He leads a peaceful life in the arms of his Luana. Serge Lama married his sweetheart, 35 years younger, on February 11, 2021 at the town hall of the 7th arrondissement of Paris. It was Rachida Dati, the mayor of the district, who celebrated the wedding. And yet, when they met, these two would never have imagined, even for a second, walking past the altar. For good reason: the famous artist was always united with Michèle, whose life he shared for many, many years.
We were separated while remaining very close
It is together that Serge Lama and Luana Santonino wrote the book My life, my most beautiful songs illustrated by my favorite painters, published on October 13 by Beaux Arts Editions. Together, always, that he ensures the promotion of the work and that they evoke the beginnings of their meeting. This kind of unambiguous love triangle that they formed with Michele until death divided their paths. “We were separated while remaining very close, explains the artist in the columns of the magazine Gala. We did not live together with Michele, we never did. So our story could settle down without Luana being embarrassed or shocked.“
I didn’t want to break their relationship
Serge Lama met Luana during a concert in 2002 and fell victim to love at first sight. They moved in together in 2006. Ten years later, Michèle died of a stroke. A drama, of course, but an open door for her ex, who wanted to remarry. “I didn’t want to break their relationship, recalls his young companion of 44 years – he has 78. It was very important for Serge that Michèle remains Madame Lama. We got along very well by the way. Our relationship was atypical, but in good understanding and respect..“
