It’s no longer a secret: in his high school years, the new Prime Minister Gabriel Attal shared a teenage crush with the singer Joyce Jonathan. Before discovering his homosexuality, the young man he was at the time fell in love with his classmate, but without this story of youthful love leading to a real serious story. Questioned a few years ago on the subject, Joyce Jonathan explained that it is “of a childhood love, of a recreational love affair, absolutely very wise”. Many years later, Joyce Jonathan frequented two other political figures, since she became the daughter-in-law of François Hollande and Ségolène Royal, being the companion of Thomas Hollande from 2012 to 2014.
Guest of What an era this Saturday January 27, 2024 to promote his new single If I eat I go to hellin which she evokes for the first time her descent into hell, when she suffered from severe eating disorders for ten years, alternating between phases of bulimia and phases of anorexia, Joyce Jonathan was inevitably asked about the political promotion her ex-boyfriend received, who recently became Prime Minister. And while the youngest Prime Minister of the Fifth Republic finds himself confronted with his first crisis, that of the #AngryFarmers, Joyce Jonathan is full of praise for her.
They continue to communicate by SMS
“It was a college crush. We didn’t tickle each other, and it’s not that together we’ll have a long life expectancy” laughed the one who was revealed more than ten ago by Michael Goldman, via his label My Major Company. Embarrassed by the insistent questions of Christophe Dechavanne and Faustine Bollaert, Joyce Jonathan quickly dodged the subject of their love story, and insisted on returning to the career of Gabriel Attal, whom she applauded: “I am very, very proud of him. I find that he is exemplary, that he gives a lot for young people, that he expresses himself very, very well.” Joyce Jonathan revealed that she was still in contact with her ex-boyfriend, and congratulated him by SMS when she learned of his nomination to Matignon. From boyfriend to friend, sometimes there’s only one step!
