His desire to remain discreet is tested by current events. During his press conference this Thursday, the public prosecutor of Mont-de-Marsan, Olivier Janson, gave details about Soraya Miranda, the partner of Kendji Girac and mother of their daughter. She was present inside the caravan in which the singer was seriously injured by gunfire on Monday in Biscarrosse (Landes). He admitted to having wanted to “simulate” a suicide.
Originally from Switzerland
Kendji Girac and his partner Soraya Miranda have been a couple since 2014. They met in Switzerland the year the 27-year-old singer won the telecrochet “The Voice”, “and have never left each other” since, a- she explained to investigators during her hearing, the public prosecutor reported during this press conference this Thursday.
Soraya Miranda is not from the gypsy community. She is originally from Switzerland, where her family still lives. She visits the country very regularly, “every month”, according to prosecutor Olivier Janson.
Difficult integration
To investigators, Kendji Girac’s partner assured that their union had not been well regarded either in her family or in that of the singer.
The first years, the singer and Soraya Miranda lived a long-distance relationship, he living in the Paris region while she remained in her country of origin.
In 2020, they finally settled together in the Paris region. And, several months a year, Soraya Miranda and Kendji Girac travel with the Travelers.
A discreet woman
Together, they have a child named Eva Alba, born in January 2021. “I understand that it’s intriguing, but we won’t see her. If I could not talk about it, I would. My work is my work,” he said about the little girl, to Paris Match in June 2021.
In an interview given to Radio Monaco At the end of 2022, Kendji Girac explained that his partner, whose first name was not known at the time, wanted to remain discreet. “She doesn’t want to put herself forward. It’s his choice. I tend to agree with her,” he explained, adding that it was his way of handling “something complicated: being the wife of a singer who has always left.” Photos of her are almost non-existent.
Soraya Miranda’s responsibility dismissed
From Monday, the investigators asked questions to the companion of the injured man, since she was inside in the caravan, from which the bullet was fired which hit him in the chest. At first, Kendji Girac assured that it was an accident. But “an untimely shooting is considered unlikely,” said the public prosecutor of Mont-de-Marsan this Thursday.
There was “no trace of a physical argument”, neither on Soraya Miranda, nor on Kendji Girac, assured Olivier Janson, specifying that the various expert opinions corroborated so far the version of the singer’s companion, who told the investigators that the singer had shot himself, while he was drunk and had consumed cocaine.
Kendji Girac would have wanted to “scare his wife”, according to his testimony, by “simulating a suicide” but by “forgetting to check whether or not the magazine included ammunition”, revealed the public prosecutor during his press conference this Thursday.
