In fact, though Edith had many many lovers in her life, most of them (at least the famous ones) are known and Django is not among them.
On the other hand Django was 'married' twice and 1) marital infidelity was against gypsy mentality 2) Naguine was vigilant (as demonstrated by the Stage B girl episode) 3) Even Carolyn Burke did not report anything like that with Edith.
I would like to mention a fact that has nothing to do with Django or Edith sexuality, but the very first cabaret where Edith sang for the first time was 'Le Juan-les-Pins' 62 rue Pigalle (owned by Lulu de Montmartre) which becam later 'La Roulotte' that Lulu sold to Django.

The other is a photo of Marguerite MONNOT, Edith's music composer (The Poor People of Paris, Milord, Hymne à l'Amour, Irma la Douce and many more) after Django's death (1954 or 55) visiting Naguine. This prooves that there was link between Django and Edith. On the photo you can see young Babik playing a di Mauro and the two sisters of Django (Carmen and Sarah Tsanga).

Just a few words to say that Emmanuel Bonnini in his book "Piaf La vérité" (Pygmalion) says that the first appearance of Piaf in a club occured round 1935/1936 at "Le Jardin" 26 Bd de Clichy in Paris. Django Reinhardt played there with Norbert Glanzberg on piano. The owner of the bal asked to Piaf (that he had previously heard singing in the streets) to perform one song. She went up and spoke to Glanzberg in french but he was a german just arrived in Paris and didn't understood what Piaf asked. Django told her he only spoke german and accepted her in the band. She sang and then went down to ask for money among the dancers. Glanzberg was not really impressed by Piaf but later on he wrote many songs for her such as Padam Padam, etc...
It is very similar to what Carolyn Burke said in the previously mentionned book "No regrets"...
