Even if she can count on the precious support of her husband Raphael Lancret-Javal and their son Leo, some days are harder than others. This environment was obviously one of them. When a flaw becomes too obvious, Laura Smet sometimes decides to express it publicly, modestly sharing her emotions on social networks.
