Recently, the legendary Ivorian footballer Didier Drogba was among those who attended the Ballon d'Or Award Ceremony held in Paris, the capital of France, where the football players of the year were honored. As one of the hosts of the night, a video capturing Drogba's moments at the event caused an uproar on social media. In the footage, it was claimed that the woman Drogba arrived with was his girlfriend, but when the famous footballer saw his wife at the event, he allegedly left his girlfriend to go to her and posed for the press. The truth of the incident has come to light.

However, it quickly became clear that the events did not reflect the truth. Didier Drogba attended the ceremony with his girlfriend Gabrielle Lemaire, with whom he has been together for a while. Moments of Drogba posing on the red carpet with his girlfriend emerged, and it was revealed who the other woman in the footage was. The woman who was presented as Drogba's wife turned out to be none other than Sandy Heribert, another host of the Ballon d'Or.
