IA about the shadiness of their relationship especially since Sciamma is 11 years older and they met when Adèle was so young.

Did they really start dating when she was 17 though? I've never been able to find out, all I know is that they only first were public in 2014 when Adèle thanked her when she won her César and they had been spotted together a year or so before that. Their relationship timeline is a huge mystery mostly, they never even publicly announced they broke up (I'm pretty sure a lot of people think they're still together).

Oof, thanks for the info.

Yeah, IA from the outside it definitely looks predatory but I'm glad that Adèle still feels positively about it.

yeah idc that it’s legal in france it’s weird to date a 17 year old when you’re in your late 20s
