While she is the poster girl for Asghar Farhadi’s next film, Parallel storieswhich will be released in theaters on May 14, Virginie Efira is invited in “Le Portrait de la Semaine” on the show “Sept à Huit”, Sunday May 10. In an extract published on the program’s Instagram account, ahead of its broadcast, the actress agreed to talk about her age. She particularly spoke of the difference that separates her and her companion, Niels Schneider. Indeed, the star of Live Privately by Rebecca Zlotowski has just celebrated her 49th birthday and her partner is preparing to celebrate his 39th birthday.
But this gap, which can often give rise to certain comments, has never bothered or made the actress feel self-conscious. HAS”I understand curiosity quite well at the beginning, about things that might seem more original. But I have the impression, fortunately, that these things are changing», a-t-elle confié à  Audrey Crespo-Mara. «Your age is a given. Data which is despite everything… which means things. If at 20, you think you have everything figured out about life, well no, you’re 20… If at 63, you think you can have a child, well that’s going to be a bit complicated… But it’s one factor among many others! This is not what represents your identity.»

“Things sometimes happen without us wanting themâ€
It’s been 8 years since Virginie Efira shared the life of Niels Schneider whom she met on the set of the film An impossible love by Catherine Corsini. In August 2023, the couple welcomed their first son, Hiro. A child that Virginie Efira had at age 46, 10 years after giving birth to her daughter, Ali, from her relationship with the director Mabrouk El Mechri. HAS”It’s an old age too. Things sometimes happen without us wanting them, even in quite unprecedented ways.“, the actress then confided in front of the TF1 cameras about the arrival of Hiro in her life, while adding that she experienced this second pregnancy more serenely. HAS”I still think that the first step, the one which is the entry into maternity or fatherhood, the one which is still another relationship with the world, which changes the situation, is still full of wonderful things“, she said. HAS”It’s discovering unconditional love, but, sorry guys, it’s also discovering the loss of carefreeness completely. This is made for me, I already know it.»
And it is also a confidence that she had already made to Madame Figaro in December 2024. «Today, with Hiro, I am more serene… I think that the way we look at motherhood has changed. Alternative testimonies were heard on TV sets and elsewhere. We know that women can also feel bad at the birth of a child, feel overwhelmed – even if we agree that it remains the happiest day of their life», at-elle déclaré. TO”Being able to talk about it makes you feel much better. When Hiro was born, I was aware of all this and, as a result, I was fine. I also have to say that the father of my child is very cool.» With these words, she further breaks the taboo around late motherhood among women.
