Hugues Aufray is in mourning. According to France Dimanche, the mother of his children is dead. He had married Hélène Faure in 1951 and had never divorced despite their separation.
Hugues Aufray mourns one of the women of his life. According to information from France Dimanche, Hélène, the mother of her children, died on October 6. “in their property of Orgnac-l’Aven in Ardèche”. The one the singer married in 1951 was buried on October 13, not far from the farm where Hugues Aufray used to live. Our colleagues do not reveal any circumstances of this tragic loss for the 93-year-old artist. Yet separated from her for years, the singer is “broken with grief at losing the mother of his children”according to our colleagues. It must be said thatHélène Faure meant a lot in the life of Hugues Aufray.
In a relationship with Muriel since 2005, the singer has never divorced the mother of his two daughters Marie and Charlotte. It was in 1951 that Hugues Aufray married this dancer and granddaughter of art historian Elie Faure. “Our biological clocks, between men and women, are not the same. I don’t know Viagra! I’m still married to the same woman I knew when I was 20. She can’t follow me“he had thus entrusted to Le Matin in 2015. And to add “clear conscience” : “I am a normal man, with an important professional activity and therefore, it is true, I have a young companion. I am not lying to either of them”. Hélène Faure has therefore come to terms with this situation, to say the least, particular.
Hugues Aufray: “Today, I have a life of a man of twenty-five years”
She had to learn to live with her husband’s fickle character. “I can admit, I was not a very faithful husband, declared the artist in The TV years of Mireille Dumas. We would sometimes go on tour for two, three months… you know it’s difficult for a boy of 30 or 35.” “I am married to a woman I knew when I was 18, I have two daughters and grandchildren, but I have a young woman in my life too, who is charming, young and beautiful”, summed up Hugues Aufray a few months ago. In the arms of her “young companion” as he likes to call it, he found a new youth that fills him with happiness. “It’s the first time that I feel so free. As if I had found my 20 years. I lead a new existence with my young companion, Muriel”he confided to the Journal du dimanche.
At 93, Hugues Aufray would not change his past and his present love for anything in the world. “It is claimed that lost time cannot be made up for. I am trying to prove the contrary”, added the nonagenarian singer. With Muriel, Hugues Aufray could not be more fulfilled. “I live with my young partner, Muriel, our two cats, and I take care of my music all day, whereas before I had no time (…) Today, I have a life of a twenty-five-year-old man. I take this opportunity to achieve all that I had not yet accomplished”, he swore in the columns of Nice-Matin, very happy. Widower of Hélène Faure, Hugues Aufray will be able to count on the support of his darling but also of the two daughters born from his marriage which will have lasted more than 70 years.
