An anecdote several years old has just resurfaced thanks to the rich news of Lara Fabian. The Belgian-Canadian singer has just seen the page close The Voice where she played the role of coach alongside Amel Bent and the very lively Tayc. The native of Etterbeek is also preparing to reunite with her Belgian audience from November 12 at Forest National as part of his tour, I am here. Several Belgian media recalled on this occasion a little-known or forgotten episode of his personal life. In 2010, the interpreter of I love you separated from her very beautiful villa located in Brussels. According to several media including Paris Match Belgium et Sudinfo the transaction would have been concluded for an amount estimated at one million euros. A sale carried out discreetly, for the woman who in 2007 became the mother of little Lou, with his then companion the director and producer Gérard Pullicino.
An acquisition made by a very great tennis player, friend of Lara Fabian
The buyer of this property is none other than Justine Henin, former world number one in Belgian tennis. At the time of the sale, the two women had actually known each other for several years and were even friends. According to Paris Match Belgium still, their relationship dates back to 2006. In 2009, Justine Henin presented a television show dedicated to Lara Fabian and also appeared in one of the artist’s music videos. A way of illustrating the closeness that existed between them, long before the sale of the Brussels villa. The Belgian magazine The eveningreveals exclusively at the time of the sale that the tenniswoman “resumes“to his friend Lara Fabian, his villa in Brussels. At the time the newspaper reported a “opulent villa worth one million euros, which guarantees calm and serenity“, located in the “quartier ultrachic” outside Uccle (Ukkel).
A friendship that lasts between the singer and the sportswoman
In the columns of Gala, in 2016, we learned that the two women crossed paths “for the first time in the lobby of a Parisian hotel” and the affinities immediately flowed in. At this time in their lives, Lara Fabian devotes herself to her family life and the other has taken what she believes to be her sporting retirement. It will ultimately only last 18 months… Still in Gala the two women with diametrically opposed characters confided in tandem about their beautiful friendship.
Justine Henin did not hesitate to declare that the singer was “one of his most beautiful encounters”. Lara Fabian said she admired the tennis comeback of “Ju” (nickname only authorized for close friends). “His return, she said, is new proof of his determination, of his humility. She knew how to question herself. We also meet on this point. In my life as a singer, I went through periods of berezina. I saw it as an opportunity to refocus.” While Lara Fabian is enjoying the success we know today, Justine Henin has this time officially retired and created a professional tennis training center, the Justine Henin Academy. In terms of private life, she also became a mother, of Lalie since March 20, 2013 and of Victor since May 3, 2017…
