The swimmer Florent Manaudou, now retired after the Paris Olympics, has a real secret asset: his new partner.
Flag door during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Florent Manaudou is no longer to be presented. Swimming legend, he won six medals in total in three different Olympiads, including a title of Olympic champion on the 50m freestyle at the London Olympics in 2012. Now retired, the Frenchman will end up on the dance dances With the stars, on TF1 at the start of the year.
If her performances are eagerly awaited by the public, they will also be by his family and relatives including his partner, Lola Dumenil, who has shared her life for several months, after her break with her fiancé, the Danish swimmer Pornille Blume.
His partner has also become an essential element in the life of Florent Manaudou. As essential as the young woman is discreet. We just know that she is following a course in South Africa, in strategic marketing and commercial development, at the Skema business school.
In an interview with Gala A few months ago, Florent Manaudou confided in this relationship and its importance. “She brings me a lot of serenity. I went to train in South Africa where she was continuing her studies. She is essential in my sports project, but she has mainly become essential in my life”.
In the program Legend on YouTube with Guillaume Pley, Florent Manaudou explained his meeting with the young woman, after … a poem posted on a social network! “In fact, I am a hypersensitive and I put [un poème] in ‘story’. She replied something funny and we started to chat. When we tell the story, people don’t believe us. They say: ‘Florent has notoriety, he does not read his messages’. I don’t read everything, but I read, and it made me laugh. “
Despite the age gap between the two lovers – Lola Dumenil is ten years younger than Florent Manaudou -, the Marseillais is evolved and why not become a father in the coming months or the next few years. “I saw friends having children during their career, they were less efficient. But it is logical if you wake up every night … I always told myself that I would have children at the end of my career. But I saw that it was long and that I still did everything I liked. [Désormais]I can try to have children if I want. “
