Pierrette and Jany, the two women in his life, present for a last tribute

Those close to Jean-Marie Le Pen made the trip this Saturday, January 11, to say goodbye to him. His daughters and grandchildren were of course present, as well as his wife Jany but also his ex-wife Pierrette.

They met to say a final goodbye. At Jean-Marie Le Pen’s funeral, his wife Jany as well as his ex-wife and mother of his daughters, Pierrette, both made an appearance. Relatives of the founder of the National Front met this Saturday, January 11 in La Trinité-sur-Mer (Morbihan), where the patriarch Le Pen was born on June 20, 1928 before dying on Tuesday, January 7, 2025 in Garches. His two daughters, Marie-Caroline and Marine Le Pen, were seen alongside their mother Pierrette before the ceremony. Yann Le Pen, the third daughter of Pierrette and Jean-Marie, was already waiting in the church. She was there with her daughter Marion Maréchal, according to information from BFM TV. The politician’s last wife, Jany Le Pen, née Paschos, was also present.

Three generations of Le Pen paid a final tribute to Jean-Marie. Marine Le Pen’s children, Jehanne, born in 1998, and the twins Louis and Mathilde, born in 1999, supported their mother in this ordeal. According to BFM TVMarie-Caroline Le Pen’s sons, Quentin and Pierre, also carried the coffin. Jordan Bardella arrived more discreetly for the ceremony. The president of the National Rally since 2021 shared the life of Nolwenn Olivier, the daughter of Marie-Caroline Le Pen, for three years.

The day when… Pierrette suddenly left Jean-Marie Le Pen for a man he knew very well

Pierrette’s presence at the funeral of her ex-partner may have surprised some. In fact, the couple left each other with loss and shock on October 10, 1984. Jean-Marie Le Pen announced this breakup, which he experienced as a betrayal, in the pages of Point : “I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, not even my worst enemy.” After 25 years of union, Pierrette would have slammed the door without warning. She then rebuilds her life with the journalist Jean Marcilly, whom Jean-Marie Le Pen knows well because he is her biographer! And the patriarch is not the only one to be upset: the three daughters Marine, Marie-Caroline and Yann cut ties with their mother for many years. But Marine Le Pen seems to have forgiven Pierrette, who was seen at her side during the campaign for the European elections last summer, before accompanying her during her father’s funeral this Saturday.
