“I wonder why I didn’t leave sooner”dropped Jean-Michel Maire in Do not touch My TV on C8at the beginning of January 2023. The Parisian climate but also love pushed the former reporter from Figaro left the capital to join Ste-Maxime. But that’s not all ! “Between the works, the garbage cans and the rats… At one point I said, I have to leave”.
Installed with his darling in the south of France, the columnist goes back to work and find his comrades. Saturday April 15, 2023, he was on the set of TPMP People with Matthieu Delormeau, Benoît Dubois and Isabelle Morini-Bosc. The opportunity to talk more about his completely different lifestyle. “I am in the sun, I am surrounded by sheep. I have 8,000 sheep around me”.
“Have you become a shepherd?”, asked the animator curious to know why the latter made this change. “I live in a sheepfold […] I moved to the mountains. I am with the sheepdogs”, he said before adding: “I wanted to take a little height”.
When Laurent Fontaine asked him if his sidekick was still living with his girlfriend, Jean-Michel Maire pretended not to hear his questioning and continued his story. “Well, we won’t say everything”continued Matthieu Delormeau who preferred to focus on the positive side of the sexagenarian.

Change of life, for love
“I am in a relationship, faithful and very in love”said Jean-Michel Maire to Jordan de Luxe in December 2022. Faced with the journalist, he had spoken of the one who makes his heart beat. “It’s a story that was written over ten years. She’s the woman I love.”
A relationship far from easy because of television. “The story is complicated because, here… television is not necessarily an easy environment for the spouse, because there is always a game. In addition, I had a character of a seducer, so she had the impression, almost always wrongly, that I was in love with the guests or the columnists. Which was completely false, because I was only thinking of her. So that created friction, which we broke up and then got back together…”
But is this story still relevant? To be continued…
