His new life pleases him! In shape, without alcohol and without cigarettes for several months now, the singer Renaud lives a second youth at 71 years old. This is good, since he has embarked on a very long tour and travels the cities of France with his best songs in an exceptional show. And if his voice, damaged by too much excess, sometimes fails him, the public is always there for his greatest hits. Faced with the success he decided that to the first 44 dates, he added 36 from September!

And not just the public: behind the scenes, the singer has been living a great love story for a year now with a 42-year-old woman, so much younger than him, whom he nicknames “Cerise” and with whom he lives in the Loire. -Atlantic. Designer of clothes and accessories, she had met him several years ago, as he told the Parisian this Sunday : “She’s been following me for thirty years, but we first met six years ago on a TV set (the show ‘Thank you Renaud’, where she was sitting at her table). […] We met on May 12, 2022, the day after I turned 70“.

But then, who is this famous Cherry… and where does this adorable fruit nickname come from? The explanation is very simple: actually named Christine, “she wore earrings with cherries, unforgettable“during their first real meeting. And the singer couldn’t resist it! Talkative on the subject in the same interview, he also confided that everything had been very fast between them, with meetings “at home in Paris, then in Provence, then on vacation in Cap-Ferret“. He even had cherries tattooed on his forearm lately.

Accepted by family

Rediscovering his youth, the interpreter of Winner Mistral even has desires from elsewhere with its beautiful Cherry: “It makes me want to travel, to take her to Venice, Greece, to the island of Patmos, where I had the best vacation of my life when I was young“. Anyway, he admits, his life has taken a turn since they met: “His arrival in my life changed everything. I’m madly in love“.

The icing on the cake, his companion is accepted by his family, always behind him. During his concert in Avignon, in particular, a large part had gathered to encourage him: “There was Lolita (his daughter), David (his twin brother), Dominique (his first wife)… She is always there to support me. My son Malone came to see me in Lille, he is going to pass his French baccalaureate, he will be 17 on July 14. It’s important that they are here, this tour is important to me“. A craze that does him good!
