Very present on television, he had however specified in an interview with the magazine Closer than “for nothing in the world [il] would sacrifice moments with [sa famille]“. Father of Lucien, 10 years old and Gabrielle, 8 years old, the journalist is indeed married to Claire Fournier, also a journalist on LCI. Rather discreet on the question, he had however told the first years of their couple in the same interview : “My life is made up of happy coincidences. We met in London when she lived in Tours and I lived in Blois, a few kilometers away! We also both have family in Polynesia, which is not common. Besides, before having our children, we undertook this journey to the end of the world, and I decided to propose to her there.“
Very happy and in love, they share their passion for journalism, despite being on competing channels. And with them, no jealousy or resentment: “She is a columnist and I am very proud of her. I like to say that I am the husband of Claire Fournier rather than saying that she is the wife of Julian Bugier“, had told the journalist.
Rather nature, the one who loves “camping and washing in rivers” during his family vacation has not finished breaking the codes. And that’s why the French appreciate him so much!
