Eugenie Bouchard date for charity during coronavirus
According to Daily Mail, Eugenie Bouchard joined media personality Allie LaForce on an Instagram live session for raising charity for healthcare workers during coronavirus. That is the moment when a person by the name of Bob declared his love for Eugenie Bouchard and labelled her a 'smokeshow'. His comment caught the attention of LaForce, who then negotiated for a Eugenie Bouchard date with the fan.
According to the report, Bob initially offered £400 ($500) for the date but LaForce asked him to pay £2,410 ($3,012) to feed healthcare workers on Eugenie Bouchard's behalf. Bob also agreed to put in another £800 ($1,000) on the condition that Bouchard would imitate the British accent to perfection. With this being a noble cause, Bouchard turned out to be a good sport and completed the imitation, though clarifying that she is not good at it.
Being an admirer of Eugenie Bouchard, Bob agreed for a £3,800 ($4,751 or ₹3.62 lakh) date, after which the World No.5 confirmed the pair would go on a date.
