Kevin De Bruyne: How Manchester City Star Found His Beautiful Wife Michele Lacroix

• Kevin De Bruyne met his wife Michelle Lacroix through Twitter in 2014 but was too afraid to text her
• It took the intervention of one of his friends to send Michelle a message and the pair blossomed into a wonderful relationship
• Michelle has since taken De Bruyne's surname and they have three kids together

Interesting details have emerged of how Kevin De Bruyne was afraid to approach his wife Michele Lacroix when he first knew her.

De Bruyne has been in a relationship with the gorgeous model since 2014, but he wasn't so sure about texting her the way he is usually sure when bending pinpoint crosses into the opposition area.

The midfield maestro, one of the best in his trade, was at that time on loan at Werder Bremen after a disappointing spell at Chelsea. By his own admission, he was still not a big star when he tweeted about a game he had just played, as Daily Star reports.

Michele Lacroix liked the tweet and De Bruyne instantly liked her. He was too afraid to reach out to her, and it took one of his friends who sent Lacroix a message.

I was single at the time, and my friend noticed it. So he said, 'She looks like a nice girl, no? You should send her a message

The rest, as they say, is history. The Belgian exchanged texts with the ravishing model and walked down the aisle three years later. The couple has since been blessed with three kids, Milan, Rome and Suri.
