It took him a while before he find your soul mate. Usually discreet about her private life, Mimie Mathy agreed to open the door to her privacy, during a documentary retracing his journey, broadcast on Monday December 25 on TF1. As part of this project, the woman who recently spoke about the Palmade affair, for example confided never-before-seen images of his marriage to Benoist Gerard, celebrated in August 2005.”I wondered if I would manage, for the duration of a celebration, to mix my blood family and my heart family, the one that I built for myself as my career progressed“, she explains to 7 Days TV. And to add about his wedding in which we see Muriel Robin, Liane Foly and several members of his family singing together: “Johnny offered to be my best man and everyone had fun, in complete simplicity, without any photos appearing in the press. We spent a moment suspended, surrounded by the people we loved. This is the reflection of my life.”
If today she is happy and fulfilled in love, his love life has not always been a long, quiet river, as she suggests. “I only had complicated stories with princes who are not charming, or even already taken“, she confides, in complete frankness, during this interview published this Thursday, December 14. “And at 45, when I had given up on love, Benoist arrived in my life. After two months we were living together“, she recalls. Met late in life, the actress and her husband did not have a child together.

Mimie Mathy: why she didn’t have children
If the actress slipped into her role of mother-in-law with ease, she has never known the joys of motherhood. Her husband, however, was not against the idea of expanding the family. “Already a father of four children, he wasn’t against the idea of us having a baby“, she says. But Mimie Mathy preferred to give it up: “At the age I was, and for a woman with my body shape, it was not easy to consider pregnancy.. We gave it up without it being a frustration for me“, assures the one who is today at the head of a beautiful and large blended family. “I enjoyed the happiness of couple life and I became the step-mother of her children, who made me a fulfilled grandmother of eight grandchildren! And it’s probably not over yet!“, she rejoices.
