This is perhaps the craziest love experience he has had: between 2017 and 2018, comedian Kev Adams shared the life of a Miss Universe, the superb Iris Mittenaere. Elected shortly before their meeting, and caught in a whirlwind of media and obligations, the young woman had nevertheless succumbed to the charms of the humorist, unaccustomed to this kind of environment.
And he had to learn the rules fairly quickly, especially during their first meeting: when they were to meet in a restaurant, the interpreter of the series SODA was surprised to see the young woman disembark… with a chaperone! Her manager, American, did not let go of her. and put the young man through a few difficult hours.
“I try to get to know this girl, who pleases me and interests me greatly. And in the middle there is his manager at the time. It was a bit like Whoopi Goldberg. A very present girl what“, he said in the podcast published at the time of the launch of his Parisian Comedy Club. Explaining that the young woman had warned her that the manager would be present, he quickly understood that this should give “permission for absolutely everything. Any exit, any appearance“.
The comedian had therefore had to conquer the manager in addition to that of the young woman with whom he was considering a relationship. But the chaperone had no intention of letting it go, according to the young man who even had to… change his language! “She was quite difficult for the first few minutes, after she relaxed. She did something to me that I found really extremely shocking“, he had recalled. “Like I was making a valve, Iris she was laughing and she was saying: ‘Bah, it’s not funny’. And I was like ‘Bah, I wasn’t doing it for you, the joke’. So something else needs to be clarified. She’s American, so out of respect we had to speak only English. So it’s a date in English“.
Whereas “the girl did not let go“according to him, she had gone so far as to ask him:”What do you want from Iris? What are you waiting for, exactly?“. A real “job interview“, obviously conclusive since the Miss Universe succumbed to the comedian for about a year. And despite a beautiful story, both ended up separating.
Since then, Kev Adams has never again spoken of any love story but regularly jokes about it. Iris Mittenaere, for her part, first lived a short story with Anthony Colette then with the man of her life, Diego, to whom she has just said yes for life!
