Married since 2008, Patrick Fiori (real name Patrick Chouchayan) and Ariane Quatrefages met for the first time on the set of the Miss France election in December 1999. Came to join the jury but also to interpret the title Beautiful of the comedy Notre Dame de Paris in which he played the valiant Phoebus, the then 30-year-old singer had seen and noticed without knowing it the one who was soon to become the woman of his life.
Elected third runner-up to Sonia Rolland at just 22 years old, Ariane Quatrefages, who represented the Rhône-Alpes region, had caught the attention of Geneviève de Fontenay and Jean-Pierre Foucault with her elegance and her big black eyes. “I was invited as a juror in the Miss France. In these beauties, I’m lucky to have one with me“, had subsequently entrusted the interpreter of the title Corsican on the set of the show Amandaon France 2.
Following this unforgettable evening, Ariane decided to take her destiny into her own hands and enrolled in Cours Florent in Paris. Spotted by a producer, she then obtained a role in the comedy Notre Dame de Paris. She finds Patrick Fiori behind the scenes of the show and falls in love with him. This is where they really begin their love story.
“When a woman chooses you, she already knows where she wants to take you. She came to pick me up when I was starting to want to settle down. After the Notre-Dame madness, I became easier prey. We found each other when we wanted to build something“, declared the singer in 2019 in the magazine We both.
Together for more than twenty years, the lovers have always remained very discreet about their romance (the singer had revealed that he greatly regretted the media coverage of his previous relationships with Lara Fabian and Julie Zenatti). They married in 2008 and gave birth to two boys: Sevan, born in 2009, and the youngest, whose name is still kept secret, born in 2014. Muse of her husband, the young woman from Lyon regularly collaborates on his albums and now presents himself as “Island Artists Manager” according to a recent interview with the magazine Female Version in September 2022.
