The identity of the Dutch man who romances Rebecca on his houseboat is never revealed in the movie, but the actor playing him is Matteo van der Grijn. At 42, he has been featured in many Dutch projects such as Levenslied, Tiramisu, and De troon. You may know him better as Merk from the Netflix series Tribes of Europa.

You can follow van der Grijn on Instagram @matteovdgrijn, where he posts promotional photos of his projects, family pics, and posts supporting his favorite football team, AFC Ajax. Yup, Matteo van der Grijn is a real life soccer fanatic. Wonder if his character is as well…

When Rebecca encountered Tish, the psychic, she was informed that following the happenings of the green matchbook and "knight in shining armor" incidents, there would be an intense thunderstorm and she would find herself soaked, but still safe. Following that, Rebecca was advised that she would have a family in the near future. Although we haven't witnessed an actual lightning storm to this point, you could argue that Rebecca may have experienced figurative lightning when she encountered her secret lover in Amsterdam. She did certainly find herself flipped upside down and soaked! He made it his mission to make sure that she felt secure.

Moreover, Rebecca is struck by how cozy her whole evening with this man is. From the warm meal he provides to the orgasmic foot massage. She wears one of his ex-wife’s dresses only to learn that he bought it. Rebecca and this guy have such a great night that she prolongs her stay on the houseboat by pouring water on her clothes after they’ve been laundered…so she can stay longer. While it seems they didn’t have sex, the two definitely kiss and it seems…fall in love?

Besides the fact that Rebecca’s mood is euphoric when she returns to the Richmond bus, there are additional clues that this guy could be the man for our girl. She is happy to discover his daughter’s pink room on his boat; this could mean she would be a mother via stepmothering. Also when Rebecca tells him she’ll never forget him, he says she might because people get Alzheimer’s. It’s a dark joke, sure, but the idea is they’ve imprinted on each other so much that only a debilitating illness that causes memory loss could break them apart now.

Of course, the fact that we don’t even know his name also suggests that this could have been merely a single encounter designed to show Rebecca the joy of keeping hope, love, and curiosity alive in her heart. You know, so she can see the rest of her life in a new way.

Many believed that Rebecca and Ted would eventually become romantically involved, due to their shared struggles with their respective divorces. However, in Ted Lasso season 3, episode 5, things took a turn when Rebecca and Ted were meant to have a night out in Amsterdam, only for Rebecca to fall into a canal and lose her phone, leading to her meeting Van Der Grijn's anonymous boat owner. This fateful encounter with this mysterious man seems to have put a damper on the theories of Rebecca and Ted getting together, as Rebecca is now smitten with Van Der Grijn's character, despite Ted's recent willingness to date again and Rebecca's desires for children.
