Gabrielle Lemaire, Didier Drogba’s girlfriend, almost got hit in the face while walking the Ballon d’Or red carpet with a viral video now falsely accusing her of being his mistress and French journalist Sandy of being Drogba’s wife
The 46-year-old Chelsea legend Ddidier Drogba was present to host the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris on Monday night, where Manchester City striker Rodri accepted the highest honor. He wore a black bow tie and a white blazer to dress up for the event. Gabrielle, Drogba’s partner, looked gorgeous in a white outfit for the occasion.

However, she had an uncomfortable encounter with reporter Sandy Heribert, who co-presented the Ballon d’Or prizes with Drogba. The reporter stretched her flowing dress as Sandy led Drogba to the cameras for a photo with the Ivory Coast icon.
It nearly struck Gabrielle in the face while doing so, but she swiftly dodged out of the way. As admirers responded, the video became viral on social media.
While some reports have claim that Drogba was caught by his wife at the Ballon d’Or after he went to the ceremony with his girlfriend, such is not the case. Drogba who is divorced was accompanied to the awards by his girlfriend Gabrielle who has been wrongly claimed as his mistress in the viral video on Twitter/X.
