Already ten years that Valérie Benaïm officiates as columnist of Cyril Hanouna in Do not touch My TV. Over the years spent on the C8 set, the charming 53-year-old brunette has gradually opened up about her private life. This is how viewers learned that she was in a relationship with a certain Patrice, nicknamed Patoche in TPMP. If she sometimes indulges in a few confidences about her loves, she wants to preserve the identity of her dear and tender. However, there is a picture…
It was in September 2015. The couple, usually very discreet, met during an evening event at the Molitor swimming pool, in the chic 16th arrondissement of Paris. The event was organized by Samsung with the aim of presenting its brand new smartphone, the Galaxy S6 Edge+. Invited, Valérie Benaïm came to accompany her dear and tender. Neither one nor two, the duo crackled the flashes of the photographers. On a souvenir snapshot, the beauty appears in jeans and a black sweater, ultra smiling. Very close then stands the famous Patoche, dressed in a khaki jacket, short salt and pepper hair and a glass of champagne in his hand.
This is the only available photo of the couple! And there is no question that the lover of Valérie Benaïm lands one day on the set of Do not touch My TV. “He doesn’t want to, I don’t want to, it’s very good that it’s like that: a somewhat fantasized character. One shot it’s a nerdy old history teacher who smokes a pipe, another it’s a tattooed biker… That’s it and whatever, it’s funny, it doesn’t bother me and we won’t go any further only that. These are my limits“, had declared the columnist in January 2022 at the microphone of RTL, in the program We redo the TV. No Patoche on the air, even if his name is often mentioned. “Cyril is very smart. Because he knows how far he can go with each of the columnists. He knows our limitsshe added. Me, my limit is to talk about my private life, my companion, so he flirts with… Because we suspect that at 50, I have someone in my life.“
Remember that before meeting Patoche, Valérie Benaïm was married to producer Olivier Hallé with whom she had her son tom (21 years old).
