It was on May 10 that Iris Mittenaere announced the sad news. While rumors have been circulating for several months, Miss Universe 2016 has confirmed his separation from Diego El Glaoui. After four years of love, the two engaged decided to “take different paths“.”Life has taken us apart but we will always keep within us all these beautiful adventures that we have experienced and shared“, she assured. And added: “Even if our paths separate today, we will always support each other and we will be there for each other at every stage of our lives.“
Rather discreet about the reasons for this breakup, Iris Mittenaere still agreed to speak to Louise Aubery in a video posted on her YouTube account this Wednesday, May 22. “Already, I have had too long need to live through a couple“, she confides. And explains: “I look for my worth in someone’s eyes, all the time.“So, obviously, at the time of the breakup, it makes the situation even more complex and painful.”I was that type of girl who saw less of her friends and so, when you break up, you have feel like your world is falling apart“, she laments.
Iris Mittenaere confides in her “greatest fear“
If it’s “very difficult“not to stay in the ease and comfort of this couple, Iris Mittenaere still had the courage to leave this relationship which no longer suited her.”Sometimes you have to be your own priority“, she recalls. This is why she preferred to put her baby project on hold. “My biggest fear is being alone and without children“, she reveals. But she first wants to feel good about herself and her relationship before embarking on such an upheaval. “Come on already, we try to be good to ourselves and the rest will happen later“, she says.
Sometimes it’s easier said than done. She who has “so always wanted to be a mom“admits to having put a lot of pressure on himself regarding this desire for motherhood and the famous biological clock that is ticking.”I separated at 31 so I feel it like hell. And you see, even I put this time pressure on myself“, she regrets. A pressure that comes from society. “We grow up like that. We grow up planning things, saying to ourselves ‘I’m going to get married, then I’m going to have my children’“, she notes.
This moment when Iris Mittenaere realized that Diego El Glaoui was “not the right person“
In these conditions, the failure of her romance with Diego El Glaoui when they were on the verge of tying the knot is akin to “bereavement“.”Beyond the separation, you mourn the life that you had planned for yourself and almost a little you mourning the imaginary children you had with this person. Because we were at that stage. And frankly, it’s painful“, explains the former Miss France. But it is clear that she could no longer continue like this with Diego El Glaoui.
“Is this the life I want? Do I want to feel bad at times? Every day for the next 50 years?“, asked Iris Mittenaere. “And the answer was no. I want to feel good“, she retorts. And concludes: “When you realize that ultimately it’s not not the right personit is better to stop and not to continue and go too far in this denial because afterwards, there are consequences which are more complicated.”
