They fell in love with each other when they were already a couple, they got married and they had two beautiful children, Abbie (9 years old) and Peter (7 years old). A story worthy of a fairy tale except that Faustine Bollaert and Maxime Chattam are more of the thriller genre, as evidenced by an unpublished photo of their wedding.
Thursday, September 1, 2022, the couple celebrates their 10th wedding anniversary, being a pewter wedding. On this occasion, the beautiful 43-year-old host published a photo of this union in an Instagram story (see the slideshow). Divine in a white dress that left her shoulders bare, the one who presents It starts today (France 2) kisses her chic husband. A moment immortalized in black and white. In the background, there is no sunset, fine sandy beach or castle, but… a cemetery!
Indeed, as she had already revealed a few years ago, Maxime Chattam and she took photos of their union in the midst of the dead. She had also shown that the statuette of the newlyweds which usually surmounts the wedding cakes was represented by skeletons. Of course, the wedding was celebrated in a more traditional way, in a church, and we suspect that the guests dined elsewhere than on tombstones. But with a husband author of In Tenebris, evil soul or The Promise of Darknesswe could imagine that it would not be a wedding made only of roses.
I have real skulls that should have ended up in mass graves
Moreover, as the author had already confided, his office is a bit special. You can find a scary doll, a mummy face and… skulls. “I collect everything that reminds us of mortality and confronts us with the fragility of life. I have real skulls that should have ended up in mass graves. They are here, with me, I talk to them – they all have a name – I ask them questions, it takes me back to my adolescence, when I discovered the Hamlet by Shakespeare“, he confided to Paris Match. A decoration which in no way taints the love of Faustine Bollaert and which does not seem to disturb their children.
Everything went very quickly between Faustine Bollaert and Maxime Chattam. Only three months after their love at first sight on the radio, he proposed to his lover in marriage. “I did not expect that. It caught me off guard and forced me to trust and follow my emotions“, had recognized the host during an interview for TV 7 days. The rest, we know it, it’s mad love for ten years!
