Dylan Teuns opens up about difficult decision to split from long-term partner- "We didn't want to grow apart, and yet it happened"

Dylan Teuns has shared some disheartening news with his followers, announcing his separation from his partner of 12 years.

He shared the news on his social media, "I'm not the best writer, but I would like to tell this myself. Lies and I shared joys and sorrows for 12 years. Two years ago, we thought it would be forever. Still, a terrible decision has been made. We didn't want to grow apart, and yet it happened."

He chooses not to disclose the grounds for their breakup. “I can only be grateful to Elisabeth for every step she walked next to me. We are both going through a difficult period. To keep the peace, I share the news in this way so that we can save our energy and focus on the future. I wish Lies all the best."

While his personal circumstances may not be ideal, he is not going to hinder his career and will be taking part in the Amstel Gold Race. "On a sporting level, I am starting my favorite period. As always, I want to give my best and enjoy the sport that is close to my heart,” concluded the Belgian rider.
