The legend Zinedine Zidane is not infallible, especially with his wife.
Zinedine Zidane is the biggest legend of French sport for many French people. Even those who don’t know much about the sport or are simply not interested, have already heard of the former world champion at least once.
But do you know his family life? The legendary number 10 is married to Véronique, his wife since May 28, 1994, after a celebration at the Château du Haillan, in Bordeaux. The two had met in Cannes five years earlier, when Véronique was at the Rosella Hightower dance school and “Zizou” was practicing at AS Cannes. From this union four children were born, Enzo in 1995, Luca in 1998, Théo in 2002 and Elyaz in 2005.
Although love at first sight was instantaneous and it is very rare to see the two lovebirds in conflict, a seemingly innocuous swimsuit affair shook the couple a few years ago. When he spoke of his memories for Canal+ in 2022, the Frenchman indeed recalled an astonishing memory.
“The player who made me dream when I was in the stands was Enzo Francescoli. If I had had the opportunity to play a match with him, it would have been exceptional. I played against him and somewhere I realized my dream, that of having his jersey,” said Zizou. “He played for River Plate, and we exchanged jerseys when I played with Juventus. My dream was to sleep in his jersey especially (laughs). So I washed him, and I slept in his jersey . My wife wasn’t happy because there were all the ads there, but I said ‘once’ (laughs).”
We reassure you, this affair is mainly anecdotal for the couple. The former Real Madrid player never misses an opportunity to pay tribute to his wife. “We have been together for more than thirty-one years. I owe her a lot. I have always been able to count on my wife,” he was able to declare.
For Madame Figaro, the Frenchman made a rather cute confession to his wife more recently. “I like writing little notes to my wife. It’s becoming almost original today because with the telephone, we no longer tend to write. However, a note written by hand always has an effect and pleasure, I admit, my writing is not the most beautiful, nor the most fantastic, but that does not matter, the important thing is the gesture and what you put into it,” he said. -he confided.
