Reunion widely expected. In an Instagram story posted on her account on March 25, 2026, dancer Elsa Bois, currently competing in the 15th season of “Dancing with the Stars” alongside singer Julien Lieb, appears alongside Florent Manaudou, with whom she reached the final of the show last year. The duo will thus step onto the studio 217 floor this Friday, March 27, 2026 on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the French version of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Since the end of the competition, the swimmer and the dancer have made multiple public appearances, fueling speculation about a possible love story. One thing is certain: Florent Manaudou and Elsa Bois are inseparable.
A meeting in front of the cameras Looking back, Florent Manaudou and Elsa Bois met in 2025 during the 14th season of “Dancing with the Stars.” At that time, the swimmer was in a relationship with Lola Dumenil, whom he was seen with at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Elsa Bois, on the other hand, was in a relationship with influencer Michou, whom she had met in 2021, also on the “Dancing with the Stars” set.
In front of the cameras, Florent Manaudou and Elsa Bois delivered performances that took them to the final, where they were defeated by the duo formed by singer Lénie and her dance partner Jordan Mouillerac. Their bond is evident. Once the show ended, the two partners separated from their respective partners, a situation that was not without difficulties for Elsa Bois, who became a victim of cyberbullying.
Common appearances, but no official announcement Since then, Florent Manaudou and Elsa Bois have been inseparable. They were first seen together in November 2025 at the Stade de France, and their first official appearance as a couple was in January 2026 during Paris Fashion Week. They later attended the premiere of the film “Hurlevent” on February 2, 2026 at the Grand Rex in Paris. In March 2026, they were photographed in the stands of the Palais des Sports de Tremblay during a men’s handball match.
These public appearances show the two dance partners being extremely affectionate towards each other. However, there has been no official confirmation of their relationship yet.
In an interview with “Télé-Loisirs” in March 2026, Florent Manaudou emphasized the importance of protecting his private life. He stated, “I live my life normally. Rumors or what people say, that’s their business. My private life remains private.” Could this official confirmation finally take place on the dance floor of “Dancing with the Stars,” where it all began?
