In a new interview with the magazine Gala from this December 16, 2021, Isabelle Camus finally confirmed his breakup with Yannick Noah. A year ago, the couple broke up after eighteen years together and a son, Joalukas (17). Quite frankly, the 56-year-old ex-producer returned to this difficult decision, but also to her history with the former tennis champion.
When asked why they never decided to get married, Isabelle Camus answers bluntly: “Yannick had married two women before me. Cecilia Rodhe in 1984 [la mère du basketteur Joakim et de Yéléna, NDLR] and Heather Stewart-Whyte in 1995 [la mère de Eleejah et Jenaye]. He had also been divorced twice. So I thought to myself that if I wanted it to last, it was better not to walk past the mayor. Finally, we lived eighteen years together, it’s not bad …“
The daughter of producer Jean-Claude Camus adds that Yannick Noah “was and is the man of his life“. But living in the shadow of such a popular personality, who is moreover very busy, traveling to the four corners of the world all year round, to her limits. It is moreover out of love that she had followed Yannick Noah in New York, when he wanted to be closer to his first children. And it was when their son Joalukas was born that she decided to put his career on hold. “Loving a famous man is hard. Life revolves around him a lot (…). He already had four children when I met him. I partly raised his last two daughters. “
