Michel Drucker: why has he never had children?

In the 1970s, host Michel Drucker fell under the spell of a certain Dany Saval. “When Claude François introduced me to Dany, I had this wonderful intuition that she would be the woman of my life”, he had declared in the columns of Gala and added: “Like all long-term couples , the sky was sometimes overcast, but the sun came back very quickly. I never thought that my couple would explode. I was certain that I would grow old with Dany”.
