Girlfriend / Spouse
Afrojack has dated –
- Amanda Balk – Afrojack started going out with Dutch model Amanda Balk in the past. His breakup from her in 2011 is well documented as Amanda, who was four months pregnant at the time of the breakup, gave interviews to leading Dutch tabloids about Afrojack abandoning her and their yet-to-be-born child. The same year, she gave birth to a daughter, Vegas. The equation between them seems to have toned down a bit as Afrojack often spends time with his daughter.
- Paris Hilton (2011-2012) – Afrojack hooked up with American socialite Paris Hilton in 2011. He even took her as his date at the 2012 Grammy Awards. Later, it was reported that he had moved into her mansion in Beverly Hills. However, this affair was fairly short-lived as he dumped her in May 2012 after dating her for about 6 months. The Dutch music star wasn’t ready to settle down yet.
- Lauren Meditz (2015-2016) – Afrojack reportedly got in a relationship with model Lauren Meditz in 2015. Afrojack decided to dump her in May 2016, which led to Lauren filing a lawsuit against him and demanding $25 million to settle the case. She had accused him of being aggressively controlling and forcing her to neglect her friends and family. She also accused him of forcing her to leave her job. In damages, she also demanded custody of their dog and a white Range Rover that Afrojack had gifted her in 2015.
- Elettra Lamborghini (2018-Present) – In September 2018, DJ Afrojack and luxury car company heiress, Elettra Lamborghini started dating each other. In December 2019, the couple publicly announced their engagement. In September 2020, they tied the knot in Lago di Garda, Italy.
