A couple since 2016, the lovebirds have only been appearing in public for two years. “It really took us a long time to show up.confirms the person concerned. Because we've been together for eight years anyway. In the first six years of our relationship, we almost never showed up, even on social media.“. From now on, Charlotte Cardin and Alyocha Schneider no longer hesitate, notably at the last Paris Fashion Week in September 2024, where they posed at fashion show photocalls. “The truth is, we love being together. When we are invited to an event, I prefer to be with my lover,” adds the author, composer and performer. “Fortunately, we have our projects and our stories to tell independent of each other. And sometimes it can be a little “tricky” (complicated in French, editor’s note.) if we are always seen together in public places“, she only admits.
It was music that brought the lovers together. “We met in Montreal where Alyosha grew up.says Charlotte Cardin, revealed in the show “La Voix” (the Canadian “The Voice”). “And in fact, it was his father who saw me singing on TV. He managed to find my phone number and one day I receive a call from someone I don't know at all. He tells me that his name is Jean-Paul Schneider, that his son makes music and that we should work together. But Jean-Paul had something else in mind…», recalls the artist with humor. “He had planned it and he saw it well because it was love at first sight when Alyosha and I met.», she concludes on the subject.
