It’s been 8 years since Patricia Kaas last released a project. The singer has decided to take time for herself away from the spotlight and has no regrets as she confided yesterday, Saturday January 11, to Isabelle Ithurburu as part of her portrait in 50′ Insideon TF1. “I needed it for several reasons”, did she first recognize about this choice of “blow”. “Psychological and physical fatigue. I really needed to take time for myself and perhaps also simply to know a little about the woman I have become because when you enter into a whirlwind like that at 30, you enjoy lots of things but (…) It’s true that I gave a lot and I sacrificed a lot of things”she explained.
Patricia Kaas opens up about not having children
And to resume: “After a while, you feel like it’s time to say, ‘I need to breathe because if I don’t breathe now, it’s not going to be good because I’m not going to like what I do’. You need a desire to do what you do. It’s too difficult otherwise.”. Patricia Kaas also returned to another subject: that of motherhood. The singer who never had children explained that it was a choice and that she did not experience it as mourning, on the contrary. To Isabelle Ithurburu, she declared: “I didn’t grieve not having children, it was a choice, I didn’t miss it.” She then completed her response as follows: “And then it’s like that, it had to be like that, it was my choice and the moment I wanted it was too late and then that’s itBut life gave me something else, and today I’m 58 and I haven’t missed it. Will I miss it at seventy? I don’t know, I don’t think so“.
“It was a slap in the face”
In an interview given to our colleagues at Gala, she nevertheless confided that she had undergone several abortions: “As far as I’m concerned, either I wasn’t with the right person or it wasn’t the right time. There were times when a man asked me to keep our child, but in my head, my choice was clear”. She then ended up learning that she would not be able to have children, and remembered: “It was a slap in the face. I experienced it as an injustice, because I lead a healthy lifestyle, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs. That’s what upset me the most. I thought I could choose when I gave birth, but no, nature decided.”.
