Kevin De Bruyne revealed he met his future wife after sending her a direct message on Twitter.The Manchester City ace is considered one of the best midfielders in the world and is leading Pep Guardiola’s men to an unprecedented quadruple.However, before finding fame, the Belgium international was admittedly introverted and even struggles to form close bonds with his teammates.2

Kevin De Bruyne has blossomed into one of the best midfielders in the world

Although he is firm friends with Raheem Sterling now (despite thinking he was a ‘d******d’ at first) the 27-year-old admits he owes much of his newfound confidence after sliding into his future wife’s DMs while on loan from Chelsea.“Everything changed then,” De Bruyne told the Player’s Tribune. “But not just because of football. It was also because I had my (future) wife by my side.“She helped me grow in ways that Ive probably never expressed out loud even to her. This is such an embarrassing story that I hesitate to tell it! But since I promised you honesty, then I guess I have to. And its pretty funny, anyway.“It started with a tweet. I only had a few thousand followers at the time, because I was still on loan at Werder Bremen. So I tweeted something about a match or whatever, and this pretty girl favorited it.2

De Bruyne spent the 2012-13 season on loan at Werder Bremen from Chelsea

“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.’“And I literally said to him, ‘No, no, no. Come on. People dont like me. They dont get me. She wont respond.’“So he grabbed my phone and started tapping out a message. He showed me the phone and said, ‘Come on, can I hit send?’“I was probably on the floor, cringing, but for some reason I said, ‘O.K. fine, send it.’ “Says it all, no? Im supposed to be this big footballer, and I didnt even have the heart to slide into my future wifes DMs! I didnt dare!“But thankfully, he sent the message for me, and she responded. We got to know each other over text for a few months. Its a lot easier for me once I get to know someone, so after that, I was good. It really was a beautiful thing.“She changed my life in so many ways. Honestly, I dont know what I would do without her.
