"Virginie Efira's Second Pregnancy: The Actress Takes a Break from Filming for Motherhood"

2023-05-17 11:03:00

It was the great news of the week: after several months of rumors, Virginie Efira formalized her second pregnancy on the cover of the magazine. Telerama, a few days before its rise to the steps at the Cannes Film Festival. An unexpected baby, since the actress who celebrated her 46th birthday on May 5, but who seems to make her more fulfilled than ever: whether in Telerama or in the magazine ELLEto whom she also gave an interview, she is beaming!

However, if the arrival of this baby is excellent news for her, it is less so for her fans. Very prolific in recent years, rewarded with a César at the beginning of 2023 and in constant progression, the Franco-Belgian actress will indeed have to put a brake on her activities for several months just to give birth to this baby in the best conditions. A forced break which could last until her delivery at the end of the summer … but which plunges her into vagueness.

“It’s the first time that I have no plans to come, that I’m faced with the unknown“, she confided to Telerama. A little lost in this novelty, Virginie Efira knows, however, that this little breath away from the sets can do her good, she who has chained filming in recent years. A sustained rhythm that she assumes, surely for “catch up“.

A question of hope

“It doesn’t really depend on me, except to deprive myself of big roles“, she explains moreover. Major roles which she will have to do without for some time, for the most beautiful of reasons. Especially since this baby “at 45“means a lot to her.”Having a child at my age has to do with hope. We live in such a weird world“, she indeed explained to our colleagues fromElle.

A hope for her, but also for the future dad, her companion Niels Schneider. Without forgetting his daughter Ali, born of a former union with the director Mabrouk El Mechri.

A very protected little girl, whom she also agreed to mention in the same interview. “I find that she manages to live well with an identified mother. This is not obvious. She takes neither pride nor shame from it. I try to transmit to him a lucidity, a joy, a curiosity in existence“, she said with pride. And we imagine that this second child will follow in the footsteps of his big sister!
