Love, for Lara Fabian, is not just a favorite subject for her songs. The interpreter of “I love you”, a song written following a breakup, is indeed a great love story. Over the course of her career, she has had several stories, including that with Gabriel Di Giorgio, which ended with a marriage in 2013. But another of her best-known romances is the one she experienced with Patrick Fiori. Between 1998 and 2000, the two stars formed the hottest couple of the moment, before separating after two years. Today, the two singers speak freely about their relationship, as was the case this Saturday March 23, on the set of What an era!where Lara Fabian was a guest.
Taking part in the photocall game, the 54-year-old singer asked Aya Nakamura, a victim of racism for several weeks, if they would one day sing together, before asking news of Florent Pagny. Then the photo of Patrick Fiori appeared, to whom the singer addressed a single question: “I was delighted to see you again, how about you?” Léa Salamé then launched Lara Fabian on the subject of their story, recalling that they had been in love “during two years”. The Quebec star then corrected: “No, not as much, you have bad information.” A comment which did not fail to make the assembly laugh, and which they added: “I would have liked to, but it ended before then. That’s how it is.”
Patrick Fiori and Lara Fabian: the reasons for their breakup
The romance between the singer of “I love you” and the interpreter of Phoebus in Notre-Dame de Paris debuted in 1998, when the beautiful blonde had just received a Diamond Album and a double Gold Disc. Very much in love, the two seemed ready to build their life together. Unfortunately, after two years, their story ended, due to the over-publicization of their relationship. Closely observed by the paparazzi, seeing the smallest aspects of their relationship studied under a microscope, the two singers quickly no longer tolerate this constant overexposure and put an end to their romance. Today, they have no bitterness from this experience, which allowed them to meet their respective spouses.
