Charlotte Van Looy discusses open relationship with Ruben Van Gucht

Author Charlotte Van Looy has spoken openly about her open relationship with Ruben Van Gucht, noting that the arrangement was a mutual decision rather than a structure solely for his benefit. Van Looy explained that her preference for non-monogamy stems from past experiences with infidelity in monogamous relationships, stating she prefers the “pain of the truth” over being blindsided by secrets.

While Van Looy emphasizes that trust and communication are the foundations of their bond, she noted that she does not require constant details regarding his other partners to avoid unnecessary comparison or insecurity. The couple, who recently welcomed a daughter named Florence, maintains that they remain each other's primary partner. Van Looy added that while she is committed to this lifestyle now, the arrival of motherhood may bring new perspectives on their relationship dynamic in the future.
