“The most erotic thing in the world”, the singer reveals his secret to longevity with Mélanie Thierry

Ready to hit the festival road this summer, Raphael previously appeared on the show A Sunday in the countryside where he presented his latest album Another life, published in March. The artist, now 48 years old, took the opportunity to evoke childhood memories, having just welcomed a third child with his partner. Melanie Thierry whose life he has shared since 2002. After having mentioned his love at first sight for music and in particular the piano when he was only “six or seven years”Raphaël mentioned a depression that struck him at the end of his teenage yearse.

Facing the camera France 2 and to the host Frédéric Lopez, in the show broadcast on June 16, the interpreter of Caravan admitted that he had not wanted “see doctor” at the time. “But I self-diagnosed and it really looked like depression.. I saw the walls tightening around me. It lasted six months, it really looked like that”he clarified, before explaining that there was “many people with manic depression are diagnosed very heavily” in his surroundings. “There is the uncertainty of adolescence. These are very complicated moments. What are we going to do with our lives? We know that these are pivotal moments. There is a great dizziness of this time that I can understand”he concluded on the subject.

Raphaël has true admiration for his wife

In complete transparency, the singer then spoke about his relationship with the mother of his first two sons Novel And Alyoshanow teenagers themselves. “I think that’we admire each other a lot“he first declared, before complimenting without limit the one he still seems to love so much despite the weight of the years. “I have a lot of admiration for her. I love her choices, I love her work”he said about the one who received the prize for Most Promising Actress at the César in 2010, for her role in the film The last one for the road by Philippe Godeau.

For Raphaël, it is important to laugh in a relationship, it is even fundamental. And this is why his romance with Mélanie Thierry resists. “We laugh every day. We have the same sense of humor, saying the same stupid things at the same time. Once again, the place of laughter, it’s the most erotic thing in the world“he assured in A Sunday in the countrysideinsisting that it was the samee “the most delicious thing in the world”. “In any case, I never get bored”he was kind enough to let us know alongside Christophe André and Élodie Poux who were also guests of Frédéric Lopez.

Raphaël discreet dad for his three children

Without expanding much either, the artist spoke of his role as a father and his deepest wish to preserve the anonymity of your children, which never appear during his public outings or in any photo he posts on social networks. He had already echoed this in March, during an interview given to Leisure TV. “They play music. The youngest a lot, the eldest a little less. He learned to read a score, he knows how to play the piano. But it interests him less. I don’t know what they will do anymore late. And it’s difficult to decide early what you’re going to do in life. They have to find their way.”he declared at that time.

This discourse is very far from that which other artists such as Julien Doré Or Jérémy Frérot. Both recently posted images of their respective sons on Instagram to tease their comeback on stage in 2025. Nolwenn Leroy also spoke on the subject a few days ago, giving a completely different speech…
