For 25 years, speculation has swirled about the father of Iris Vandenkerckhove’s son—better known as Wendy Van Wanten. Today, that secret finally comes to an end. Shortly after his 25th birthday, Clément Vandenkerckhove breaks the silence: Prince Laurent is his father.

News that the prince himself also confirms today. For the very first time, Clément shares his story openly on VTM, revealing who his father is. He does so in the two-part documentary Clément, Son of…, airing exclusively on VTM and VTM GO on Tuesday, September 9, and Thursday, September 18. With this, long-awaited clarity is brought to one of the most talked-about secrets in Flemish showbiz and royal circles.

In the VTM documentary, Clément wants to put an end to the speculation that has overshadowed his life for 25 years. It is time to leave this behind once and for all and move forward. In May–June 2025, he sat down in front of VTM’s cameras to tell his story—once, in his own words, in his own way.
