Caroline Lijnen, a Belgian television presenter and journalist, was linked to Courtois for years.

A close associate told Le Soir that the pair had "gone their separate ways," though no official statement was made.

Why the Speculation Now?

The resurgence in interest stems from Courtois’ high-profile transfer to Inter Miami in 2024 and his continued dominance in Major League Soccer.
