An essential face of the French music scene for many years now, singer Raphaël recently expanded his home. Indeed, the musician has become the father of a third child alongside his long-time partner, the actress Mélanie Thierry. As part of the promotion of his upcoming concert dates, Raphaël gave a long interview to Version Femina on Sunday June 23, 2024. During this interview, the musician was obviously questioned about his recent paternity. “That’s wonderful. My first two sons, aged 15 and 10, are like examples for me, I admire them, I like their spirit, the way they perceive the world, their tenderness, their humor. It’s also joyful to have a baby, we forget how miniature, precious, fragile it is.”, indicated Mélanie Thierry’s companion. The couple was also recently seen in the stands of Roland-Garros with their first two children.
“In one year, I painfully gave birth to a few songs, and Mélanie [Thierry] created a kind of perfection, it’s completely crazy! I knock open doors, but I can’t get tired of admiring all this life! Newborns refer to things so distant, so deep, we have the impression that they come from the depths of the universe. It’s dazzling”, also added Raphaël. During this same interview, the singer was also questioned about his relationship with age and the passage of time, as he slowly approaches fifty. “I’m 48 and I don’t have a problem with the passage of time. For now, I think every age is wonderful. I was more worried in my 20s or early 40s. Today Today, I don’t feel calm, but I find that I work well. I try to release beautiful records, beautiful books, to do my best.underlined the musician.
Raphaël: an extremely prolific artist
“I am very happy when I work, it makes me very happy to compose, and then to share. When you’re an artist, you have that in you, you can’t do without creating, otherwise you feel like you’re wasting away. I don’t believe in idleness as a possibility of happiness, even if some are capable of it; That would make me very unhappy. When I finish a record, it’s as if I have to hurry, the next minute, to start writing a book. In fact, I need to get back to it. I have the feeling of not yet having completed what I have to produce in music and literature.”Raphaël finally concluded.
