She is one of the best-known TV presenters in the French audiovisual landscape. Also a culinary critic, Julie Andrieu has managed to turn her hobby into her profession. Passionate about everything related to cooking, it was in 2001 that the pretty blonde debuted on our small screens with the show Tout un plat on the Téva channel. It was a success and Julie Andrieu was entrusted with the reins of other shows including Julie's notebooks. In terms of private life, the latter was in a relationship with Jean-Marie Périer for four years.
Julie Andrieu's mother did not appreciate her relationship with Jean-Marie Périer
The culinary host in fact had a relationship with the famous photographer when she was only 20 years old at the time and he was 54. A romance that her mother, Nicole Courcel, did not necessarily view favorably .
Like any mother, the actress regretted that her daughter had decided to enter into a relationship with a man much older than her. “I knew he was very kind, that he would not harm my daughter. But their age difference bothered me. I said to myself: 'That's it, she's gone to find a surrogate father!' It made me sick.”she had confided several years before her death. A relationship which somehow echoes that of Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron.
An age difference of 34 years
Guest on the show Chez Jordan this Tuesday, October 29, 2024, Julie Andrieu returned to this love story with Jean-Marie Périer which definitively marked her existence.
“We're meeting for the first time, I'm 16 but nothing happens”she first recontextualizes.
It was finally four years later that the young woman embarked on a real relationship with the photographer by moving in with him. “We started living together when I was 20 and he was 54”. A new couple dynamic that doesn't please everyone. Very frank, Julie Andrieu then returned to her mother's reaction: “She said what I might have said in her place: 'but what are you going to do with this guy?'. Even if she knows him since she is very good friends with his father. (…) Mom feels guilty and above all she says to herself 'finally I raised her without a father and I'm getting a backlash because she's looking for the father'”.
Julie Andrieu: “the story was going nowhere”
After several years of happiness, the relationship between Julie Andrieu and Jean-Marie Périer is running out of steam. “We separated because the story was going nowhere and ultimately we were meant to be friends and accomplices. But it's true that 34 years ago, he had the generosity to say, despite our complicity, thatAt some point he had to push me out.”.
According to Julie Andrieu, the photographer simply felt that she was beginning to live a life different from his, and rightly so. Today, the bubbly blonde is thriving alongside the neurosurgeon Stéphane Delajoux whom she married in 2010 and with whom she had the pleasure of tasting the joys of motherhood.
