With age, Benjamin Castaldi has made a drastic change within his family. The television and radio host spoke on November 8, 2024 to our colleagues at Here.
And he explained that he had excellent relationships with his dad, Jean-Pierre, in particular. But the most important thing for him today is his youngest, Gabriel, who gives him a second chance to do things right.

To our colleagues, he explains: “I rediscovered fatherhood late in life. It's both moving and guilt-inducing, because I wasn't as present with his brothers.”. His eldest children are 3: Julien (born September 18, 1996), Simon (born April 20, 2000), and Enzo (born February 8, 2004).
And to add: “To because of work and because I separated from their mothers when they were little.”
For this little boy, born from his marriage to Aurore Aleman, Benjamin Castaldi has become another man. He says: “Gabriel, I take him to the swimming pool, we share daily life, last night, he wanted to have a three-way cuddle in our bed with Aurore… It's important, these moments. Even if I didn’t experience that with my father either.”
And so that these sweet moments last as long as possible, Benjamin Castaldi even gets physically involved. “No choice”he even says, than to calm down, finally.
He transformed his life, so as not to die
At 54, he confides: “I tell myself that I don't have the right to die before the age of 30 of my youngestr”. In fact, he does “boxing and treadmill five to six days a week”, il “eat balanced”. In short, Benji a “stopped the excesses” and leads a “monastic life“.
At the head of the Europe 2 morning showsince last school year, the star “leaves dinners at 9 p.m. to go to bed“. And in the morning, whatever happens, he is up at 3:13 a.m., regulated like clockwork.
And he wouldn't do things any other way. Regarding his waking up too early, he believes: “It seems that it's spirit time. So I listen to Les Informés, on France Info and it's already time to get up to go host my morning show“.
