“And another year has passed. And another candle has been blown”. Wednesday November 15, 2023, Laura Smet celebrated her 40th birthday. A milestone that Johnny Hallyday’s daughter chose to spend surrounded by her loved ones. This Saturday, November 18, it was at the Café de l’Homme, a restaurant located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, that Raphaël Lancrey-Javal’s partner celebrated her birthday.
After a wonderful dinner, the joyful troupe headed to the establishment’s terrace so that the actress blew out her candles in front of a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower. The queen of the evening and her guests then indulged in a photo session rich in emotion. For good reason, Laura Smet proudly appeared alongside her mother, Nathalie Baye, but also with one of her late father’s best friends who is also her godfather, Eddy Mitchell.
Happy to have been able to share this moment with the interpreter of On the road to Memphis, the actress did not fail to put a photo of them in her Instagram story. A cliché which probably provoked strong reactions.

Significant support for Laura Smet
As a reminder, Eddy Mitchell and Laura Smet have always been particularly close. In the midst of a conflict over inheritance between the elders of Taulier and Laeticia Hallyday, the singer had also given his support to his goddaughter. “I don’t understand how you can disinherit your children. Being Laura’s godfather, it’s normal for me to support her”notably launched the artist according to AFP.
Obviously very angry with the rocker’s widow, the musician did not mince his words during the launch of the Parisian exhibition dedicated to Johnny. “It’s his ex (Laeticia Hallyday) who takes care of that”, he blurted out in the columns of Parisian while explaining that he would not go there. And to add: “Time blurs things, but everyone remains in their positions. She even refused to allow duets with Johnny on my album.”. Eddy Mitchell has chosen his side!
