Amel Bent, “too” close to her cousin? “My husband was not calm…”
“When I met my husband, he was not calm about the relationship with my cousin. He was like, ‘Am I going to have a place in his life?’“, first told the interpreter of My philosophy. Since her early childhood, Amel Bent has had a very strong bond with her cousin, whom she considers a confidant.
And even though they grew up together and are the same age, the artist, who has not always dreamed of being a singer, is aware that this proximity is not common. “It’s beyond that actually. Sometimes I tell myself that it is only him who understands me. It’s too much, it’s excessive. Even on music, he understands me“, she detailed before adding: “Even my husband says to me: ‘It’s too much…‘”.
Amel Bent and her cousin are sometimes so afraid of hurting each other that they don’t dare to be completely frank. “Sometimes we can’t even tell the truth. This is where our love is, we don’t want to get hurt. That is to say, even when everyone is against me, he says: ‘I also understand your position a little.’ He doesn’t want to tell me the truth because it will hurt me and he can’t hurt me“, she explained.
Amel Bent, frank about doubts about her relationship: “I asked myself the question…”
The interpreter of Why do you stay has also experienced moments of doubt in recent years with her husband, Patrick Antonelli, and then wondered if the lovebirds were still happy together. “When we’ve been in a relationship for a long time, I find it strange not to ask the question (…) “It’s an open question. Everyone has their answer. I got mine, positive“, she said to Evening Mag.

When we have a lot of grief and anger, we feel like no one can understand us.“.
And the 40-year-old star, who recently fell in love with a French village, clarified: “While I have a very close relationship with my lover, what I was experiencing was so painful that he couldn’t get into it. I had to experience this grief alone. And it was at that point in our relationship that I asked myself this question“.
