14 years of marriage, two children and a divorce to boot. Laurence Ferrari shared her life with Thomas Hugues for a long time and their couple was a success on the pages of celebrity magazines. But the divisive presenter was not always comfortable with this notoriety.
For years. Laurence Ferrari and Thomas Hugues formed an essential media couple for the PAF. Together, they even had two children, Baptiste and Laeticia, respectively now 31 and 29 years old. But, in 2007, they divorced. Since then, they have each rebuilt their lives. The now ultra divisive CNews presenter has long suffered from the media coverage of her love story.
“It was harder for her to feel people turning around.”
Guest of Jordan de Luxe in 2021, Thomas Hugues spoke about the daily life of their couple, which was scrutinized very closely. “The paparazzi are unbearable! I don’t agree with that (…) But on had two different relationships in the eyes of others”, confided the journalist, now 58 years old and who works on the Public Senate channel.
And the latter clarified his thoughts: “It's funny, maybe I'm getting a little high, but when we went shopping, I was pushing the cart, I didn't realize! And Laurence, it was harder for her to feel people turning around, she had more trouble with that. It's true that it sometimes happened to be with her or other people, and she would say: 'But don't you realize? It's a kind of madness! People turn around and whisper.' But I was beyond it!”
