Alizée confided in the subject during her appearance on the show Kindergartensin 2015, on France 5. “I felt like it was a failure. When I was little, I wanted to start a family before becoming a singer. My parents also not being divorced, I had the impression of having missed what they had succeeded in“, she regretted. Then, she revealed how she broke the news to her daughter Annily: “It was hard, but children feel things. I start from the principle that whatever the age of the child, you have to tell the truth and explain things to them like adults.

As a result, we have ‘grown’ at the same time and over the years, I felt more like living with my twin brother than with a husband. To preserve our daughter, we still tried to save our couple and our separation shook me a lot. For a long time, I refused to meet anyone so as not to subject my daughter to the same thing again.“
