The tungsten-throwing lovebirds met in an online darts league and fell in love over their love for KFC, but now they have brought their time together to an end.
During the latest episode of the podcast Darts Draait Door, presenter Damian Vlottes let slip that Van de Voort knew their relationship had come to a close.
Vlottes said: "They broke up — you told me.'
To which Van de Voort replied: "True, yes. But what else do you want me to say about it?

"I don't work for a gossip magazine. I don't know the exact reason either. She told me and I didn't ask why.'
SunSport has approached both Sherrock and Menzies' camps for comment.
The news comes after Sherrock made her return to television on Sunday at the Women's World Matchplay.
Menzies was nowhere to be seen in the crowd as 'The Queen of the Palace' took to the stage at Winter Gardens.

The Scot is normally watching on for all of Sherrock's matches but wasn't present for her return despite being in Blackpool himself for the Men's World Matchplay earlier in week.
Sherrock reached the final, ultimately losing to Lisa Ashton, 54, after a string of eight missed darts at double.
Darts star Cameron Menzies has nightmare as he busts with incredible 180 and is left with head in hands
Meanwhile Menzies lost 10-2 to Danny Noppert in round one of the men's matchplay, exiting with the worst average (81.35) of the competition after busting with a 180.
Menzies and Sherrock used to practice together at home, with Menzies admitting Sherrock would often get the better of him.
He previously told Sky Sports: "We enjoy our practice together and she is a very class player.
"She has done well for darts in general and is banging in 90 averages and 100 averages, the same as a lot of women.
"I'm quite lucky I've got a very good partner who can play darts.
"It's good in the house unless she beats me and I've got to make the food. I don't like it when she beats me.
"I will support her left, right and centre. I am her biggest fan.
"I might be a bit strict, but I know how good she is. I've known her for a very long time and I know she is very, very good.
"She's taken me places I would never have experienced because of darts, so I'm a very lucky person."

The pair had met while playing in an online darts league, competing in a doubles team.
Following their initial online encounter, Menzies revealed that "It started off with a KFC''.
He said: 'I had known Fallon for years in darts and played doubles with her years ago.
''We met in an online league in Southampton.
''The rest is history as they say. It started off with a KFC.''
Former plumber Menzies, who fixed a sink on the day of his world championship appearance, was also a brilliant father figure to Fallon's son Rory from another relationship.
Sherrock was dubbed the 'Queen of the Palace' after becoming first woman to win at the World Championship back in 2019, ultimately reaching the third round.
The 31-year-old announced last month that she is taking a year-long break from darts after battling with health issues.
She said: "I just need to sort myself out.
"I need to get myself well again and then once I do, the sky is the limit because I know I can do it and I know how many hours I've got to put in, what standard I've got to play. So I can do it, I just need the energy for it first."

‘I'm a wreck, everything hurts' – Man City boss Pep Guardiola reveals his plan to quit football and ‘focus on myself'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PEP GUARDIOLA says he is a 'wreck' as the Manchester City boss opened up on the physical toll that competing for major trophies has had on him. The Spaniard is desperate to restore City back to the top when the Premier League kicks off next month after a spell of four league titles in a row ended in failure last season. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Pep Guardiola opened up on the physical toll that competing for major trophies has had on him Credit: Getty 5 Guardiola caused concern last season after scratching his head in frustration 5 According to close friends, Guardiola's mood is said to range from 'euphoric' to 'depressed' Credit: Getty 5 Guardiola showed off his new moustache this week Credit: Play Dream Team now!

According to close friends, Guardiola's mood is said to range from 'euphoric' to 'depressed' as the 54-year-old reiterated his plans to take a break from management after life at the Etihad. Guardiola even half-joked being boss of the blue half of Manchester has taken years off his life when he said: 'Quite a few, especially if things are going badly. 'As I am now I'm 75 years old! I'm a wreck, everything hurts right now. 'So, if it's my biological age… maybe if I take the test, I'll come out younger. I hope to be better than I am now in a while. 'If things are going badly, the nights are harder, the day-to-day is harder. "The job of a coach, and I'm not just saying this for myself but for all my colleagues, is 24/7. If not, you won't get through it. 'The pressure on your shoulders is enormous, and you need people to lend a hand to put things into perspective, above all. 'You have to try to achieve stability when you have so many ups and downs and you're up to your neck in everything. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 'A friend of mine, who I think defined me very well, once told me that I have three states as a person: euphoric, depressed, and absent. Those are my three states. "So the point is to try to stay in the middle of these three.' Guardiola left scratching his head as City blow 3-0 lead against Feyenoord Guardiola showed how the stress got to him while City did not win any major silverware last term. Before the Club World Cup, the ex-Barcelona and Bayern chief revealed he struggled to eat during a miserable campaign. And as he heads into a tenth season in charge of City, Guardiola has the hunger to reclaim that winning feeling. He told GQ magazine in Spain: 'I'm delighted to have failed. As I am now I'm 75 years old! I'm a wreck, everything hurts right now. Pep Guardiola 'I love failures. In this society where everything has to be perfect, where you have to post your food on Instagram… 'Oh, how good, how happy I am'. 'Every day we have to prove that we're happy. Well, yes, I'm sad, I fail and I lose. So?' Despite a struggle to qualify for the Champions League, Guardiola still signed an extension to his contract that now runs for a further two seasons. 5 Guardiola plans to take a break after his next spell with City Credit: Getty But he vows that by the end of the 2026-27 campaign he'll be calling at least a temporary halt to the career – as he did after leaving Barca before joining Bayern in Germany a year later. He said: 'I know that after this stage with City I'm going to stop, that's for sure. It's decided, more than decided. 'I don't know how long I'll stop for… a year, two years, three years, five, 10, 15, I don't know. 'But I will leave after this spell with City because I need to stop and focus on myself.' I know that after this stage with City I'm going to stop, that's for sure. It's decided, more than decided. Pep Guardiola Guardiola has this summer brought in new signings Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, Sverre Nypan and James Trafford as part of his re-build of a squad last season that also aged badly. And as City return to pre–season training he says he's up for the fight again – no matter his emotional struggles, adding: 'The important thing is to give it your all and do it well. 'And I haven't given up on that… next year I'm going to do better. That's what it's all about.'

Taylor Swift shoots ‘top secret music video in Los Angeles so covert even staff on set were not allowed to hear song'
An insider spoke to The U.S. Sun about the pop megastar's plans READY FOR IT? Taylor Swift shoots 'top secret music video in Los Angeles so covert even staff on set were not allowed to hear song' TAYLOR Swift may be set to surprise fans with new music as she was filming in secret in Los Angeles this week despite her reported break from performing, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal. The singer has been enjoying some much-needed time off with boyfriend Travis Kelce after her record-breaking Eras Tour wrapped.

The Instagram Taylor Nation, run by her social team, also fueled speculation they're counting down using her albums, which fans believe could conclude at the beginning of August. Now, an insider has claimed Taylor is definitely gearing up for her next chapter after more than 500 days. "Taylor was in Los Angeles on Thursday filming a new music video," an insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun. Advertisement Read more on Taylor Swift ALL LOVED UP Taylor Swift sparks rumors she's engaged to Travis Kelce with telling detail "It was so top secret that those working on set were not even allowed to hear the song, only the beat. "Even though she's been taking time off from touring and working a lot to spend time with Travis, there are still projects she's working on, which will no doubt please fans." The U.S. Sun has reached out to Taylor's rep for comment. Taylor's last release was The Tortured Poets Department, her eleventh studio album, which dropped on April 19, 2024, by Republic Records. Advertisement SOCIAL COUNTDOWN Fans have been following Taylor's social posts desperate for information on the next era. One on X posted this week, "i absolutely NEED the feeling of pressing play on a new taylor album at midnight soon." Taylor Swift and Dakota Johnson enjoy night out with rarely-seen brothers Austin and Jesse in NYC A second wrote on the site, "i need a new taylor swift album right now i'm so parched." "I am so excited to see what this Taylor Swift countdown (or I guess count up?) leads to!!!" a third added. Advertisement Taylor's next era comes after she bought back the rights to her first six albums, including music videos, concert films, artwork, and unreleased songs. This acquisition, reportedly costing $360 million, reportedly ended a long-standing battle for control of her master recordings when her former label, Big Machine Label Group, sold them to Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings. She alleged the deal went through without offering her the chance to purchase them. Scooter then sold the masters and all the rights to Taylor's tracks to Shamrock Holdings in 2020. Advertisement Taylor, 35, confirmed in a statement that she now owns her back catalog once more. In a long letter, Taylor said, "All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me. All of my music videos. All the concert films. "The album art and the photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic and the madness. Every single era. My entire life's work. MASTERS BATTLE "To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it. Advertisement "All I ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached. "No partnership, with full autonomy. I will be forever grateful to everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me." In a post to Tumblr in June 2019, Taylor told fans that bosses refused to sell her masters to her unless she agreed to be locked into a new recording contract with them. Taylor wrote, "For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and 'earn' one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. Advertisement "I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future." Taylor vowed to take on the system and announced she would re-record her first six albums; Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation. Her last re-release was 1989, but she now doesn't need to re-record her album Reputation. During Taylor's work break, she has been spending quality time with her boyfriend Travis, 35. Advertisement He shared a series of photos this week of their summer adventures, giving fans a rare glimpse into their relationship. Travis is now back in training camp with the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the 2025 season. 6 Taylor Swift performing close to the end of the Eras tour Credit: Getty 6 Travis Kelce posted a series of photos showing him and Taylor Swift on Instagram Credit: INSTAGRAM @killatrav Advertisement

Lionesses were in crisis going into Euro 2025 as critics turned on Sarina Wiegman… England boss is owed an apology
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SARINA WIEGMAN is owed an apology. By any and all who doubted her ahead of this, a third straight women's Euros triumph for the 55-year-old. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Sarina Wiegman was doubted heading into Euro 2025 Credit: Alamy 5 Now the three-time Euros winner is owed an apology Credit: Getty 5 Mary Earps was ruled out of the Euros Credit: Getty 5 As was Fran Kirby Credit: Getty Wiegman, cemented now as one of the greatest managers in the history of women's football, described Euro 2025 as the most chaotic tournament she had ever experienced. But even before England arrived in Switzerland to defend their title, the Dutchwoman was facing intense scrutiny. After the influential duo of Mary Earps and Millie Bright ruled themselves out just weeks before the tournament and Fran Kirby retired from international football after being told she would not go to the Euros, faith in Wiegman was on the wane. Crisis had struck and many questioned if the woman in charge could handle the fallout and whether she had caused it. READ MORE ON LIONESSES ROARING HOME Lionesses pose on red carpet outside Downing Street after lifting Euros trophy Had she lost her touch? Was she too direct or brutally honest with her players? Those questions looked foolish as the Lionesses flew back home yesterday, trophy in hand for a second time. Wiegman's players were in awe of her in Switzerland, a manager who kept her cool with the team on the brink more than once. The ex-Netherlands boss told the squad they had almost killed her twice, with last-gasp comebacks against Sweden and Italy in the quarter-final and semi-final. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Wiegman had to stand and watch three spells of extra-time — the first time any side has gone the distance in three games at a women's Euros. She also had to endure two penalty shootouts, which both swung dramatically from one side to the other. 'This is the most chaotic and ridiculous tournament we have played' says Sarina Wiegman Wiegman insisted there was no lack of belief during those nervy knockout ties — but the manager did admit there were brief moments when she thought they were going home. While there was a calm exterior throughout every close call, she was 'having a heart attack' inside. Despite that, she always found the right words for the moment. Delivering emotional and inspirational speeches when they were needed most. Those messages all had an edge. The Lionesses boss said she could not repeat some of the language from her team-talks, while sales of the 'b**tches get s*** done' washbags will surely skyrocket. Having kept her cool throughout, the moment Chloe Kelly fired home the winning shootout penalty against Spain in the final, things finally cracked. Wiegman said: 'I just started running. I'd been screaming for three minutes. I just could not believe that we won it. 'When she went to take that penalty, her conviction again — and she just loves these moments.' Players were shown clips of their finest moments out here, one last confidence boost to get over the line when hope appeared lost. Wiegman showed faith in the likes of teenage striker Michelle Agyemang unknown to all but the most ardent Women's Super League fans before this tournament. She's bloody amazing. She's an incredible woman. What she's done for this country, we should all be so grateful for. Chloe Kelly on Sarina Wiegman Agyemang, 19, is a new favourite, scoring the leveller against Sweden after England were 2-0 down, before the most dramatic of injury-time equalisers to set up the semi-final win against Italy in extra-time. But the resolve and determination which has defined England's heroines all stems from their coach, also a Euros winner with her native Holland in 2017, and her staff. There are so many of this squad who have faced adversity, did not think they would be here or had struggles throughout the tournament. Kelly, England's finals icon, feared she would not even make the squad after falling out of favour at Manchester City earlier in the season. But Wiegman stuck with her. A loan move to Arsenal followed, where she won the Champions League with victory over Barcelona — before scoring or assisting in every Euros knockout game and hitting the winning spot-kick. Kelly said of the Lionesses boss: 'She's bloody amazing. She's an incredible woman. What she's done for this country, we should all be so grateful for. 'What she's done for me individually, she gave me hope when I probably didn't have any. 'She gave me an opportunity to represent my country again. 'What she's done for the women's game, not just in England, in the Netherlands she's done it, she's taken it to a whole other level. 'Are you sure?' 'The work doesn't go unnoticed from the staff behind her, they're incredible people.' Jess Carter was dropped for the semi-final against Italy after some shaky performances. And the Chelsea defender's misery was compounded by some horrific racist abuse from online trolls. But Wiegman showed the faith to restore her in Basel — and Carter delivered the performance of a lifetime against Spain. The centre-back, 27, said: 'We went into training and she sat me down and said, 'I'm thinking of starting you on Sunday'. I said, 'OK, thanks'. 'After, I was thinking, 'Are you sure?' To have that faith from Sarina to put me back in the squad and that she believed I could help this team to a trophy was amazing. 'It gave me a lot of confidence going into this game.' Wiegman revealed ahead of the final that she had fallen in love with England. There can be few who will argue the feeling is not mutual.
