“At 36, I am very happy with my life as a single woman and I am confident about the rest…”
Are you open to meeting new people?
At 36, I am very happy in my life as a single woman and I am confident about the rest. In the last year, I have had some great encounters that did not last, but that have led me to know myself better and to know what I wanted and what I did not want. I consider that these encounters have given me many tools to help me grow, so there was nothing negative in that. Deep down, maybe I will find love at 40, 45 or even 50, who knows? It will happen when the time is right and when a good person for me crosses my path. Everything I live between now and then is not “in the meantime”; it is my life, I love it and I am enjoying it to the fullest.
One thing is for sure, you seem to be leading a very good life.
I am privileged: my life is well balanced. I have a job that I love, a circle of friends made up of exceptional people, an extraordinary family, and I live with my dog Henri, who I probably love too much! (laughter) Plus, I’m healthy and have boundless energy, so I’m already fulfilled. I couldn’t ask for more.
As you are a well-known personality, do you think that helps or hinders you in meeting good people?
That’s a great question. I would say it hurts me, because in bars, I really don’t get approached by anyone! (laughter) People often come up to me to talk about my work and they are really nice, but that’s about it. I never get approached except when I’m traveling because people don’t know me. At the same time, it’s okay because I’m not looking to “date” in bursts either. And now that I have more confidence in myself, when I like someone, I’ll be confident enough to approach them. That’s very new for me; before, I would have done it, but only after a few drinks! (laughter)
At 36, do you feel any stress about starting a family?
Honestly, I never felt that stress. In my defense, I never felt my biological clock ticking either. I always felt like if I was going to have kids one day, then the opportunity would present itself. And if I didn’t, my life wouldn’t be any less beautiful. I’m already a great aunt to the kids around me, and I don’t need to start a family to feel like I’ve succeeded in life.
