Since the death of Johnny, Laeticia Hallyday “screw it all [ses] love stories”, in his own words. Indeed, on December 16, 2023, the singer’s widow spoke frankly about her daily life without her husband in an interview on the set of C The weekly on France 5. She thus mentioned his very complicated life since the death of Johnny Hallyday from lung cancer, December 5, 2017. A life, particularly in love, tinged with guilt. “In all the promises we made to each other, he didn’t tell me or ask me to be happy“, she confided on set. “He didn’t give me the blessing to be happy. So it’s very complicated to fall in love again, very complicated”she added with blaring honesty. “It’s difficult to love without guilt. I have to learn to live, to fall in love without guiltwithout feeling like you’re cheating on the person you love or the love of your life because you live with guilt.”. A very hard feeling to live with that never leaves her: “I have it within me, with which I must live and with which I must move forward.”
Laeticia Hallyday “advances, one step after the other”
While it has now been six years since Johnny Hallyday left this world, his widow is aware that she has the right to start a new life, and that she even needs to. But finding love again is very difficult for Jade and Joy’s mother: “It is true that it’s not easy to fall in love again. Besides, I screw up all my love stories because I live with this feeling of guilt. But I’m working on it. I’m moving forward, one step at a time, but I’m moving forward.”, she admits. Today, the one who very regularly pays tribute to her husband knows that she must learn to rebuild her life without the pillar that he represented for her: “It’s life that separated us”she recalled on set. “We didn’t leave each other, we didn’t divorce. It was life that took him from me. So, today, I have no other choice but to learn to live without him”concluded Laeticia Hallyday, a bit fatalistic.
