Julien Doré became the father of a little boy three years ago. But, during his mysterious companion's pregnancy, he was sometimes very surprised…
Julien Doré releases a new album entitled The imposterthis November 8. A disc of covers on which we find in particular the famous children's song, Ah ! les crocodiles. Having become the father of a little boy himself, the 42-year-old singer agreed as rarely to talk about his fatherhood and his son in the podcast Bliss Stories.
Julien Doré faced with the 3D image of his son: “It shocked me”
Julien Doré attended three ultrasounds of his partner during her pregnancy and one of them particularly marked him: the one where he discovered a 3D image of his long-awaited baby. The winner of New Star recounted his shock during the podcast. “Is that my son? Give me a sketch on a post-it, it's better. It shocked me“, he confided frankly.
3D images are often impressive because the baby's face is taken in motion and therefore appears somewhat distorted. “I remember, I was like: 'But no! What is this face!' This is when the future wants to give you too much information. Respect me. Leave me my imagination“, added the one who was in a relationship in the past with actresses Louise Bourgoin and Marina Hands.
Julien Doré, dad a big revelation for him? “It changed everything”
This role of father, which he took on in 2021, marked a turning point in the private life of Julien Doré. And, while he continues to release records and tour, he has adjusted his career to focus on his family life as a priority. “Even while doing concerts, even while having moments where I go up to Paris [il habite dans les Cévennes depuis quelques années après avoir déménagé de la capitale, ndlr] to talk about my music and everything, I stay two days (…) I'm gone 48 to 72 hours. There are immense periods of time when I am there. I have more memories of nursery, of picking him up, now school since September“, he assured in the podcast.
And, like Céline Dion who traveled for a long time with her children for her tours, Julien Doré also had the chance to be accompanied by his son on a few occasions. “I have memories of naps with my son in the room of my tour bus, in a Zénith parking lot in Limoges. We do the rehearsals, where he is on stage (…) Improbable moments, like before a show where he is in the dressing room and he plays around with my musicians“, he said with emotion.
