It’s a big step in life and even more so when it’s a first. LJournalist Gérard Holtz is preparing to become a grandfather for the first time. Indeed, the famous sports journalist will be able to take on this role in the coming weeks since his son Julien and his partner announced this Monday, April 1, to wait for the happy event through their social networks. And the mother probably tells you something if you are a fan of Télématin on France 2 since it is Julie Poirier
one of the show’s columnists. Moreover, it was through her Instagram account that the future mother announced the news by posting a photo of her rounded belly, the dog placing its paw on her future offspring. A photo accompanied by the message: “Today, life wins“. For his part, Julien Holtz
also wanted to shout the happy news to the whole world by publishing another photo of his partner and adding in the caption: “Vintage 2024“.

The couple, more in love than ever, has been having the perfect love for almost 10 years. It was in 2015 that they chose to say yes to life in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains in Haute-Savoie after meeting behind the scenes of France 3 Picardie while she was co-hosting the regional morning show and he was a digital consultant. At the time, Julie Poirier had no idea about the identity of her stepfather and, as proof, as she confided to our colleagues at Télé Loisirs in 2022: “I didn’t realize he was Gérard Holtz’s son until I met his father“. A funny situation to say the least.
A great first for Gérard Holtz
A well-known face to France Télévisions viewers, Gérard Holtz is the happy father of two boys: Julien and Antoine, who became an actor. Both were born from his first union with his partner Marie-Françoise Buart from whom he separated in 2006. Since then, Gérard Holz has been the happiest of men. In 2013, the journalist said yes to his partner Muriel, 17 years his junior. His only regret? “Not having had four children” he confided to our colleagues at Gala. “I would have loved to have two daughters. I’m looking forward to the grandchildren“. That’s it… and, who knows, maybe it will be a girl…
