A superb evening in which unfortunately Virginie Efira, who was nevertheless one of the queens, could not participate. On her Instagram, she confides in Story: “What a pity not to have been able to be present at the ceremony… Thank you very much for this award! An honor and a joy”. If she does not mention the reasons for her absence, the beauty could well want, quite simply, to ease her foot a little compared to these last rather hectic weeks. Adored by the public and the community, we know she is happy in the arms of Niels Schneider since 2018, met on the set of a film with the paradoxical title, An impossible love. Ultimately, the answer, anyway, is well and good…always love.
