Speaking in 2012 about dating younger men, when she was romancing a then-24 year old French dancer, Brahim Zaibat, she said: “I didn’t choose to, you know, I didn’t, like, write down on a piece of paper, ‘I’m now going to have a relationship with a younger man’.
“That’s just what happened. You see, that’s the romantic in me. I just met someone that I cared for, and this happened to be his age.”
