Dad of Édie (born in 1993 from a first love) but also of Billy born June 16, 2011 and Alfred born August 8, 2012 (fruits of his love affair with Julie Depardieu whom he met on the set of the film I'm a no man's land in 2010), Philippe Katerine confided about his eleventh album Zouzou released since November 8, 2024. Named after his dog, this album is made up of a myriad of “little things“of his daily life with his family, of”routine“and”habits“of his life that he finds”very poetic“. He also signed the title Fatherin tribute to his children. The singer – who stood out during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games – revealed that he is a worried dad, particularly regarding the future of his children and the ultra-connected society in which they are growing up. .
“We have difficulty finding our place as parents. Where do we want to be? Watched too much or not enough. In any case, education is the greatest adventure one can experience (…) I repaint everything black, to warn them. So, it's true that some mornings, I say to myself: but I take so much of my anxieties on them. It’s a balance to find which is still very delicate..“, he confided before mentioning his partner Julie who, fortunately, tempers his daddy anxieties. “There is the mother (Julie Depardieu), who has a different story, who does not behave at all in the same way, fortunately for me. It is a balance that is struck“, he added.
Zouzou is more of a symbol of family

If the album was called Zouzouthis full member of the Depardieu-Katerine family, this is no coincidence since according to him, their dog is the ultimate symbol of their tribe. “Zouzou is more of a symbol of family, basically. She is always surrounded by a child. Hands pass, confidences… Reassure yourself around Zouzou. That's what a dog is, in a family, it's a moving being.”revealed the singer. Zouzou is also the star of the album cover and poses in different positions alongside his very proud dad.
The images from the photo shoot for the album also highlight the great flexibility (and even agility) of Zouzou and his very star side!
