Towards the end of the episode, images from the filming of À nous 2 Canada, a show airing on Évasion in which the couple visited the country to discover it from a different light, sparked a juicy revelation. Julie Ringuette said her brain was often in a fog during this project due to the recent birth of her daughter Sam, workload and breastfeeding.
During the long days of filming, the actress carried her breast pump with her every day and forgot about it at a time when she had no less than 14 hours of work ahead of her.
In pain, she had to temporarily leave the filming location and isolate herself in the toilet with her breasts full of milk. A few minutes later, Pascal Morrissette joins her and asks what can be done to help her crying friend, who believes she will have to go to the hospital if a solution is not found quickly. She tells him to empty it.
At that moment, “I cry for my life and my boyfriend, it makes him sick, but we love each other (…),” she remembers.
The technicians thought they were doing something else in the toilet, the actress admits with a laugh and assures that what was happening was “anything but sexy”.
Remember that the couple, who have been married for just over twelve years, are parents to two daughters, Sam and Eva.
