Jenifer, a breath of nostalgia
Jenifer found the castle of
Star Academy with impressive stage fright and a rather particular cocktail of emotions. Nostalgia quickly kicked in, and the singer shared: “ I remembered my friends, 16 of us returned to this castle. Maybe deep down, I would have liked to relive the thing with everyone from back then. » She mentions in particular Olivia
Ruizbursts of laughter, but also the most moving momentslike a return to basics full of memories.
The first season of “Star Academy” really left its mark, and for Jenifer, the experience was far from banal: “ We didn't calculate anything, we were crazy carefree. Each of our outings created hysteria. I was fond of cutting myself off from the world I was in too. » At 16, she was living a dream, but also a moment of break with his somewhat complex adolescencewhich completely brought her out of a somewhat dark period.
“It brought me back to basics”
After her victory which exploded the audience counts, Jenifer had quite a dilemma: “ I loved my friends so much that I said to myself: “Why me and not them too?” “. A resounding success, but which left her a little destabilized, especially when she saw the extent of the fame that isolated her. « I didn't know that success could be so isolating. I, who am very sociable, have experienced a lot of confinement. ” And the paparazzi didn't make things easy: ” It was harassment. I was dreading going to the park with my son. ” Of the ” rats » in search of photos on every street corner, a pressure that she experienced as extremely violent.
Fortunately, Jenifer found an anchor in her music, her role as a mother and the love of her fans: “ It brought me back to basics. » Today, the singer feels more fulfilled and “free” than ever. Mom, artist and more serene,
she learned to keep her balance in this whirlwind that is fame, without ever losing sight of what really matters.
Jenifer: her little deviations to keep the pep!
Jenifer has found her balance and seems more radiant than ever. Today, she lives with a serenity of “assertive woman“, far from the pressures of the past: ” I feel good about my age, I know myself better, I take more responsibility for myself “. Goodbye complexes, the 42 year old singer
fully accepts its wrinkles and the signs of time: “ I am less into seduction, more into acceptance, of the wrinkles on my face, of my aging body… » Of course, she remains flirtatious, but from now on, she allows herself the luxury of looking indulgently in the mirror.
But there’s no question of depriving yourself of the little pleasures of life! “
I smoke cigarettes, I drink coffee, I'm not the type to get frustratedbut I know that the body cannot accept everything. » And even if she struggles with the discipline of sport, the young mother finds her balance elsewhere. With her children, she recharges her batteries away from the glitter: “ I'm not a night owl, you won't see me at trendy parties. » For Thierry Neuvic's ex-partner, nothing better than simple pleasures, like walking barefoot or gardening. A quiet life, but so fulfilling!
