They loved each other but never slept together. It was at the age of 74, on April 16, 2020, that Christophe left us and plunged his family, his fans, and loves into deep sadness, following a pulmonary emphysema. But even several years after his disappearance, some secrets of the artist are still unknown. This is why those who had the chance to meet him during his lifetime do not hesitate to make revelations, sometimes very surprising, about him.
Bénédicte La Capria was the last to share Christophe’s life before he left this world. The 50-year-old, 24 years her junior, had met him in 2018 at a concert before never leaving him again before illness separated them. In the columns of Paris Matchthe last love of the artist indulged in a few confidences about his relationship with him. “Christophe was older than me, a little older evenshe begins before evoking a “pact” that they had established: “I didn’t want to make love with him. It became a pact between us: I would be there for him, as long as we didn’t sleep together”.
“Nine women at the same time”
A pact that the interpreter of Blue Words seems to have honored until the end, as surprising as that may seem. Surprising, because according to the rest of the story of Bénédicte La Capria, sexual activity had an important place, even too much, in the life of the singer. “He was a real sex maniac, it’s true”she swings openly before confiding: “He was not comfortable with the #MeToo movement, it’s also true. But a woman will never blame him for anything”.
The 50-year-old went on to give details about Christophe’s personality in terms of seduction: “He was an old-fashioned seducer, a smooth talker, a pleasure seeker, certainly not someone who abused women”. Although this does not detract from his respectful side and seductive poet, he would still have had “up to 9 women at the same time”…
