When they met for the first time in 1999, it was love at first sight: between Charlotte Valandrey and Arthur Lecaisne, the current is strong. Everything goes very quickly, moreover, since the actress marries her prince charming the same year, before welcoming their little Tara in 2000. A beautiful story that will spoil in the following years, since both take the decision to separate in 2002 before a divorce in 2003.
And the troubles don’t stop there for the actress: HIV positive since she was 18, she feels that her heart is getting weaker and weaker, tired of triple therapy. A difficult moment, during which she lost 90% of her cardiac capacities, and during which her husband will not let her go. “Arthur and I have been married for four years. During my illness, my husband was always very present. Our roads parted after“, she had told.
A break that “was painful, but necessary“, according to the actress, and which notably allowed her ex-husband to start a new life. Today, he is the father of two young boys, the last of which, named Lazare, was born in 2020. Having become an author of cookbooks, his project is to make his art loved even by those who don’t know much about it.
But above all, Arthur Lecaisne must now take care alone with his daughter, very young, at only 21 years old, to face such mourning. Fortunately, Charlotte Valandrey had full confidence in him for the future of the young woman: “Today we have a good relationshipshe confided recently. He lives 50 meters from my house and takes great care of Tara. The essential, in my eyes“.
This Thursday, a tribute will be paid to Charlotte Valandrey in Paris and Tara could make a rare appearance there, surely accompanied by her dad, always behind her. Strong and dignified during her mother’s funeral, she paid tribute to her in particular in front of a very moved audience: “He was the strongest person I knew, with the greatest rage to live. His freedom has finally been returned to him, his fight is finally over”she had said.
