A couple that lasts

Ben-Sylvester Strautmann was born on December 31, 1998 in northwest Germany. The young man is the heir of a family that made its fortune in agricultural machinery. At a young age, he moved to the Rock with his family and stood out in high-level basketball by being part of the national under-18 team. The young man is now continuing his studies in business management in London, and plays DJ in his spare time in several clubs on the Côte d'Azur.

Telva
