What was the emotional situation of Evelyne Leclercq during the last years of her life? The ex-speakerine, who has just died, “never lived as a couple” and confided in her (sad) vision of love….
Evelyne Leclercq may well have played matchmaker for several dozen couples in Spin Merry-Go-Roundshe was not particularly lucky in love. The former host, who has just died at the age of 74 following a long illness according to a press release from her daughter Céline, spoke a few years ago about her love life, in the show Weekend Docs on TF1.
Evelyne Leclercq and her exes, her “collection of losers”
“I’m a pretty lonely person. I don’t like schedules, that’s why I’ve never lived with a partner, even when married. Because I, a husband who comes home at noon for lunch or in the evening for dinner, could not. I’m quite bohemian actually“. Very attached to her freedom, this mother of a 52-year-old daughter named Céline does not intend to sacrifice her peace of mind and her independence for the arms of a man.
Evelyne Leclercq was also married to Jacques Olive, presenter at Radio-Nice, whom she married in October 1972.It was a marriage of convenience to please both our families“, she declared to France Sunday.
In September 1983, she then said “yes” to Richard Rocard. But none of these ex-spouses were able to convince her of the benefits of everyday life and life together… On the contrary! The ex-speakerine described her former lovers with words that were anything but tender: “A collection of losers, and too bad for those watching television today“. And knock!
Was Evelyne Leclercq single at the end of her life?
In 2023, Evelyne Leclercq entrusted Tele-Leisure that she was not in a relationship: “I’m single and very happy like that. I’ve lived 25,000 lives and today it’s more like ‘Leave me alone!’ I no longer want to have constraints“.
She imagined the end of her life with family and on stage, notably with faithful friends Sophie Darel and Danièle Gilbert. With them, Evelyne Leclercq had to go back on stage to play the play The Glorious Three in 2020. But the health crisis put a brake on this project. “Routine, what a misfortune. Routine, retirement, those are words I can’t use. They are not part of my vocabulary at all“, she said. Celibacy, yes! Boredom, never!
