In 2009, Thierry Ardisson embarked on an almost impossible mission: to conquer the heart of Audrey Crespo-Mara. The man in black experienced true love at first sight when he saw the journalist for the first time on the air of LCI. Yet still in a relationship with Béatrice Loustalan, the mother of his three children, the host of 93, Faubourg Saint-Honoré knew straight away that he had just seen the woman of his life for the first time. But Audrey Crespo-Mara was not free either, since she still lived with Aliou Mara, the father of her two sons. Another obstacle to their idyll? Their age difference. At the time, Thierry Ardisson was 60 years old when the journalist was 27 younger. But love was stronger than the years and after several meetings, the sidekick of Laurent Baffie and the presenter of Portrait of the week of Seven to eight never left each other again. Married since 2014, they are more in love than ever and do not make a subject of their years apart. “In our daily lives, it is not seen and we do not feel it at all”assured Thierry Ardisson in the columns of Gala, Thursday November 30, 2023.
Thierry Ardisson “try not to die right away”
On a daily basis, Thierry Ardisson is “even a lot more of a brat” than his wife. But the 74-year-old host knows it: if they do not suffer from their age difference, it is nevertheless very present. “It’s certain, I’m going to die before her.”he said in a couple interview at Gala. For “delay this deadline”he changed his habits and notably said goodbye to cigarettes, his guilty pleasure for decades. “I will be 75 years old on January 6 and, following my hot air balloon theory: to stay at the same altitude, you have to let go of ballasthe affirms to our colleagues. So I quit hard drugs in 1978, I drink very little, two glasses a day, I stopped smoking, I do two hours of sport a week: in short, I try not to die right away.” If it is not “not anxious about death” since he is “believer”, Thierry Ardisson wants to enjoy his life with Audrey Crespo-Mara as long as possible. And in order not to get tired of each other, they found a solution: to live separately. “Stepping on each other’s toes in the bathroom in the morning has never seemed very constructive to me…, he joked to Current wife on June 26, 2023. So, we spend fortunes on taxis. I even bought a studio in the building where she lives. I’m the only guy who buys a bachelor pad in his wife’s building!”
