François Ruffin “sometimes tender, sometimes distant”: extremely rare testimony from his ex Johanna Silva on their relationship

If he is one of the most popular figures on the left, and he does not hesitate to regularly attack the government and right-wing leaders, François Ruffin is not the most talkative about his private life . Discreet father of two pre-teens, he even remains very secretive about his love affairs. However, it was one of his ex-partners and collaborators, Johanna Silva, who decided to tell a little part of it in an event book…
Their love story ended a long time ago: in 2019, François Ruffin and Johanna Silva, his collaborator and companion, saw their paths separate. From a private but also professional point of view, since although she remains close to the political ideas of the Picardy deputy and La France Insoumise, the young woman abandons her position as parliamentary assistant and moves to the south of France.
Always very discreet and extremely secretive about his private life, François Ruffin has never officially addressed the subject. However, according to the portrait devoted to her by our colleagues at Libération this Tuesday March 5, the young woman has been everywhere since their meeting in 2013. Present at her side during the success of the documentary Merci Patron!, which won a César in 2017, but also of the launch of the Nuit Debout movement, she was also close to him during the legislative campaign in 2017.
