Iris van Enthoven experienced panic attacks after her thirteen-year relationship ended during her pregnancy. The presenter reveals this in the podcast Lightless Lounge.
In January, Enthoven became a mother for the first time. Shortly afterward, her relationship ended. She still feels guilty toward her son Maup because of the breakup with the father. “That’s something I’m constantly thinking about. Because I think: gee, what’s that like for Maup?” she says emotionally.
According to the 31-year-old presenter, she was mainly “very sad” when she was pregnant. “Will the baby notice that I’ve been very sad? And that I’ve had a lot of panic attacks? That can really keep me awake at night.”
In the meantime, Enthoven has found love again. She had known him for a while. “We said to each other: ‘You say to each other ‘in good times and in bad times’.’ We’ve already had the worst, it can only get better,” she says.
“As a result, all the conversations were immediately very deep and honest. Very vulnerable. But also a lot of sadness and a lot of crying. That is completely allowed with him.”
Enthoven is known as a vlogger and presenter for, among others, RTL and Radio 538. In 2022, she participated in the program Kamp Van Koningsbrugge. A year later, she appeared in Expeditie Robinson.
