Pierre Palmade and Véronique Sanson were married for almost ten years, from 1995 to 2004, a union that had surprised more than one but which was built on real feelings. Friday October 28, 2022, Pierre Palmade returned to this period of his love life in The secret boxbroadcast on France 3 and presented by Faustine Bollaert.
The 54-year-old comedian and actor discovered a pair of ivory silk gloves and a veil in his secret box. What make him immediately think of his real marriage with Véronique Sanson, as opposed to the fake he had celebrated with his sidekick Michèle Laroque. But unlike the gloves present in the box, Véronique Sanson had not done in the classic on their wedding day since the singer had chosen to wear pink.
I felt less alone with her than with another man
Faustine Bollaert wanted to know a little more about the nature of the love that united Véronique Sanson and Pierre Palmade for several years. “It was a real thunderbolt. Of course I was gay but I was bored, I didn’t meet any man who interested me. And while being gay, I met this exciting woman and I felt less alone with her than with another man.“, explained Pierre Palmade in all transparency, showing himself touching alongside Hugues Aufray and Chantal Ladesou, also invited to indulge. “I said to myself no, all homo that I am, I want a love story with her, next to her, I was less alone“, added the comedian who notably received a surprise performance from his friend Marc Lavoine on Véronique Sanson’s unforgettable tube, A night on his shoulder.
Knowing perfectly the man she married and his preferences, Véronique Sanson “accepted everything“.”To be in love is to no longer be alone and in that I was in love for a few years“, continued Pierre Palmade who remained on very good terms with Véronique Sanson after their divorce. The singer had however experienced their divorce as a terrible failure and had devastated her … An excellent relationship which is positioned today between friendship and love of which he has spoken many times in the past, just like Véronique Sanson.
“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“, declared Véronique Sanson on France 3 in 2019, while she was visiting with her ex-husband. A story that is certainly singular but which ended in the best way possible.
