Dutch actress Peggy Vrijens has revealed that she and her partner of three years, Pepijn, deliberately live apart despite their long-term relationship. The couple maintains separate residences, a decision Vrijens attributes to her strong desire for independence and personal autonomy. [1]

In an interview with the magazine *Vriendin*, Vrijens discussed her unique approach to cohabitation, noting that she has never lived with a partner before entering her current relationship. This arrangement represents a significant departure from traditional living arrangements for many couples. [1]

The couple's connection was sparked during a mutual friend's birthday party, with their romantic bond solidifying during a trip to Paris. Since then, they have maintained a strong emotional connection while navigating their individual lives. [1]

To manage their schedules, Vrijens and Pepijn coordinate their meetings around their children's custody arrangements. Their children have adapted well to the situation and have developed a good relationship with one another, finding comfort in the stability of their separate household structures. [1]

Their lifestyle includes international elements, with past trips to destinations such as Paris and ongoing considerations for future moves abroad. [1]

Vrijens emphasized that her independence is a core part of her identity. She stated, I have never lived with a partner. I am very independent and used to doing my own thing. This mindset required her to find a balance between her personal wishes and those of her partner, a process she describes as sometimes challenging but ultimately rewarding. [1]

Looking to the future, Vrijens speculates that cohabitation might become feasible once her children leave home. She also expressed interest in alternative living arrangements, such as maintaining a primary residence while keeping a pied-à-terre, possibly in another country, which she finds appealing. [1]
