The Bergkamp family caught the attention of TikTok fans last week when Dennis Bergkamp’s children participated in a viral trend.
Dennis, a legend at Arsenal, is known for his 120 goals and three Premier League titles over a decade-long career with the Gunners.
These days, he’s in the spotlight for a more personal reason – his kids have gone viral on social media.
A Peek Into the Bergkamp Family Life
Dennis, now 55, has four children with his wife, Henrita Ruizendaal.
The couple, married since 1993, share Estelle, Mitchel, Yasmin, and Saffron.
While the kids have largely stayed out of the limelight, they’ve recently made a splash online with a TikTok video that’s taken over the platform.
The Viral TikTok Trend
The video, posted by Yasmin, features the Bergkamp kids engaging in a popular TikTok trend tied to the new musical film Mufasa—a prequel and sequel to the beloved Lion King.
Thousands have recreated the video, and it’s no surprise that Yasmin’s post has gone viral, already racking up 1.4 million views and 89,500 likes.
In the clip, Mitchel sits on the couch as his sisters pop up one by one, delivering a playful line from the trend.
“What did you say about my brother?” they ask, followed by: “You stay away from my brother… because I say so. If you put your paws on my brother, you’ll feel the jaws of his brother… those are the laws for my brother.”
The fun interaction has caught the attention of fans, with over 4,000 people bookmarking the video and 251 leaving comments.
Mitchel Bergkamp’s Football Journey
While the viral TikTok clip was getting attention, Mitchel Bergkamp is navigating a new phase in his football career.
After leaving Welling United in December, the 26-year-old is on the lookout for a new club. Like his father, Mitchel has followed in his footsteps on the field.
He played for Almere City in the Netherlands, where he was briefly coached by Dennis.
Mitchel later joined Watford’s youth system and briefly trialed at Arsenal before moving to Bromley in January 2023.
Despite playing 10 times for the club over one-and-a-half seasons, Mitchel departed after Bromley’s promotion to the EFL and had a short spell with Welling before his release last month.
Estelle’s Relationship with Donny van de Beek
Meanwhile, Estelle Bergkamp, Mitchel’s sister, has made headlines of her own.
She is in a relationship with former Manchester United player Donny van de Beek.
The couple, who share two children, relocated to Spain after Donny’s move to Girona last year.
What’s Next for the Bergkamp Family?
As the Bergkamp family continues to share snippets of their lives, fans are eagerly watching what comes next for the kids.
With Mitchel’s football career still in flux and Estelle’s relationship with Donny taking them abroad, there’s sure to be more to look forward to from this famous family.
