Rose de Back: Jurrien Timber's Girlfriend, Age, Baby Girl

Rose de Back, known in the Netherlands by her Dutch first name Roos, is the long-time girlfriend of Arsenal and Netherlands defender Jurriën Timber. They are not married as far as is publicly known, but on 22 October 2026 they announced on Instagram that they are expecting their first child, a baby girl.

Roos is Dutch. She met Timber while he was still an Ajax player, moved with him to London when he joined Arsenal in July 2023, and has since studied fashion in the city. In this article, OhMyFootball goes through what can actually be checked about her: her age, her background, her studies, her Instagram and the couple's latest news, with dates and sources. Everything here is up to date as of November 2026.

Is Jurrien Timber married?

No marriage between Jurriën Timber and Roos de Back has been reported. When the couple shared their pregnancy news in October 2026, Dutch outlets such as Kek Mama and Mee met Oranje still described Roos as Timber's "vriendin", his girlfriend, and English Wikipedia also says Timber is in a relationship with Rose de Back. No engagement has been announced either.

So although many people search for "Jurrien Timber's wife", and even the address of this page uses that word, Roos is his girlfriend and the mother of his future daughter, not his wife. If that changes, we will update this article.

Who is Jurrien Timber's girlfriend?

Jurrien Timber's girlfriend is Roos de Back, who goes by "Rose" on Instagram and in English-language media. According to Kek Mama and Mee met Oranje, the two met when Timber was still playing for Ajax, in Amsterdam according to Mee met Oranje, and they have been together for years. The Dutch site Spelersvrouw.nl reports that she was first seen with Timber's family during Euro 2020, the tournament that was played in the summer of 2021, which would put their relationship at five years or more by 2026.

When Arsenal signed Timber from Ajax in July 2023, Roos moved to London with him, and the couple have lived in England since then.

Who is Rose de Back?

Rose (Roos) de Back is a Dutch woman with a background in fashion. She is not a celebrity, and we could not find an interview she has given to the media. Most of what the public knows about her comes from her Instagram account, where she shares fashion, travel and photos with Timber, and from her appearances alongside him at events.

Her Instagram shows a clear interest in fashion brands. In the post below, she thanked the Budapest label Nanushka "for having us".

Unlike many profiles you will find online, we are not going to invent her hobbies, her personality or her job. Here is what can actually be checked.

Rose de Back age and birthday

Rose de Back has not made her date of birth public. Some English-language profiles say she was born in 2002, which would make her about 24 in 2026, but neither she nor Timber has confirmed it, so treat that as an estimate. Without a confirmed birthday, any zodiac sign you see attached to her name is a guess.

For comparison, Jurriën Timber was born on 17 June 2001 in Utrecht, so he turned 25 in June 2026.

Rose de Back ethnicity and nationality

Rose de Back is from the Netherlands and is Dutch. Many people search for her ethnicity, but we could not find any public statement from her about her family background, or any reliable source on it, so we will not guess.

Timber's own roots are documented: according to English Wikipedia, he was born in the Netherlands to parents from Curaçao, and he has played for the Netherlands from under-15 level up to the senior team.

Rose de Back family

Roos has kept her parents and any brothers or sisters out of the public eye. Their names and details of her childhood have not been made public.

On Timber's side, the family is well known in Dutch football. Jurriën has a twin brother, Quinten Timber, who is also a professional footballer and a Netherlands international. Quinten captained Feyenoord, joined Olympique de Marseille in January 2026, and signed for Crystal Palace on 1 September 2026, which means both twins now play in the Premier League in London. According to English Wikipedia, they also have three older brothers, Shamier, Chris and Dylan, and Dylan has played for Curaçao. The family uses their mother's surname, Timber.

Rose de Back's education and fashion studies

Fashion is the clearest thread in Roos's life. According to the Dutch site Mee met Oranje, she completed her studies at the Amsterdam Fashion Academy and, after the move to England, started a course at Regent's University London, a private university in Regent's Park, central London. A LinkedIn profile under the name Rose de Back, based in London, says she has completed a master's degree in International Fashion Marketing there. That profile does not mention Timber, so treat the course details as a likely match rather than an official record.

Rose de Back's career

Roos has shared more about her studies than about her work. What she does professionally in 2026 has not been made public, and we could not find a report of her having a full-time job in fashion.

On Instagram, she posts outfits, designer pieces and brand moments, such as the post below with the Italian fashion house Miu Miu, captioned "best time with @miumiu". That shows her taste, but she has not presented herself as a professional influencer.

Rose de Back's net worth and Jurrien Timber's salary

Roos has not shared anything about her income, so there is no reliable figure for her net worth, and any number you find online is a guess.

Timber's wages are better documented, although Arsenal do not publish them. In April 2025, GOAL reported, citing the salary site Capology, that Timber earned about £90,000 a week before tax, roughly £4.7 million a year, which made him one of the lower earners in the Arsenal squad. Since October 2025, several outlets have reported that Arsenal want to give him a new, much better paid contract. As of October 2026, no new deal had been announced, and his current contract was reported to run until 2028. His personal net worth is not publicly known.

You can find Roos on Instagram as @roossdeback, where her display name is "Rose". She posts outfits, holidays, fashion events and photos with Timber, and the couple used the account to announce their pregnancy.

Her posts get thousands of likes: the other posts embedded in this article showed between about 1,200 and 9,950 likes on their embed pages in early November 2026, and the pregnancy announcement more than 211,000. When Timber turned 25 in June 2026, she posted a birthday message calling him "my" world, with a globe emoji, according to the Arsenal fan account Arsenal Radar.

Below, one of her own posts from December 2025, captioned "tis the season".

Some websites list a TikTok account for her, but we could not confirm that it belongs to her, so we do not repeat it here. Jurriën Timber is on Instagram as @jurrientimber.

Rose de Back's public appearances with Jurrien Timber

The best documented outing of the couple is Wimbledon 2025. On 8 July 2025, day nine of the Championships, GOAL reported that Timber and his partner Rose de Back were at the All England Club with Bukayo Saka and Tolami Benson, and Getty Images photographed the couple courtside. That day, Timber and Saka also met Carlos Alcaraz after the Spaniard's quarter-final win over Cameron Norrie. If you follow the partners of Timber's teammates, you can read about Bukayo Saka's partner Tolami Benson.

Roos also celebrated with Timber when Arsenal won the 2025/26 Premier League, the club's first league title in 22 years, sealed on 19 May 2026, and fan accounts shared photos of the couple celebrating the title. In late May she paid tribute to him on Instagram, writing that she had "watched him dream it, work for it, and finally live it" and that she was "forever proud" of him, as relayed by Arsenal Radar.

Rose de Back and Jurrien Timber's latest family news: a baby girl

On Thursday 22 October 2026, Roos and Jurriën announced that they are expecting their first child, a girl. The joint Instagram post below shows photos from a pregnancy shoot in a meadow, with the caption "We can't wait to meet you baby girl <3".

According to the Dutch outlets Kek Mama and Mee met Oranje, congratulations came from Timber's former Ajax teammate and fellow Netherlands international Ryan Gravenberch, as well as Bram Krikke, Demi de Boer and Estelle Bergkamp, among others. The couple have not shared a due date or a name, and they have said nothing about a wedding.
