Jolien Pede’s Big Brother Love Triangle: “Am I With Mattie or Jeffrey?”
In the pressure-cooker world of Big Brother 2025, where every whisper is caught on camera and every glance ignites speculation, Jolien Pede has found herself at the heart of a sizzling love triangle that has fans on the edge of their seats. The 27-year-old Miss Exclusive 2023 from Zwalm, Belgium, entered the house with a fiery determination to win, but her journey has spiraled into a whirlwind of romance, betrayal, and heartbreak that no one saw coming. Now, as the season has just wrapped up, Jolien breaks her silence: “Of ik een relatie heb met Mattie of Jeffrey?”—a question that has sparked endless debate among viewers. [Web ID: 6][Web ID: 8]
From the moment Jolien stepped into the minimalist Big Brother house in Duivendrecht on January 6, 2025, she was a force to be reckoned with. Her charm and flirtatious nature—admitted in her intro as a strategic weapon—quickly drew the attention of fellow housemate Jeffrey Leijzen. Their chemistry was electric, with the two becoming inseparable, sharing stolen kisses and cuddles that left viewers swooning. But not everyone was charmed. Fans on the livestreams raged, calling their romance “fake” and accusing Jolien of using Jeffrey to secure her spot in the game. “Doe dat fake koppel weg aub!” one viewer fumed on X, echoing the sentiments of many who felt their “geklef” (clinginess) was a calculated act.

Yet, the plot thickened when Jeffrey was evicted mid-season, leaving Jolien to navigate the house alone. Enter Mattheüs Jonckheere—a man whose own relationship outside the house was crumbling. What started as a friendship between Jolien and Mattheüs soon turned into something far more intimate. Night after night, the two grew closer, with Jolien whispering sweet nothings and planting kisses on Mattheüs’ cheek during a silent disco evening, as captured in a March 20 episode. Fans were stunned as Jolien, once so devoted to Jeffrey, seemed to have moved on without a second thought. “She’s playing a dangerous game,” one fan warned on X, while others speculated if her flirtations were genuine or just another strategy to stay in the game.

The drama peaked when Jeffrey, watching from the outside, saw Jolien’s growing bond with Mattheüs. By April 4, he confirmed their romance was over: “We’ve both moved on. It wasn’t a match, unfortunately.” Meanwhile, Jolien and Mattheüs planned a “private party for two” after the show, hinting at a fiery connection. Yet, post-finale revelations have left fans reeling. Jordy de Maar, the season’s winner, went live on TikTok on April 8, declaring, “There’s honestly no relationship between Mattie and Jolien. Don’t believe everything you read online.” Adding fuel to the fire, a podcast teaser revealed Mattheüs’ shocking confession: he had kissed housemate Milena in a drunken moment, a betrayal that shattered his relationship with his girlfriend Deborah and left Jolien caught in the crossfire.

So, where does Jolien stand now? Torn between a past with Jeffrey and a fleeting spark with Mattheüs, her heart remains a mystery. One thing is certain: in the game of Big Brother, love is never simple—and Jolien’s story is far from over.
