Nathalie Marquay’s world collapsed on March 2, 2022. That day, she lost the love of her life. Jean-Pierre Pernaut died at the age of 71 and since then his now widowed wife has been trying to move on without her other half. But the former presenter of the 13H news from TF1 is never far away.
“Like anyone who has lost a loved one”Nathalie Marquay is doing everything to get back on track despite her immense grief. Regularly, Miss France 1987 goes to meditate on the grave of her late husband because, contrary to what many people thought, it is not near Amiens (birthplace of Jean-Pierre Pernaut) that he rests but in Louveciennes (in the Yvelines), where their house is located. “I’m lucky to go to the cemetery almost every day, because he was buried near the house and not in Amiens as everyone thinks“, she revealed to our colleagues from Gala.
This choice, the mother of Lou and Tom Pernaut (19 and 18 years old) did not do it alone. As she explained to our colleagues, Nathalie Marquay had the opportunity to have a discussion on the subject with Jean-Pierre Pernaut, long before he had his health concerns. “Twenty years ago, when we bought this house, located not far from a retirement home and a cemetery, we laughed a lot with Jean-Pierre. I told him jokingly: ‘As you are seventeen years older than me, I will put you in a retirement home when you are in a wheelchair. And when you’re gone, I could visit you every day at the cemetery here.’ (…) More recently, we thought it would be easier for the children, for me, to choose Louveciennes, near our house. To go see it as many times as we wanted. There was only one place left. Jean-Pierre got it“, continued the beautiful brunette of 55 years.
Signs by Jean-Pierre Pernaut
Nathalie Marquay also once again confided that since his death, Jean-Pierre Pernaut sent him many signs. Like the same bird that sings when she meditates. But it is especially in their house that she perceives the most. “I need to find myself, to talk to him, to ask him for signs“, she clarified.
Remember that many fans of Jean-Pierre Pernaut, wishing to pay tribute to him, went to the cemetery of Bouvaincourt-sur-Bresle, a town in Hauts-de-France, convinced that the presenter was buried there. Let’s hope for Nathalie Marquay and her other relatives that such situations will not happen again now that new details have been provided.
