A year that he will unfortunately not forget, but probably not for the right reasons… Indeed, Stéphane Bern is experiencing a somewhat complicated year in 2022 with the disappearance of his father, which occurred in February. A very important man for him especially since his relationship with his mother was not at all the same as with the father figure. Guest in the magazine 7 to 8 at the beginning of the year, the television presenter indeed revealed to have known a difficult childhood and to be a child beaten by his mother.
“Yes, my mother had been brought up by a Prussian father. I can tell you that it had to be perfection. My mother was a translator and interpreter, she spoke perfect English, German, Russian and Italian So, you can imagine, when I was repeating my English or German lessons, I took the full face of it”he first revealed before admitting to having suffered violence: “I was not a child martyr. I was beaten, when it was necessary. At the time, corporal punishment existed. And I have not known a day without taking a slap, I admit it “.
Armand, his beloved brother
A difficult past that Stéphane Bern has very often hidden and of which his fans are perhaps unaware of the existence. As for the other members of his family, they are well and truly aware and have undoubtedly supported him during this period, like his brother Armand Bern, very close to the specialist in crowned heads. Unfortunately, this Tuesday, August 9, the one who bewitches us when he presents Secrets of history announced terrible news to its subscribers on Instagram.
His brother Armand has just left us. Stéphane Bern, inconsolable and devastated, obviously wanted to pay him a vibrant tribute in a long text published on Instagram. “Armand, my dear brother, We swore that we would remain united for life and death separated us on August 6. You left too soon, a month before your 60th birthday, after having fought courageously against the melanoma which ended up prevailing”he said in particular before continuing: “Chaste and modest, humble and silent, but terribly sensitive, you did not like outpourings and let me take the light to better stay in the shadows […] You leave a huge void in the hearts of those who love you, your loving and devoted wife Jocelyne, your three wonderful children, your two grandsons and a third unborn grandchild. I swear to you to be faithful to your memory, to be another father for them. The only death is oblivion. I will honor and love you until my own death.”
