2025 will be a big year for VRT face Danira Boukhriss. Not only does she return to the small screen after a year, but she also leaves her beloved Brussels to live in Mechelen with her boyfriend and actor Ward Kerremans and their son. “Mechelen has many advantages, especially for parents with young children.”
She herself lost her heart to Brussels, but now that her son Naïm has arrived, her boyfriend was able to convince her to move to Mechelen. “Ward is a Malinois and he convinced me to return to his home country,” says the presenter in an interview with The Latest News. “With pain in my heart, because I love Brussels very much. I will miss it there, but Mechelen also has many advantages, especially for parents with young children.”
“There are fewer traffic jams, there is always greenery within walking distance, there are many playgrounds…,” she explains. “In addition, we now live closer to our parents, which can also be useful if we need last-minute care for Naïm.”
Return to VRT
Danira also returns to Flemish TV screens. Her last TV appearance dates from the Kastaars, last year in January. Afterwards, she was seven months pregnant and, on doctor’s orders, spent eight weeks in the couch to prevent premature birth. She gave birth to her son Naïm at the end of March and has since devoted herself fully to motherhood.
