Frank van der Lende became a father for the first time. His son Koos was born yesterday afternoon, the NPO 3FM DJ announced today in the last broadcast of the afternoon show. Welcome to the club!, which he makes together with Eva Koreman. Because of the birth, he had to miss the program.
“It’s going very well,” 33-year-old Van der Lende told his regular colleague by telephone. “We are going to love him very much and I hope the world stays beautiful for him. (…) I find it very strange not to be with you on this day. We experienced so much during the afternoon show, but it was also mainly us Eva, what we did.”
But where something ends, something new also begins, said Van der Lende. ,,Our afternoon show ends, but a new life begins. If we could have thought of that in advance…”
Van der Lende announced in the Glass House last December that he would become a father. ,,My dear fiance Hanna is pregnant and I am going to be a father. And I’m so excited about that. I really can’t wait,” he said. “It’s such a miracle, I’m so happy.”
Both Van der Lende and Koreman did not keep it dry. ,,It is so granted to you. For as long as I’ve known you, I’ve known how much you want children. And you had such a terrible year, your dad and your grandfather,” Koreman said in tears, referring, among other things, to the death of Van der Lende’s father in April. “That 2021 will bring this for you and Hanna and for your family, I think that’s so beautiful and you are so blessed.”
Frank and Eva heard earlier this year that their afternoon show has to stop. The two have been making the program since April 2020.
