Sunday, October 9, Laure Manaudou celebrates her 36th birthday. The young woman will spend this special day surrounded by her family, starting with her children, Manon (12 years old) whom she had with Frédérick Bousquet, Lou (5 years old), and her little boy whose first name has never been revealed. , 20 months old. And according to the words of the father, the singer Jérémy Frérot, the revelation will not take place immediately.
The former swimming champion is embracing a new life, calmer than the one she had as a top athlete. At the time when she was chaining records and medals, the beauty had made the decision to make a physical change. She decided to get breast prostheses as she told in her autobiography Between the lines in 2014. “As a kid, I did it in secret from my parents. When I went back to see them in Ambérieu, a few days after the operation, I didn’t tell anyone (…) My mother told me looked at with a frown, she said to me ‘Hey, it’s weird, you look like you have more breasts than before’ (…) I ended up recognizing the truth. I showed her the result which she found very pretty”.
However, two years later when she returned to competition (after giving birth to her eldest daughter, editor’s note), she decided to part with them… too restrictive. “Before leaving Marseille, I had my breast implants removed. Impossible to keep them if I want to resume training and competition: the jumpsuits are too tight. Removing them is also showing my determination, proving myself to me and others that I’m back for good. Mentally, that’s important to me.”
If compatibility with her career wasn’t the best thing, Laure“I wanted to be a woman and let it show”.
