Moonen and O'Keeffe met on that very day two years ago in Barcelona, according to the Dutchwoman. "We got engaged on NYE, the day we met for the first time 2 years ago in Barcelona. And when you know, you just know," they wrote on social media.
O'Keeffe (28 years old) previously raced as a driver for the Red Bull Junior Team and the Lotus F1 Junior Team, but he ultimately did not make it to Formula 1. Moonen (also 28) raced for Lotto Soudal for a few years and, in recent seasons, primarily focused on gravel races alongside her online activities.
The two met through an exclusive dating app, as Moonen revealed just over a year ago. "A new year also means it's exactly one year ago since the random stranger I met on a dating app flew out to Barcelona to celebrate NYE with me. He was not a catfish and here we are now," she captioned a photo she posted at the beginning of 2024.

- Eight riders told to go for stages, and nobody gets one—hard to know what the plan was there. It’ll be interesting to see whether they pick a clear leader next time.bikebuffj10-11-2026
- Was Bernal’s 20th place really their best GC result? I thought he might have finished higher. Either way, it sounds like a rough Tour for the whole team.gearguru3310-11-2026
- Five days in breaks with no stage win is a painful stat. The team had chances, but they need to turn those opportunities into results.julien10-11-2026
- The Onley Vuelta example makes sense: a team with someone to rally around often looks much more cohesive. Hopefully INEOS can build on that rather than expecting a quick return to the Sky years.cadencekingm10-11-2026
- Thomas is right about the ambiguity. Eight riders all chasing stages can end up pulling in different directions, even if nobody’s deliberately working against anyone. They need a clearer plan once the GC leaders are out.robert6510-11-2026
- What a mess. The report makes it sound as though nobody properly explained the decision, and that’s hard to defend.jennifer1910-11-2026
- I’m still learning the rules: does moving left in a sprint automatically bring a penalty, or does it depend on whether the other rider is blocked? It sounds like Brand wasn’t impeded here.patriciaw10-11-2026
- A final decision still needs a proper explanation. If the federation’s complaint goes nowhere, I hope the officials at least review how they handled the riders afterwards.michael5410-11-2026
- Fair play to Lucinda for saying Marie had won fair and square. That kind of sportsmanship matters, especially after such a controversial decision.raceready710-11-2026
- Schreiber beat Brand on the road, so the jury needed to explain clearly why that slight deviation warranted relegation. Being cut off before she could give her account sounds appalling.lindae10-11-2026
