The couple has been dating since the early 2010s and has always preferred to preserve their privacy, far from the paparazzi and scandal magazines. The two lovebirds are also rare to appear together at public events.
It was in 2008 that the singer met her partner, then a French tennis player, via mutual friends, as she confided in Gala.
I swore to myself that I would never fall in love with an athlete for family reasons. Well yes. We didn’t meet through sport at all. It was through friends we had in common. It’s incredible.
Family reasons since Nolwenn Leroy’s father is a former great French footballer.
Nolwenn and Arnaud are the parents of a little Marin
