Klaasje Meijer replaces K3 singer Hanne during maternity leave

Former K3 member Klaasje Meijer is temporarily returning to the singing group to cover Hanne Verbruggen's maternity leave. Meijer, who previously performed with the group from 2015 to 2021, will participate in the new K3 show Superhelden.

Former K3 member Klaasje Meijer is returning to the popular singing group to substitute for Hanne Verbruggen, who is currently on maternity leave. This marks Meijer's second temporary comeback to the Studio 100 act, as she also filled in for Marthe De Pillecyn during her recent leave earlier this summer. Meijer is set to join the group for upcoming performances, including the new production titled Superhelden.

Verbruggen, who is 32 years old, announced her pregnancy in early July. Meijer previously served as an official member of the trio from 2015 until 2021 after winning the reality show K3 zoekt K3 alongside Verbruggen and De Pillecyn. Following her departure, she was replaced by Dutch singer Julia Boschman, but she continues to be a trusted face for the group whenever extra support is needed during these transitional periods.
