“I cut myself off from everything for a month. I didn't watch TV or my phone. I really needed to take the time and recharge my batteries,” he revealed to Frédéric Lopez during his appearance on the France 2 show, A Sunday in the countrysidebroadcast yesterday. “The only thing I needed was my daughter, my wife, my family.

“A very strong woman”

However, statements about the circumstances of the incident during the investigation raised questions about his relationship and an alleged argument with his wife, Soraya. Rumors that would have affected Eva Alba's mother. “My wife has been there every moment, every moment. She gave me strength and tenderness like never before. She was a little shocked at what was said about her because none of it was true. She is a very strong, wonderful woman, who managed to get me back on my feet,” said Kendji Girac.

Soraya had already spoken out last May on this subject to the Parisian to set the record straight. “Kendji never blackmailed me into suicide, let me be clear. This never existed,” she insisted at the time, adding that her partner had never been “violent” towards her. “Since she left the hospital, we have been together with our daughter, obviously […] The three of us need to get together as a family. How could anyone say that I had left France with our daughter? I don’t understand how such information could have been published.”
