It was almost thirty years ago… In March 1995, Laeticia Boudou met Johnny Hallyday in Miami, in the United States. Very much in love, the couple married the following year in Neuilly-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine). If certain members of the entourage of the singer – who died on December 5, 2017 at the age of 74 – were reluctant about this marriage due to their large age differences, the parents of Jade and Joy loved each other until the singer’s last breath. Saturday December 16, 2023, it’s on the tray of C the weeklyon France 5 that the 48-year-old young woman confided in their relationship. “Johnny was an extremely possessive, jealous person. I belonged to him. I was very submissive to my husband”she said, before specifying: “Because it was my choice and because I didn’t marry an ordinary man. It was another generation and it was my life and I don’t regret anything. Yes, there were complicated passages, but It strengthened our love.”.
Laeticia Hallyday: “I don’t assume to fall in love at all”
During this interview, the widow of the interpreter of I promise you has explained : “But today, it’s true that it’s not easy to fall in love. I screw up all my love stories because I live with this feeling of guilt. But I’m working on it. I’m taking one step at a time.”. In complete transparency, Laeticia Hallyday added: “I can’t accept falling in love at all, so it’s fragile. These are love stories that are fragile. I need to be able to live in the present moment, not live in the past”. As a reminder, following the death of her husband, the young woman was in a relationship with Pascal Baland from August 2019 to October 2020, before sharing the life of Jalil Lespert, from whom she separated in the summer of 2023. “In all the promises we made to each other, he didn’t tell me or ask me to be happy. He didn’t give me the blessing to be happy. So it’s very complicated to fall in love again, it’s very complicated…”she added to Aurélie Casse.
