If his name is little known to the general public, his work is much more so. Jean-Luc Moreau is a famous French director, who has collaborated with several big names, such as Laurent Ruquier, Michel Leeb and Véronique Jannot.
And if this 79-year-old man is also known, it is because in addition to his brilliant career, he has a busy private life. In fact, he is the father of ten children, two of whom died several years ago. They were born from his previous unions, notably with Mathilde Penin, with whom he stayed for more than twenty years. But this is not the only detail of his private life that is surprising.
For four years, Jean-Luc Moreau has been in a relationship with a young woman… 45 years his junior. Her name ? Elijah Addams. This young woman aged 34 is an actress. Together, they share their common passion for the stage.
Tender glances and stolen kisses
Moreover, this Tuesday June 18, 2024, they attended the play Menopause, co-written and directed by Alex Goude. This humorous show, which aims to shake up the rules and break the many taboos on the subject, is performed by four actresses: Dominique Magloire, Patricia Samuel, Marianne Viguès and Marion Posta.
For Jean-Luc Moreau and Elie Addams, this theatrical performance was an opportunity to proudly display their love. In front of the photographers, the couple indulged in several gestures of tenderness, including a long loving kiss.
Jean-Luc Moreau proudly assumes his love
Since he formalized his relationship with his young partner four years ago, the director has come under numerous criticisms. But that doesn’t impact his morale, quite the contrary.
Guest on the show At Jordan’s broadcast on C8 last Friday June 7, Jean-Luc Moreau did not mince his words concerning the controversy over his 45-year age difference : “I do not care. I don’t care so much. I walk with her in the street, I take her by the waist and if someone says to me ‘How is your daughter?’ well… It definitely happens!“
Moreover, it could well be that the couple will soon reach the wedding stage, as he confided to the journalist: “It’s happening (…) Why not? You have to make the request, you have to have witnesses, people who accept.” Proof that love has no age!
