“Let’s just say that it shook me up to change partners so suddenly. This is my eighth year in the world of radio, and I know that it’s a world in which there are a lot of changes. I’m someone who’s very flexible in life, but that doesn’t take away the fact that when I heard the news, I found it difficult. That day, I started the day with one partner and ended it with another. But that’s just like radio; it moves quickly. An opportunity arose and my bosses decided to jump on it,” Marie-Eve told us. “Beyond that, it hurt me a lot to lose Patricia. I saw this girl every day, four days a week, and the bonds between us had become strong. She arrived at a time in my life when I needed that energy.”
No discomfort
Contrary to what has been said, there is no awkwardness between the new co-hosts following the hostess gift that Maripier gave Marie-Eve the day she arrived (she gave her sanitary napkins on air, because Marie-Eve had confided in her that she had urinary leakage due to her perimenopause). “It’s a storm in a teacup. Maripier’s gift didn’t make me feel uncomfortable at all and it’s not the revelation of a big secret on her part. On the contrary, it made me laugh a lot! We’re going to talk more and more about perimenopause, because it haunted my summer and I’m in it, since I’m going to be 40 this year. I need someone to come and shake up my foundations, otherwise I’m becoming too much of a school teacher; I’m very strict and disciplined. I like having someone who destabilizes me.”
Whirlwind year
Marie-Eve also told us that she was experiencing a great deal of mourning at the moment: that of the end of the musical comedy. Waitress. “This show has been a wonderful experience for me. Even before it started, I knew it was going to play a decisive role in my life. I enjoyed every second of it and I’m really proud of myself. I have a secret fantasy that it will come back one day,” says the woman who will devote herself exclusively to radio this fall. “It’s a choice. I need to take a break from it all because I’ve had a big year with the renovations on my house and my son who just turned one. It’s been a whirlwind year. Now, I want to enjoy my family a little, get to know my new radio partner and have some fun.”
The Lunch GirlsMonday to Thursday, 11:30 a.m., on Rythme.
