In 1995, Véronique Sanson said “yes” to Pierre Palmade. Unlike the majority of brides who want a white dress for the most beautiful day of their life, the singer had arrived at the church with an amazing puffy pink satin dress embroidered with pastel flowers. A veil of the same tone and decorated with sequins was placed on her hairstyle, a high bun. For his part, the groom wore a very sober black suit with a white shirt.
Divorced since 2004, the couple has always kept a very close bond despite their separation. “We are very, very close, we protect each other, we still love each other – platonically of course -, we have a good laugh, really“, confided the singer in April 2019 on France 3, about her ex-husband of 20 years her junior. “We don’t call each other that often, but when we call each other, we stay for hours, and we laugh! And then we talk about really serious stuff, and then sometimes he yells at me, and sometimes I yell at you“, she added to her ex-husband with tenderness. “The more time passes, the more I tell myself that it was not by chance“, concluded with affection the humorist.
Interviewed on the set of It’s up to you facing Anne-Elizabeth Lemoine in 2019, the actor, who subsequently came out, had revealed the secrets of this union, which he knew was ephemeral but which he never regretted. “It was really a year where I did not want in my eyes, not in the eyes of society since it knew, to be homo. Do you realize the weight of education, the weight of society? I believe that marriage… We shouldn’t have, we should have remained lovers and accomplices as we have been. It’s gone too far“, he confided. “My body prefers men over women. I struggled with it but, that’s it, I’m at peace“, he concluded with more serenity.
Subsequently, Véronique Sanson and Pierre Palmade never remarried. The singer was first married to Stephen Stills in 1973, with whom she had a child, Christopher. She was also in a relationship with actor François-Eric Gendron and Étienne Chicot. For his part, Pierre Palmade has since remained very discreet about his love life.
