Wout Weghorst scores for Twente after announcing engagement

Wout Weghorst scored as FC Twente beat Cambuur 4-1 on Sunday, rounding off a memorable day on which he also announced his engagement. The striker struck Twente’s second goal of the match, a contribution he believes can help rebuild his confidence.

The 34-year-old acknowledged that he had found matters difficult in recent weeks. However, he felt his performances across Twente’s last two games had been a clear improvement. His goal against Cambuur provided another encouraging sign as he works towards better form.

Football was not the day’s main highlight for Weghorst. Earlier on Sunday, he revealed on social media that he and his long-term partner are engaged. According to VI, the forward said a morning prayer had inspired him to celebrate her publicly, despite usually preferring to keep such matters private.

Weghorst explained that the couple already have four children and that the time was right to take the next step. “Luckily, she said yes,” he told ESPN in comments reported by VI. The striker described the engagement as something special to anticipate, placing it above both his goal and Twente’s convincing victory in his reflections on the day.
