On the small screen, Mimie Mathy works miracles in the series Josephine, guardian angel. The most angelic actress of the PAF nevertheless also had the right to a little boost of fate in her love life. In 2003, the TF1 star met a cook, Benoist Gérard, one of the spectators of his one-woman show I chat with you, whom she invites on stage and with whom she falls madly in love. A love at first sight that leaves no room for doubt, on one side or the other. Two years later, the lovebirds pass the ring on their finger in front of a host of guests. A moment of happiness shared with all their loved ones after chaotic sentimental years for Mimie Mathy.
The one who will be the guest of the show Come on, I’ll take you broadcast on France 3 this Friday, May 27, had a few galleys before Cupid finally put the man of his life on his way! During one of her visits to Michel Drucker, Mimie Mathy had agreed to reveal the underside of her quest for “princes charming not always charming“: “I always took on complicated situations. That is to say when you throw yourself into the arms of a notorious homosexual. I was convinced that I was going to change it.“
Mimie Mathy also had an affair with a married man whom she thought she would see leave his wife to go a long way with her, in vain: “You meet a married man, it happened to me. You’re convinced he’s going to leave his wife… I was always on top or next to it, but I was never in the right place. Until I meet my Benoist.” If they did not have children together, that did not prevent Mimie Mathy and Benoist from having their own baby, a restaurant!
Business may not have gone as well as expected, but the couple did not rest on their laurels, quite the contrary. Mimie Mathy certainly continues to shoot episodes of one of TF1’s most watched series, but Benoist is not left out. Passionate about wine, he launched into the business, which is not to displease his wife: “When we sold our restaurant in 2008, Benoist became passionate about the vine. We only have two hectares but they produce a quality wine which is found today at the table of many starred restaurants. Benoist works like crazy, I’m very proud of his success.” Unlike wine, their love, they consume it without moderation.
