If his role in “The Voice Kids” is to spot young talents to recruit them into his team, Patrick Fiori also seems to be a hell of a “caster” of beautiful voices to accompany him in life. The singer rose to fame in the late 1990s when he starred in the hit musical “Notre-Dame-de-Paris” as Phoebus. At his side, stood a very young woman with more than promising talent: Julie Zenatti. She was hired in 1997 to play the role of Fleur-de-Lys. And the latter does not leave the dark singer unmoved… far from it! But the romance will wait… because, in the meantime, Patrick Fiori has a love at first sight with… Lara Fabian!
“in love…. crazy”
Interviewed by Gala, he also explained that he had fallen “in love…. crazy” with her when they met in 1998. “When she released her album. I was in my car in Ajaccio and I heard “Everything”. I said to myself: ‘What a voice she has, this girl!’. When I saw her on television, I cracked up. We met later, when I was working in Canada with her producer, Rick, for my album… A real princess. I already loved him!” he confessed. Their loves, under the fire of the news, will not resist more than two years to the overmediatization. Clap of end of their beautiful story in 2000… Lara Fabian will console herself in the arms of Gérard Pullicino with whom she will have her daughter Lou in 2007 then will marry Gabriel di Giorgio in 2013.
“I was working with the person I was living next to.”
And it is quite naturally towards Julie Zenatti that Patrick Fiori, him, will turn. And it was in 2000 that their relationship was formalized… and lasted more than seven years! At the end of it, the singer will confide to the Parisian, in 2007, when she was releasing her album “Pandorre’s box”: “We had been together for seven years. I was working with the person I was living next to. This is the first time that I don’t look myself in the eyes of another when I make a record. Since then, the singer has become the happy mother of two children, Ava in 2011 then Elias, in 2017, fruits of her union with the actor and director Benjamin Bellecour whom she married on February 13, 2016. From her personal life, the singer confided to the “Journal des femmes” in 2020, having drawn a certain philosophy: “Maternity has changed my outlook on life, my relationship to work and family. I understand and respect women who don’t want to have children but my life without children would have been in my opinion… pointless. For his part, Patrick Fiori has found love this time, not with a singer, but with a lyricist! He indeed married Ariane Quatrefages, ex-3e Dauphine of Miss France 2000, in June 2008. And welcomed two boys, born in 2009 and 2014. No false note on the horizon in this incredible artistic and romantic journey.
