And the star of More beautiful life, even more beautiful This is not her first attempt since she has already participated in the show four times. It must be said that the unforgettable Barbara Évenot loves challenges. Between filming, the theater and her two daughters, she doesn’t have time to be bored. Fortunately, she can count on the support of the man who has shared her life for 17 years, Simon, who also works in the audiovisual sector.
The lovebirds met on the benches of a music school, a month before Léa François landed the role that changed her life. “Every time we saw each other, we had a great time. I said to myself: ‘There must be a hidden defect!’ And ultimately no. He’s just perfect!”had also informed the main concerned in Audience. But their relationship could well have never seen the light of day.
This was without counting the intervention of one of their teachers, a certain Sandra. “I was telling her a little about my romantic setbacks. She told me that there was a drumming student who was single… She spoke to him about me, as she spoke to me about him”detailed the 38-year-old actress in Closer. Before explaining: “She organized a party at her house with several students to which, as luck would have it, we were invited”.

In a civil partnership since 2016, Léa François and Simon are the happy parents of two little girls: Louison, born in 2019, and Soa, born in 2022. A family cocoon that requires a lot of organization. “It’s sport, I’m not going to lie to you!”declared Léa François to 7 Days TV.
“I run all the time, but I have a blast in the series, I have a lot of fun on stage, and I love being there for my children. Whenever I can, I take them with me, on set or on tour. The organization is complicated but we get there. And I have a partner who does it. Sometimes, it’s even harder for him than for me…but he never blames me”. And she added: “He’s great! He manages a lot of things with Louison and now with Soa. He has a natural authority that I don’t have”.
Léa François, who describes herself as a “very attentive mother” And “a lot in communication” never stops praising his other half.“It’s thanks to him that I can keep up this frantic pace,” she declared to Gala. There is love in the air!
