If everything seems to be going like a dream in the life of Camille Lacourt at the moment, this has not always been the case. Revealed to the general public at the end of the 2010s, the 2-meter giant quickly rose to fame and success. He is in a relationship with the former Miss France 2008 Valerie Begue in 2010 and the two lovebirds married in August 2013. A beautiful relationship that will unfortunately end in October 2016 after six years together. In the meantime, the couple had a little girl, Jazz, born in October 2012, still very close to her dad.
If today the 35-year-old former athlete has found love with another Miss, Alice Detollenaere, with whom he has just had a little Marius, born last June, he remains marked by his break with Valérie Stutterer. During an interview with Kool Mag, the former swimmer returned to this very complicated period for him. “There was a month when I think I touched depression. My friends were coming… I was drinking beer after beer for three or four days. I really needed to drink beers to sleep at night, not to talk”he reveals.
My friends were waiting for it to pass… And then I said to myself that I had to stop
A courageous and unfiltered testimony for those who managed to bounce back fairly quickly after this depressive episode. “My friends were waiting for it to pass… And then I said to myself that I had to stop. Otherwise we won’t get out of it! I said to myself: ‘You are lucky to have the sport to get out of it, take it!‘”he recalls.
