For several years, Virginie Efira and Niels Schneider have been living the perfect love affair. In the columns of “Madame Figaro”, the actor made a tender declaration to his partner…
Virginie Efira and Nils Schneider are one of the most iconic couples in cinema. Questioned by “Madame Figaro” this Saturday, August 31, the French-Canadian actor spoke about his romance with the 46-year-old actress: “My current relationship has everything of a first love, I feel like my whole life has led me to this story, which turns out to be the strongest.” It was on the set of the film “Sibyl” that the simple mutual attraction between the two actors gave way to a great and beautiful love story. On August 28, 2023, Virginie Efira gave birth to a little boy named Hiro, whom she had with Niels Schneider. This is the second child of the actress, who was already the mother of Ali, an 11-year-old daughter, whom she had with director Mabrouk El Mechri.
On the set of “Je t’aime, etc”, Niels Schneider had already mentioned his meeting with Virginie Efira a few years ago: “I was convinced that we were going to have a story and at the same time, as soon as I was next to her, it was panic. We didn’t say a word to each other. When there were only three of us, for example, and one person left, I said to myself: Oh no, I’m going to find myself next to her. “, he confided. And he continued: “The attraction I felt for her was so strong that I didn’t see how we could have had a relationship other than the one I expected.”

Virginie Efira responds to criticism
If their relationship got off to a flying start, Virginie Efira has sometimes received criticism about her age difference with Niels Schneider. But the actress doesn’t care about these attacks as she assured in the columns of the magazine “Vogue”: “I notice that it’s a question that we never ask Niels… We only ask it to women, never to a guy who is ten years older than his partner”, she explained. And to specify to “Elle” this time: “At 22, I married someone who was ten years older than me, and never, never, did anyone talk to me about this age difference! And then in fact, when you live a story, you don’t ask yourself this question”.
