Ella Van Kerkhoven is a Belgian forward who plays for Feyenoord in the Dutch Vrouwen Eredivisie. She is also a Belgium international with the Red Flames.
She has been in a relationship with Dutch footballer Diede Lemey since 2015.
Feyenoord credit her with the first-ever hat-trick in the history of the women’s team, scored against ADO Den Haag in February 2025.
She described playing in De Kuip as “an honour,” and said she loves the stadium and the pitch.
Getting a bike helped her explore Rotterdam more, and she sometimes goes looking for a coffee bar.
She called her year in Italy “one of the darkest pages” of her career.
She and Diede Lemey co-hosted a podcast called Den Aftrap about the Women’s Champions League.
She has a dog named Ax.
