The Beauty of Retrospect: Doutzen Kroes Week, Part Four

Doutzen Kroes can charm anyone with her soft smile, as the two pictures in these posts prove.


I'm sure that's how she charmed the man who became her husband. :-)


She and her husband, a Dutch disc jockey, have two children , a son and a daughter.   And she's made it clear that, despite her own success as a model, she wants her little girl to grow up and be anything she wants to be. "Instead of saying, 'You're so beautiful'," she said in 2014 on how she wants to compliment her daughter, "I'll say, 'You're smart', so she'll have different aspirations in life than beauty and modeling. Though I love my job, I'm not changing the world. I'd love for her to study and to have different aspirations. We need to teach girls they can become presidents, and it's not about beauty all the time." 

As Ms. Kroes and her family, are Dutch, though, her daughter can't be president of the Netherlands.  It's a constitutional monarchy. (She can be prime minister, though.)
