Nathalie Marquay: Jean-Pierre Pernaut’s widow smiles for her first public appearance since her husband’s funeral

For Nathalie Marquay, life is gradually resuming its course. A month and a half after the death of her husband, Jean-Pierre Pernaut, the former Miss France honored an appointment of the most important this Friday, April 22. That day, Lou and Tom’s mother was present at the Paris Book Festival. On the spot, she was able to meet her fans, who came to have her book autographed, Me, I believe in it. In her fourth book, the widow of the TF1 journalist confides in the many premonitions she has experienced. “For me it’s natural, it’s part of me. From there to say that it’s a gift… In fact, we have all that in us. Some are more sensitive, more receptive, to the signs that we sends them. Afterwards, we decide whether to work on it or not”she explained in the columns of Gala when this book was published. On site, Nathalie Marquay found a smile.

“Thanks to this, I saved his life several times. For example when he was put in stents. I had dreams, I had a bad feeling, I told him to go to a doctor, he never had the weather, remembered Nathalie Marquay. There was nothing on his electrocardiogram, but the cardiologist pushed the exams: his main artery was blocked at ninety-eight percent. He was operated on three days later.” For Nathalie Marquay, this presence at the Salon du livre was therefore important. At the Grand Palais Éphémère, she surely also had the opportunity to meet fans of Jean-Pierre Pernaut, like her, devastated by the death of the journalist, swept away by cancer which he fought bravely. After his death, she had already found the strength to go back on stage to perform a very important play.

Nathalie Pernaut: “We couldn’t wait to be together, to be an old couple”

“It is our eternal love combined with our common passion for the theater that allowed me to go on stage last night. You made me promise not to let go of anything, I did it, surrounded by kindness and the support of my accomplices in this play ‘Les tontons farceurs’ that you loved so much, she wrote on her Instagram account. (…) I miss you so much.” Since the death of Jean-Pierre Pernaut, Nathalie Marquay has been supported by the four children of the journalist. The close-knit clan meets regularly for symbolic occasions such as when Olivier and Tom took part in a car race. But the mourning is complicated for the ex-beauty queen. “We were eager to be together, to be an old couple, to be like everyone elseshe confided, in tears, in the 20 hours of TF1 the day after the death of her husband. But Jean-Pierre is not like everyone else.”
