To marry one’s sister or brother would be incestuous. And this even if we are part of Gilbert Montagné’s family. However, it is indeed in this situation that the interpreter of “Under the sunlights of the tropics” had to face. However, no incest in this story. Since his son simply fell in love with the daughter of Nikole, a woman with whom the singer married in 1999 and who was already a mother before meeting the new man in her life.
The one who recently revealed that his glasses were actually useless to him had a love affair with Maureen Byrne. From this love were born two boys, Nicolas and Éric. But the arrival of the children did not allow the flame to continue and the lovebirds divorced a few years later. Gilbert Montagné then falls in love with his collaborator Nikole to whom he will say “yes” in 1999. A woman who still fulfills him today but who also had a previous affair with another man and three children: Julien, Cecile and Maya.
Nicolas and Cécile in love, Gilbert Montagné happy
Cécile and Éric will fall in love from their first meeting, as Gilbert Montagné remembered in 2010 with our colleagues from Gala. “When I found out they loved each other, I told them, ‘Do whatever you want, but be happy.’ They listened to me, he confided at the time. And there is nothing toxic or abnormal about this relationship, quite the contrary. Eric being the son of the artist, and Cécile, that of Nikole, the two lovers actually have no direct family ties in common. Although it might look strange on paper when you don’t know everyone’s family tree.
The icing on the cake, Gilbert Montagné will become a grandfather thanks to this love. His son and daughter-in-law giving him two children, Mia and Ava, who will allow him to take on a new role for the rest of his life. Arrivals that have totally changed the singer who is celebrating his 71st birthday on Wednesday, December 28: “Becoming a grandfather was a great revelation. Now I want to pass on…”
