Personal life

edit

Oshin Derieuw's parents named her after a character in a Japanese soap series, hence the decidedly non-Belgian sounding first name.[6] She grew up in Roeselare, Belgium, is the sister of Chilo "Chillow" Derieuw, a singer, music producer, and dj, and is married to the triathlete Charlotte Deldaele, the daughter of Belgian Olympic kayaking athletes Inge Coeck and Geert Deldaele.[7][6]
