Cody Gakpo's glamorous partner Noa van der Bij is set to support the Liverpool forward when the Reds face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. The Dutch winger, 26, has endured a challenging season with only eight goals, but his girlfriend's presence could provide a much-needed boost in a fixture where he has scored four times.
Who is Noa van der Bij?
Noa van der Bij, 25, is a stunning blonde who works as a booker for Cachet Models. She has amassed over 50,000 followers on Instagram, where she regularly shares glimpses of her opulent lifestyle. The couple have been together since at least December 2020, when Gakpo was still at PSV Eindhoven, and relocated to Merseyside after his £45 million transfer to Liverpool in 2022.
Lavish Holidays and Private Jets
Noa's social media feed is filled with sun-soaked holidays in destinations such as Saint Tropez, Monaco, Ibiza, and Curacao. In her most recent posts, she documented a private jet journey with Gakpo and their son, Samuël Seth Gakpo, who was born in May 2024. She also shared pictures of a pilates class with friends.
Among her followers are Saffie Khan, partner of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, and Marina Reijnders, wife of Manchester City star Tijani Reijnders, who frequently leave heart emojis on her posts.
Gakpo's Memorable Performance Against Manchester United
Gakpo's finest moment against Manchester United came during Liverpool's 7-0 thrashing at Anfield in 2023, where he scored twice. Noa was in the stands to witness his brilliant display. The double came just over a year after Liverpool beat United to sign him in the January 2022 transfer window.
United, then managed by Erik ten Hag, had reportedly held talks with Gakpo's representatives but ultimately lost out to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. Since joining, Gakpo has won every domestic honour with the Reds, and he will be eager to repeat that success on Sunday at Old Trafford.
