THESE CELEBRITIES WHO ARE NOT AFRAID OF THE AGE DIFFERENCE
If the marriage of Cécilia Attias to Nicolas Sarkozy, in 1996, which gave birth to their son, Louis, seems to be her most significant love story, her sentimental life does not stop there. Indeed, before sharing the life of the former President of the Republic, she was the wife of Jacques Martin, a legendary host of French television. With 19 years separating them, their love story has not failed to get people talking. Cécilia and Jacques Martin married at a time when the latter was at the height of his career, notably thanks to emblematic shows like The Little Rapporteur, Fan School or even Sunday Martin. Together, they had two daughters: Judith, born in 1984, and Jeanne-Marie, in 1987.
What is surprising is that Nicolas Sarkozy, then close to the couple, was present at their union and even godfather to their two children. A closeness that would evolve in unexpected ways. If today, Cécilia is in love with businessman Richard Attias, his passage in the life of Jacques Martin remains a significant chapter in his journey. A point in common not quite like the others that she shared with a figure from the small screen.
Marion Game, another woman marked by Jacques Martin
Before Cécilia Attias, another well-known French personality had already succumbed to the charm of Jacques Martin. This is Marion Game, famous for her role as Huguette in Household Scenes. Their love affair lasted from 1968 to 1972, although before the host meets the woman who would become the wife of a future president of the Republic.
Marion Game, who died on March 23, 2023, had always spoken with tenderness about her romantic past with Jacques Martin. Their relationship, although brief, left lasting memories in the life of the actress. At the time, Jacques Martin was already an essential figure on television, while Marion Game was slowly building her career as an actress. Despite their separation, the two artists continued to nourish a mutual admiratione.
Jacques Martin’s sentimental journey is far from being limited to these two stories. Before Marion Game, he married Annie Lefèvre, with whom he had two children. In the 1970s, he shared the life of Danièle Evenou, another famous actress. Finally, his last companion before his death in 2007 was Céline Boisson. In total, the host had eight children, a true family legacy.
A sentimental and professional legacy
Cécilia Attias and Marion Game shared one thing in common: their love for Jacques Martin. Yet, their backgrounds and experiences with the facilitator were very different. If Marion Game was already a recognized actress when she met Jacques, Cécilia was still far from the media spotlight. Marion Game’s relationship with Jacques Martin was tinged with humor and complicity, two traits which corresponded well to the actress’s sparkling personality. For her part, Cécilia shared another side of the man, more family-oriented and focused on their life with their two daughters. These two stories show the complexity and richness of human relationships, where each partner brings something different.
With his eight children from several unions, Jacques Martin left behind a substantial family legacy. But his influence goes far beyond his descendants. Whether through its cult shows or its relationships with talented women like Marion Game and Cécilia Attias, the host remains a notable figure on French television.
