For thirty years, Patrick Sébastien flourished with Nathalie Boutot, his wife whom he married in 1998 and with whom he adopted their daughter Lily, in 2007. But, to everyone’s surprise, the couple separated last January. A news that the host himself formalized in September, in the pages of the magazine Gala. “For years, we had different lives. She wanted to have more freedom. It doesn’t change much, except that we don’t live together anymore“, he announced.
If the one we nicknamed Nana wanted more freedom, Patrick Sébastien was not deprived of it throughout their love story. “I was unfaithful, but I told her from the start. Like all the women I’ve lived with. None were forced to accept, so there is no betrayal, things were clear from the start“, he revealed.
Monday, October 17, Patrick Sébastien returned to this separation during an interview for the show At Jordan’s. The opportunity to underline the fact that Nathalie did not have it “not dropped“and that this decision was a matter of mutual agreement. It was also together that they chose to remain married.”We have known each other for thirty years. She is still my wife, we have not divorced and we will not divorce. We are separated“, he said. And to add that they were always on very good terms. They even continue to collaborate together. Simply, they lead a “sentimental life discarded“.
It is therefore quite natural that Patrick Sébastien now takes full advantage of his status as a single found. “Me, I have no one, I have plenty of passers-by“, he confessed to Jordan Deluxe. A lifestyle that has always characterized him. “I’ve always had lots of girlfriends […] out for a hug. I have a conception of love that is very particular: you have to accept that the other is happy outside of you..”
This speech, he already held it on the set of Do not touch My TV a few weeks ago. “There’s one thing that bothers me about traditional love, it’s possessiveness. I feel that I belong to nobody and that nobody belongs to me“he said.
