Kevin De Bruyne will spend his life after football in a stunning Belgian home that includes a swimming pool and basketball court.
The 32-year-old Manchester City star is married to wife Michele Lacroix after the pair tied the knot in 2017.

He also has three young children with partner Lacroix – Mason, 6, Rome, 3, and Suri, 1.
And the five-person family often enjoy De Bruyne’s summer breaks from football by going to their house in Bolderberg, Belgium.
De Bruyne flew out there before Euro 2020 as he attempted to swiftly recover from his broken nose and damaged eye socket.
And the luxury home seemed to work for the Man City man as he returned to the national team in time for the tournament, only for Belgium to be knocked out in the quarter-finals by eventual winners Italy.
The Bolderberg-based home is where De Bruyne wants to rest up when his playing career comes to an end.
It looks like the perfect place for a Premier League great to put his feet up once he is finished with football.
But that could still be a way away yet as De Bruyne remains focused on delivering Man City more trophies.
The attacking midfielder is currently in the US on tour with City.
Michele shared several photos of the house to her Instagram
The modern-looking house is a sight to behold
Kevin and Michele have been in a relationship since 2014
Pep Guardiola convinced Vincent Kompany will be future Man City manager for four reasons
Pep Guardiola believes it is only a matter of time before Vincent Kompany fulfils his “destiny” and becomes the Manchester City manager. The current City boss is not about to walk out of the Etihad any time soon.
But when he eventually does call time on his stunning reign in charge of the six-time Premier League champions, he can think of no better candidate to replace him than his old captain. “He will be back sooner or later,” he said.
Guardiola, whose side will face Kompany’s Championship-leading Burnley in the FA Cup quarter-finals, added: “I think his destiny to be the manager of Manchester City is already written in the stars.
“It’s going to happen, I don’t know when but it is going to happen. It is my feeling, maybe I am wrong but he has the attributes: work ethic, knowledge of the game, well respected and experienced.

“Doing what he has done is so difficult and he is doing really well. He knows the club, the environment, the fans, what our people need. The destiny is there.”
Kompany’s Clarets are charging virtually unchallenged back to the Premier League at the first time of asking and, added to his work at Anderlecht, Guardiola says nobody can fail to be impressed.
The Catalan said: “What I like of him, he proves himself. Anderlecht one of the historic teams in Belgium, young players. He took a risk. He went to Burnley after they were relegated where there was pressure.

“In terms of results and the way they play. He proves himself, not just directly to go to a top, top team.” Burnley sit 12 points clear of Sheffield United after playing 34 games of the Championship campaign.
The Lancashire club have lost just twice in the league, though Kompany’s charges suffered a pre-Christmas Carabao Cup defeat at the hands of Manchester United at Old Trafford. Whether the Belgian can pull off a stunning upset against his former club will be determined on Saturday March 18.
