It’s been a very difficult start to the year for the family… Three years after successfully battling his prostate cancer, the former star of 13H from TF1 was again struck by cancer, of the lung this times. While he was undergoing radiotherapy sessions in the hope of eradicating the disease, a new health glitch was fatal to him. After open-heart surgery, Jean-Pierre Pernaut was placed in a deep coma at the end of February. Eventually, he died on March 2, 2022 at the age of 71. Two weeks after the disappearance of this lover of the regions, his now widowed wife Nathalie Marquay must face a hell of a blow…
She showed herself worthy during the funeral on March 9, 2022 at the Sainte-Clotilde basilica, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. Before the hearse left, she placed a gentle kiss on her late husband’s coffin. Since then, she has been trying to mourn… This Thursday, March 17, 2022 is a day that is all the more painful than the others: it is about the birthday of Nathalie Marquay, who is celebrating her 55th birthday. The first that she celebrates alone, without Jean-Pierre Pernaut to whom she had been married for 15 years. But she can count on the support of their daughter Lou. In story on Instagram, the 19-year-old brunette shares a tender photo of her baby in the arms of her dear mother. “Happy birthday to the most amazing woman. I admire your strength and courage. I love you mom“, she writes.
Words that have undoubtedly warmed the heart of Nathalie Marquay. This beautiful declaration is also her way of keeping this promise made to her father shortly before his death. “Your smile will never cease to shine in my heart and your laughter to vibrate in the stars. I know you’ll take care of me from up there, and I promised you that I’ll take care of mom the long way you’ll be gone.. Thank you dad for being my brave life example. I hope one day I will make you proud as much as I am proud to be your daughter. I love you“, said Lou Pernaut at the church during the funeral of her late dad. She thus undertook to stay close to her mother Nathalie Marquay, now alone in the large family home… Let us remember that Lou recently moved to Paris, “literally 20 minutes from home [ses] parents“while Tom is in business school in Lille.
