The famous presenter Jacques Martin had been married to Cécilia Attias before she became Nicolas Sarkozy’s companion and David Martin gave an update on their breakup.
Famous presenter who became cult over time, Jacques Martin was also a seducer and had married in just marriage with some of his companions, including Cécilia Ciganer-Albeniz, who later became Cécilia Sarkozy, then Attias, in 1984. Together, the couple have two daughters, Judith and Jeanne-Marie. If the story goes that Cécilia left her husband for the future President of the Republic who had married them when he was mayor of Neuilly,david martinthe host’s son, set the record straight.
“Cécilia put up with things and did a job that few people know about”
Invited by Jordan de Luxe, the cook David Martin, son of Jacques Martin who died in 2007, returned to the episode of the break between his father and Cécilia Attias, defending the latter. “Cécilia put up with things and did a job that few people know about”he first stated,“Cécilia, she is deserving. But that remains between the eyes of those who know a little history. She has been there. She has been there as far as she could be. So afterwards, what what we see from the outside is not necessarily a reflection of what really happened”he said, without wanting to go into too much detail.
Relaunched by Jordan de Luxe, the son of Jacques Martin wanted to be precise “I’m not talking about Nicolas Sarkozy. I’m talking about Cécilia”, which has long been blamed for having left for Nicholas Sarkozy.Starting with his own sister, Elise in the documentary on Jacques Martin “Behind your applause”. At the time, coming back to this episode, she said “There, in addition, there was the feeling of being betrayed by the one who was the godfather of his daughters. He had confided his friendship to Nicolas Sarkozy and it all ended in this adultery. He got double trouble.” For David Martin, things are a little more nuanced “That’s what people see and that’s what came out, what’s published. That’s the story. Now there’s an internal story and it’s less clear-cut than that and I’m still very evasive” he concluded, not wanting to say more on the subject.
A father present “in his own way” for his eight children
If the new generations vaguely know his name, many have spent their Sunday afternoons in front of “L’école des fans”, “Le petit Rapporteur” or “Dimanche Martin”. It’s that Jacques Martin worked a lot and seemed very absent from the education of his eight children. There too, david martin came to qualify the statement, last May at the microphone of Sud Radio “It’s a somewhat accepted idea! It’s not that he didn’t take care of his children, because he really took care of us… but in his own way, he explained. Me, I am apart, because I am the eldest. It was a time when he was not yet the star he later became. And then the first one is always a little more watched and pampered“, recognised david martin. “But he took care of it [de ses enfants] much more than you think. In his own way, but he was very close.” A vision he does not share with his sister Elise, who nevertheless indicated concerning his father “The reality is that he had such a passion for his job that he didn’t have time to be attentive with us. But I never blamed him“.
