Solenn Heussaff
Solenn Heussaff is well aware that many people—women and gay men—find her husband, Nico Bolzico, attractive. But she doesn’t mind and is not one bit surprised. What’s not to love? Her man, she said, is “kindhearted, intelligent and handsome.”
“It’s actually quite flattering. Of course, it’s always nice to hear when someone thinks you’re cute. So whether it’s a boy or girl having a crush on Nico, I’m happy,” she told reporters at a recent press conference for Regal Films’ coming comedy flick “My 2 Mommies,” which she topbills with Paolo Ballesteros and Maricel Soriano.
Everyone is free to have a look, but that’s where it pretty much ends. “Some of my friends … would tease me, asking if they could borrow Nico just for a night, because they’re feeling sick,” she related, laughing. “He’s mine!”
Despite knowing that her husband is a chick magnet, Solenn has never felt concerned about him mingling with other girls. “There are lots of pretty, talented women out there. And if he’s around other women, even if he’s abroad, I don’t ask—I trust him,” she said. “Our relationship is built on trust.”
It isn’t unusual to see photos of Nico in his underwear on Solenn’s Instagram Stories. But recently, she had the social media app buzzing after she uploaded a picture of her Argentine husband in the kitchen, with his butt partly covered by an emoji.
“He’s always walking around in his underwear or naked at night. I tell him that people from surrounding apartments will see him, and he’s just like, ‘I don’t care—they shouldn’t be looking, anyway,” Solenn related, adding that it’s not a big deal. “It’s just puwet.”
“But I won’t take a photo of his ‘front,’ she quickly added. “That’s mine!”
With all the attention Nico is getting, would Solenn allow him to enter show biz, too? “I don’t want. But he’s fine with endorsements or doing fun YouTube videos. Actually, he has more endorsements than I do—I’m a semimanager,” the 32-year-old model actress said.
As for the never-ending talk about having a baby soon, Solenn said she and Nico plan to try for one next year: “I want to have a boy and a girl. I would love to have a kid. We’re often busy, but we will make time for that. We will see.”
But while she has always been open about her life, she sees herself lying low, should she become pregnant—at least for the first few months.
“I won’t be tweeting or anything like that in the first six months. It’s nice to still keep something for yourself,” admitted Solenn, who surmised that she would most likely take after her mother’s parenting style.
“I’m just chill when I’m with friends, but like my mom, I think I will be strict as a parent,” she pointed out. “And I should be. Because with Nico around, it will be like having two kids!”
She likewise knows that being a mother may affect her career. “Things will likely change… Maybe my peg wouldn’t be sexy anymore. Or maybe it would still be sexy, but in a different way,” she said.
In “My 2 Mommies,” which opens on May 9, Solenn plays Monique, a woman from Manu’s (Paolo Ballesteros) past who reveals that he actually got her pregnant, years before moving on and entering a relationship with another man.
“The script was fun but has a bit of drama—it’s refreshing,” said Solenn, who has also had the “honor” of working with Maricel Soriano for the second time, after “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow” in 2011. “She hasn’t changed. She’s still so beautiful and funny on set.”
