This Friday, May 27 at 9:30 p.m., France 3 viewers discover a new number of the show Come on, I’ll take youa nostalgia program that immerses us in the heart of “cult varieties“. Mimie Mathy, Michel Drucker, or Les chevaliers du Fiel are received by the beautiful Laury Thilleman. A new beautiful evening of entertainment challenge for Miss France 2011, whose life has recently been turned upside down following her surprise breakup with her husband Juan Arbelaez happened several weeks ago. The beauty queen had met the chef a few years after a first romance with another celebrity, the swimmer Clement Lefert.
We tend to forget this period of the life of the young woman but there was a time when she dated an Olympic medalist swimmer. A relationship on which the young woman never really wanted to extend. Evidenced by an interview with Nikos Aliagas in 2011 on NRJ. “I must not talk about that, I leave the suspense a little...”, she replied when it came to discussing the duration of the relationship with the swimmer.
Nevertheless, over time and especially their reunion on the TF1 show, splash, the young woman had dropped the ballast and had revealed some details. Already on the causes of their separation. “It’s finish. The distance made our relationship difficult to manage“, she said to the Parisian at the start of 2013. Obviously the public and fans of Laury and Clément had hoped at the time for a possible second act between the sparkling Miss and the champion from Nice and, excuse me, winner of the 4x100m freestyle at the Olympic Games of London 2012. A hypothesis that had immediately been dismissed by Laury, definitively moved on to something else. “We are friends, there is no longer any ambiguity between us. (…) If ever there is a duo test, it can only be an asset to be with him because he is strong“, she affirmed to TVMag. And the future proved him right. The two former nevertheless still share a common point, that of having succeeded in their retraining. Part of beauty contests, Laury Thilleman is now a brilliant host. As for Clément Lefert, after his career in the pools, he turned to finance and occasionally works as a swimming consultant for Canal+.
