“Nathalie and I love each other very much, but we have decided to go our separate ways now, even if we remain close,” the actor confided to Isabelle Maréchal in an interview on QUB radio at 99.5 FM Montreal.

The 56-year-old actor has bought a new house, but is keen to stay close to his family.

“We’re going to remain a family, but we’re no longer a loving couple, that’s all,” he explains.

“We do it in a very healthy way, very open with the girls,” he emphasizes.

From actor to forest firefighter

Patrice Godin has undertaken a professional change by becoming a forest firefighter for the Society for the Protection of Forests Against Fire (SOPFEU) since the summer of 2023.

“I had the impression of stagnating in my professional life and I was missing something that really didn’t fulfill me,” explains the man who wrote several novels, including “After the Storms,” published last January.

Mario Trépanier, base manager in Havre-Saint-Pierre, decided to trust him. “The guy who arrived in Port-Cartier on April 8 is Patrice, he’s not the actor,” emphasizes Godin, who has since accumulated nearly 400 hours of firefighting.

Having left on April 5, he did not return until August 15. “Of course, being away from my daughters and my family was special, but I felt that I had their absolute support,” he concludes.

Therapeutic approach

In this period of great change, he also undertook a therapeutic approach.

“I refused for years to go see a psychologist. I struggled with it because I was a fat guy, no need for that, he confides. It’s one of the best things I’ve done in my life.”

Despite the end of his relationship, Patrice Godin remains optimistic.

“We are in perfect harmony, and then things go really well,” he says, while emphasizing that family remains “at the forefront” for both parents.
