He who is very active on social networks, in particular TikTok where he shares first videos with his lover, Hugo Manos was naturally approached by Laurent Ruquier via one of these platforms! “We met through social media. In fact, he messaged me on instagram to ask me more information about the practice of electro-stimulation, since I have sports centers. We discussed about ithe recalls. I think he spotted the beast. It was a way to get in touch.“
In reality, the approach of the host of 59 years was much more interested than that. He thus proposed to the Franco-Greek influencer of 33 years to have a coffee. Invitation accepted, the two men meet for the first time and that’s where the magic happens. “We got along very well, we had a great time. There was a game of seduction very quickly“, confides Hugo Manos. Then comes the moment when Laurent Ruquier offers a second meeting, to say the least special! “He proposed to me the next day a funny dinner. I took a taxi, I went to an address without really knowing where I was going, and I found myself at Line Renaud’s, with Jeanfi Janssens, Vincent Dedienne and other guests!“, says the former godfather of reality tv angels (NRJ12).
An evening with these big names in television who are mostly close to Laurent Ruquier did not impress Hugo Manos. The new friend of the star even admits having spent a moment “super pleasant“. They thus returned together and from there was born their beautiful romance.
