Dating & Relationship Status
Details about Kevin De Bruyne’s romantic life are generally kept private. However, it is widely reported in media outlets that he is married and values his family’s privacy. Since celebrity news coverage tends to focus on his professional life, specific dating or relationship updates are rare and not frequently publicized in mainstream sources.
De Bruyne's mother is Belgian. She grew up in London, after her Flemish parents moved to England for work reasons. Only when she met Kevin's father, Herwig, did she return to Belgium.
De Bruyne's parents settled in Drongen, a sub-municipality of the city of Ghent, in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. Aside from Dutch, his mother tongue, De Bruyne also speaks English, French and German.
As a child, De Bruyne and his parents regularly visited his grandparents in London. At the time of his move to Chelsea in 2012, De Bruyne stated: "We used to go every year at Christmas and during school holidays. It's my second home."
De Bruyne's autobiography, titled Keep It Simple, was published by Borgerhoff & Lamberigts in October 2014, following an incident between De Bruyne and his compatriot, footballer Thibaut Courtois, in which De Bruyne's then-girlfriend left him for Courtois. De Bruyne wrote in his autobiography, "Although I still cannot believe what Courtois has done, we continue to work together professionally."
In 2023, De Bruyne and his wife were named as ‘godparents’ of the Ronald McDonald Children’s Fund, which ensures that parents with hospitalized children will be able to stay nearby.

Klaus Allofs said that City had made an "astonishing" wage offer to De Bruyne.
On 21 September 2020, De Bruyne scored and assisted in a 3–1 away win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in City's first game of the season.
