Her manager is adamant, in the words of the author: “You are too young ! It’s not serious… With the new album, you won’t have time to take care of a child. (…) You’re going to screw everything up. Your career and that of the boys at the same time.“According to his pen, he would also have made this speech to her:”Valérie, you’re pregnant… That’s good! But I signed a singer. Not a family man!“
