While he was invited to the microphone of Europe 1, Friday December 29, 2023, Philippe Lellouche was questioned on numerous subjects by journalists, including one of the hits of Jean-Jacques Goldman, the famous interpreter of I give you Or Fly Me. But it’s the song She had a baby on her own, released in 1987, which was the object of all attention. If at first glance the link between the singer, the actor and this emblematic title is not obvious, Philippe Lellouche explained that there was one, and not the least. The famous baby mentioned in the song is none other than the woman who shares his life, Vanessa Boisjean. “Well, she’s my wife! Yeah, it’s incredible.”he declared full of pride before explaining that his “mother-in-law’s name is Lily Boisjean, and she was the friend and press secretary of Jean-Jacques Goldman, They’ve been close all the time and they still are.”.
Jean-Jacques Goldman is the godfather of Vanessa Boisjean
Michaël Goldman’s father and Philippe Lellouche’s stepmother are close friends, as he explained on Europe 1. “Indeed, when she became pregnant, Jean-Jacques wrote this song for her, and the baby became my wife. I met her eight years ago now.” Vanessa Boisjean, the actor’s current partner and mother of his daughter born in 2018, is therefore the baby the singer talks about in his song, in which he evokes the daily life of a single mother who “runs all day […] from nanny to babysitter. Packs of diapers in four-hour bottles”. A resolutely modern portrait of a woman for the time. If Gilles Lellouche’s brother was amused by this unusual link, his wife preferred to keep a little suspense about this news at the start of their relationship. “It’s not something you say on the first date,” he confided with humor before explaining: “I knew it well after”. Proof that the iconic singer and the mother of Vanessa Boisjean are close, he is even the godfather of his daughter. A link that Philippe Lellouche’s partner has never highlighted with her husband, unlike him. “Besides, she doesn’t talk about it, it’s me who often brags about itI brag about that!”he concluded.
