focus in recent months.Van Gerwen and his former partner, Daphne Govers separated seven months ago. At the time, they shared their decision with sadness and confirmed they were going their separate ways. Since then, both have moved forward with their lives. Reports confirmed that the woman seen with Michael Van Gerwen was not a romantic partner. Sources say she is the wife of one of his friends. Still, the timing of the images raised eyebrows, as they surfaced shortly after Govers spoke publicly about her pregnancy.In an interview with Shownieuws, Daphne Govers explained that the pregnancy came as a complete shock. She said doctors had previously told her that conceiving naturally would be almost impossible. Finding out she was expecting turned her world upside down at first, especially while caring for her other children. Over time, however, she said she accepted it and now sees the baby as a welcome blessing.She also addressed her past with Van Gerwen. Govers admitted that she made a mistake and said this was already known. She explained that she prefers to keep details private. When asked how Van Gerwen might feel about the pregnancy, she said she could not speak for him. She suggested he was likely unhappy but stressed she truly did not know his feelings.Meanwhile, Van Gerwen has tried to step back from the chaos. He took time away from darts over the summer and focused on personal space. He attended major music festivals like Tomorrowland and traveled to Ibiza, where he watched DJ Martin Garrix perform.Back on the darts stage, he has received public support. During his first-round match at Alexandra Palace, cameras showed two close friends cheering him on. Both women are well-known on social media and Dutch entertainment platforms.Van Gerwen is now firmly focused on the World Darts Championship. He remains in contention for the $1.3 million prize. He is set to face Gary Anderson in a high-profile fourth-round match.
