With her communicative laughter, her cutting-edge knowledge of medicine and her humor, Marina Carrère d’Encausse has made a name for herself on television in recent years. At the head of Health magazine for more than 20 years and various programs on television and radio, the one who has just celebrated her 60th birthday leads her career with a master’s hand and has been able to gain acceptance little by little.
But if there is one subject she rarely talks about, it’s her private life: daughter of an author who is a member of the Académie Française, the presenter never broaches the subject of her husband or her children. who grow up in its shadow away from the media. But this Thursday, November 17, during an interview in the magazine Galashe wanted to confide in her family, she who feels today “freer than ever“.
Divorced in fact from the one who shared her life for more than twenty years, Francis, a radiologist by profession and father of her three children, the host experiences a new life, that of an assumed bachelor. “It’s new for me because I’ve never lived alone“, she notably confided during the interview. But nothing to scare him: “What the future has in store for me does not worry me at all, on the contrary, I find it quite reassuring because for a long time, I have found that life has more imagination than me.“.
“If I hadn’t met my husband…”
And then the accomplice of Michel Cymès knows perfectly well that Lara, Thibault and Hugo, now aged 27, 30 and 33, still need their mother. Tenderly explaining that they “are still very present in [s]for life“, the one who is a graduate of general medicine confides with humor that they have “often need their mom“… and that makes her very happy, especially since she had recently confided that they did not want to reveal that they were her children in their respective careers.
Need their mom … but not only: in fact, even if they are now separated, Marina Carrère d’Encausse knows that her ex-husband is also present for her children. Moreover, she does not forget during the interview to send him tender words… in all honesty, as always!
“The only calculation I have been able to make in my life is that of having children. It’s very selfish to say that but, if I hadn’t met my husband, I could have done with anyone so much I knew that I had to have it. Fortunately, I came across a man who was an excellent husband and an excellent father, who he still is.“, she reveals with sincerity.
