Véronique met the future star of Real in 1989. They began a relationship and were married five years later at the town hall of Bordeaux, because Zidane was playing there at the time. Recalling the first time the pair met, Hermel wrote the following in Zidane’s biography: “The first time they met was in 1989, in the canteen of the youth hostel workers in which they both lived.
