It’s full of twists and turns.”, confided Philippe Katerine last March on the set of the show As an asidebroadcast on Canal +, about his family life and the one that makes his heart beat.

Philippe Katerine: a look back at the couple formed by the singer with Helena Noguerra
But before setting his sights on Julie Depardieu, Philippe Katerine – who was also in a relationship with Jeanne Balibar – shared his life with another cinema figure: Helena Noguerra. A love story that lasted ten years, from 1999 to 2008, and the couple was marked by great complicity. Helena, younger sister of the singer Lio, has already spoken about this past relationship. “I think that love is a projection that we make on a stranger… It can happen that the other surprises you, even exceeds your projection, and you can last ten years. This is what happened with Philippe Katerine, because he was a fantastic spirit. Painful, but great”, she declared in the columns of the magazine ELLE in 2013. No doubt she was particularly proud to see her ex-husband perform, naked in a bell, on the stage of the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
