At 61, the journalist Jean-Michel Maire seems to have already lived a thousand lives… and a thousand galleys too. This is even the subject of his recent autobiography “Memoirs of a happy looser”, available on Amazon. A collection full of anecdotes little known to the general public about this ex-war reporter who also reveals many funny and crisp stories… like this time when he refused the sum of 700,000 euros to participate in a threesome! Today more serene than ever, Jean-Michel Maire, who revealed himself to spectators through his numerous appearances on the “TPMP” sets on C8, has decided to change his life. At the microphone of Jordan De Luxe, he first confided in his love life: “I am in a relationship, faithful and very in love. It is a story that has been written over ten years. She is the woman I love.”
“We broke up and then got back together…”
Even if, he adds, it has not always been very simple: “It’s been ten years that the story is complicated because, here it is… television is not necessarily an easy medium for the spouse, because there is always a game. In addition, I had the character of a seducer, so she had the impression, almost always wrongly, that I was in love with the guests or the columnists. Which was completely wrong, because I was only thinking about her. So that created friction, which meant that we separated and then got back together…”, specifies the one that Cyril Hanouna liked to publicly spoof about his alleged conquests. So who is his lover? Preferring not to give her first name, Jean-Michel Maire nevertheless admits that the latter resides in the south of France. A region where he has just decided to move in to live with her: “I am very much in love and I will surely join her in the south”, he ends up letting go in the face of a taken aback Jordan. Better: “We are looking at the apartments in Sainte-Maxime”! And to add: “I hope to leave as soon as possible. In a month. In January 2023, or even Christmas 2022. (…) But if someone calls me, I’m there. It’s an hour by plane”, he assures us despite everything so as not to confuse his Parisian friends who have just been warned! And on the job side, how does he plan to organize himself? “I’m not betraying any secrets by saying that I don’t work much anymore. I’m not complaining about it but it’s true (…) I don’t need to be in Paris as much anymore. Already I earn a lot less money”, ends up explaining the one who is almost of retirement age. “I earn 2,000 to 2,500 euros per month, with a rent of 2,000, it’s difficult to play.”, he concludes with lucidity. A winning start for sure…
