These couples of stars that everyone has forgotten
This Saturday, May 3, 2025, Garou was the guest of Isabelle Ithurburu in 50’Inside. The opportunity for the Quebec singer to return to his journey, his incredible ascent thanks to Notre-Dame de Paris (which left him physical consequences)But also on his father’s life. And it is precisely when he evokes his daughter omit that emotion takes over.
At 51, the artist rarely gives himself up. His complicity with Émelie, almost 24 years old, is obvious. They share the same passion for music, an accomplice humor, and an almost fusional father-daughter link. But as in any very close relationship, There are sometimes moments that we would prefer to avoid … that Garou did not hesitate to evoke with open heart.
Garou and her daughter Émelie: a fusional relationship … sometimes too much
“We look likely”he launched, mid-amused, mid-U-undermined, about his daughter. Emelie, like him, is passionate, sensitive … and direct. So direct that she does not hesitate to tell her everything. He admitted it, with a smile:
Sometimes she told me a little too much, There are subjects, I don’t really want the details.
He recognizes that this relationship very open, almost without filter, the “embarrassed” A little sometimes. Not because he does not trust, but because he remains a dad above all! Despite this proximity, there have been more difficult moments, linked to absence. “The only difficulty she gave me – it’s a bit of my fault at the beginning – it’s absence”he said frankly. Like many artists, Garou has often been on tour, far from home. The one who separated from his partner after 11 years of common life does not hide it: this distance could mark their relationship at times.
Garou : “It is she who is no longer there, now …”
Today, the roles have reversed. It is Emelie who is still in a mop. “It is she who is no longer there now (…) She returned the elevator to me“he slipped, with humor. Her daughter is a real globetrotter, still between two countries, two projects. And even if she is missing, Garou understands: she follows her journey, as he did at her age.
But then, how do you manage the distance when you are so close? With a lot of love and intense reunions. “When you find yourself, it’s very, very strong”he confides, visibly moved. No matter the kilometers, the jobs or the silences, their link is solid. Indestructible, even. For Garou, being a father is an adventure in itself. The singer, cold with Céline Dion, said it bluntly: this relationship with Émelie is one of the most important things in her life. She brings him joy, meaning … and sometimes a few surprises not always easy to hear.
A new page with “a better next day”
Garou remains, for many, the eternal quasimodo of Notre-Dame de Paris. This role which has changed everything. “The success of Notre-Dame de Paris was another life (…), I was no longer myself“he explained in 50’Inside. A sudden notoriety that transformed it, but which he finally learned.
-Today, he comes back with A new album entitled A better next dayreleased on April 4. A more intimate, more personal project, carried by a desire for sincerity. And this sincerity, we also find her in her words on her daughter. Lorie Pester’s ex-companion does not play a role.
