Justin Kluivert's Wife Shanna Taihuttu: Bio and Daughter

Shanna Taihuttu is the wife of Bournemouth and Netherlands forward Justin Kluivert, and the mother of their daughter, who was born in February 2025. Justin proposed to her in the Maldives in the summer of 2024, and today her TikTok profile carries the name Shanna Kluivert Taihuttu and the bio "wife & mother".

Shanna is a Dutch social media creator who keeps most of her life private: her Instagram account is private, and the moments she does share, from the proposal to the birth of their daughter, mostly appear on TikTok. Justin, the son of former Barcelona and Netherlands striker Patrick Kluivert, is in his fourth season at Bournemouth in 2026/27. This article sets out what is actually known about Shanna and the couple as of November 2026, with dates and sources, and leaves out the guesses that circulate on profile websites.

Who is Justin Kluivert's wife?

Justin Kluivert's wife is Shanna Taihuttu. For several years Dutch media called her his "vriendin" (girlfriend), then his fiancée after the 2024 proposal. Today, Shanna describes herself on TikTok as a "wife & mother", and her display name there now includes the Kluivert surname. In March 2025, the Dutch public broadcaster NOS also described Justin as a married man and the father of a daughter.

What has never been made public is the wedding itself. We could not find any media report of when or where the couple married, and neither of them has shared a wedding date, so this article does not guess one.

Who is Shanna Taihuttu?

Shanna Taihuttu is a Dutch content creator who is best known to football fans as Justin Kluivert's partner. Dutch lifestyle magazine Mannenzaken described her in 2024 as an influencer known in the fashion and beauty world. On her TikTok account, @shanna.taihuttu, she posts travel, lifestyle and family moments, from trips to Los Angeles to her pregnancy, the baby shower and life with their daughter. In November 2026 the account had about 15,600 followers.

Her Instagram profile is private, as Amayzine noted in 2024, which is why most of the photos of the couple that circulate online come from TikTok or from Justin's own Instagram account.

We could not find an interview that Shanna has given to the press, and we found no public statement from her about her education or a job outside social media. Some profile websites list a job, a school or a net worth for her, but none of them cites a source, so we leave those claims out.

Shanna Taihuttu age and birthday

Shanna's exact age is not publicly known. A birth date of 12 March 1999 circulates on profile websites, including the first version of this article, but we could not find it in any reliable source, and neither Shanna nor Justin has confirmed it. Justin was born on 5 May 1999, so he is 27 years old as of November 2026.

Where is Shanna Taihuttu from? Her origin

Shanna is from the Netherlands, and the Dutch press (LINDA., NOS, Amayzine, Voetbalprimeur) is where most of the news about the couple has appeared. Dutch readers often search for her "afkomst", her family background. Taihuttu is a Moluccan surname that is carried by several Dutch families of Moluccan descent, but we found no public statement from Shanna about her heritage and no reliable source on her parents or her roots, so we cannot confirm it.

Her parents and any brothers or sisters have stayed out of the public eye, and we do not speculate about them.

How did Justin Kluivert and Shanna Taihuttu meet?

According to the Dutch lifestyle sites Man-Man and Mannenzaken, Justin and Shanna met through social media and became a couple in 2021. Amayzine put the start of the relationship at 2022, so the exact year is not completely settled; how they first got in touch has not been described in more detail.

Their time in Spain brought a frightening moment. On the night of 24 to 25 May 2023, three hooded men broke into Kluivert's home in Bétera, near Valencia, while he was away with the team before a match in Mallorca. ESPN reported that his girlfriend and another family member were attacked and that jewellery and watches worth an estimated €160,000 were taken; NOS reported that his girlfriend was slightly injured. Neither outlet named her at the time. Amayzine later wrote that Shanna was the partner who was robbed.

The Maldives proposal

In the summer of 2024, Justin proposed to Shanna during a holiday in the Maldives, LINDA. and Teenmag reported. Shanna shared the moment on TikTok, and Man-Man reported that she called him her best friend and great love. The photo of the couple in front of a heart of red roses on a beach, earlier in this article, shows her engagement ring.

One Dutch site, Mannenzaken, wrote that the engagement happened in 2023 in France, but the other reports, and Shanna's own posts, point to the Maldives in 2024.

Pregnancy and the birth of their daughter

On Monday, 7 October 2024, Justin announced on Instagram that he and Shanna were expecting their first child, with several photos of Shanna's baby bump. According to Today.com, his caption read: "Our biggest blessing. We love you so much already." He told the Dutch TV show RTL Boulevard that they were expecting a girl and called it the ultimate happiness for him and his partner, LINDA. reported.

Twelve days later, on 19 October 2024, Kluivert scored a penalty in Bournemouth's 2-0 win over Arsenal and celebrated by putting the ball under his shirt and sucking his thumb, a classic footballer's baby celebration. In late 2024, Shanna celebrated her baby shower, which she shared on TikTok.

Their daughter was born in February 2025. Justin announced her name, Giselle Sofia Kluivert, on Instagram a few days after the birth, as Dutch site Mee met Oranje reported. On 10 February 2026, Justin marked his daughter's first birthday on Instagram with a message that began: "One year ago, your mother gave me the greatest blessing life could give me." He ended it with "My princess".

The post above is from Justin's own account (@justinkluivert): a mirror selfie of him holding his daughter, shared on her first birthday.

In an interview for the documentary Bournemouth, Don't Call It Cinderella Anymore, reported by Gianluca Di Marzio's website in May 2025, Justin said that becoming a father had changed his life a lot and brought him a lot of peace. NOS made a similar point in March 2025, linking his strong form that season to the stability of his family life.

Who is Justin Kluivert?

Justin Dean Kluivert was born on 5 May 1999 and is the son of Patrick Kluivert, the former Ajax, Barcelona and Netherlands striker. His younger brothers Ruben and Shane are also footballers. He can play as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, the "number 10" role in which he had his breakthrough at Bournemouth.

His career so far:

January 2017: made his Eredivisie debut for Ajax, the club where he came through the academy.
June 2018: joined AS Roma.
2020/21: on loan at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
2021/22: on loan at Nice, where he reached the Coupe de France final.
2022/23: on loan at Valencia in La Liga.
June 2023: signed for Bournemouth from Roma.
30 November 2024: became the first player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick of penalties, in a 4-2 win at Wolves.
18 January 2025: scored an open-play hat-trick in a 4-1 win at Newcastle, and later won the Premier League Player of the Month award for January 2025.
3 January 2026: injured his knee in a 3-2 defeat by Arsenal and needed surgery, which kept him out for about four months.
May 2026: returned before the end of the season, in which Bournemouth secured European football, and was named in Ronald Koeman's Netherlands squad for the 2026 World Cup on 27 May. The Netherlands went out to Morocco on penalties in the round of 32.
17 September 2026: scored Bournemouth's first goal in European competition, in a 2-1 Europa League win at Real Sociedad.

He made his debut for the Netherlands in March 2018, in a 3-0 friendly win over Portugal, and only won his third cap more than six years later, in 2024. As of November 2026 he is still a Bournemouth player, and his Instagram bio reads "Player of @afcb & @onsoranje".

In this BBC Sport interview from May 2025, Kluivert talks about Bournemouth, his European dreams and the pressure that comes with being part of a football family dynasty. If you follow the families of his teammates, you can also read about Evanilson's partner Mariana Abreu, his former Bournemouth teammate Antoine Semenyo's wife Jordeen Buckley and, from the Netherlands squad, Cody Gakpo's partner Noa van der Bij. For another Premier League family story, there is also Jeremy Doku's wife Shireen Raymond.
