Between two filmingsDeal done on France 2, Julia Vignali agreed to answer questions from Marie-Amélie Druesne for the podcast Current Women. The famous presenter spoke about her career marked by numerous jobs before she finally managed to establish herself on television. But that’s not all, Kad Merad’s wife was also asked about her personal life. At 48, she is the proud mother of a boy, Luigi, born from her previous marriage to a screenwriter, from whom she separated in 2014. “My son is quite simply the love of my life”, she declared at first. The one who replaced Sophie Davant at the helm of the show selling objects explained that her son had not “never been complicated”. “I have been very lucky.” It must be said thatshe believes she has always been a cool mother. She said she followed the method of actress Karin Viard.
Julia Vignali tries to be a non-intrusive mother
“I was interviewing Karin Viard […] and she said to me a sentence which is very inspiring: ‘I raised my children with the idea that if they wanted to see me, it was more for pleasure and not for duty’. I try to be that mother, not intrusive, so that my son wants to see me for pleasure and not for duty.”, she confided again. Thus, Julia Vignali knows that when she spends time with her son, it is because he wants it as much as she does. And if he’s not with her, “I tell myself that he has better things to do and, at 17, we have better things to do than stay at home with our mother. When he sees me, it’s because he wants it, it’s natural. He’s living his life and I’m proud of it.”. The mother then recalled that children were not destined to spend their entire lives with their parents. “Children are made to take off from home, to fly away.” “They will leave one day, you have to get used to it […] There is nothing more ungrateful than a child, and that’s a good thing. Fortunately our children are not saying to themselves that they cannot do this or that because of their mother”, she declared again with humor. One thing is certain, Julia Vignali is not a possessive mother for the greatest happiness of her son.
