The story in the press, the very strong implication( a story I read in Paris Match)-was that it is Charlotte who dumped Alex Dellal as soon as she met Gad.
Both Paris Match and Point de Vue describe the Gad/Charlotte matchup as a coup de foudre, something that was immediate when they met either shortly before or after the New Year of 2012.
.
Well, that kind of magazine usually make up stories. We know for certain it wasn't like that since Gad himself said to the press that he and Charlotte had been friends for a long time and knew each other well before they became a couple.
He also saif he thought that been friends with her before they became a couple made their relationship more solid.
So, no, it was not a coup de froudre and Charlotte did not drop Alex when she met Gad.
Actually, thought we can not know I always thought that It was Alex who had put an end to the relationship because inthe months before Charlotte started dating Gad she was looking very sad and lonely.
Probably, the relationship was just spent. After all they lived in different cities, none of them seemed willing to move and Charlotte was very invested with her horses at that point.
My guess is that the relationship was very tired at that point, and was half dying and Alex just put and end to the agony...
