Their story began when they met during a football match in August 2021 when Shukrula was the fourth official in the Eerste Divisie clash in which Hardeveld was sent off.

He then bumped into his future girlfriend after seeing red, marking the start of their relationship.

30-year-old Shukrula became a FIFA qualified referee in 2017. In 2020, she began fourth official duties in the Dutch second division.
