Mika is sponsor of the 38th edition of the Telethon, which begins on November 29. The artist has a special link with France. But what do we know about the 41-year-old singer and his private life?
Mika, who is sponsor of the 38th edition of the Telethon, has dreamed of fulfilling this role for years. If we have already offered it to him in the past, he was only able to accept this year: it is the first time that he has enough time to devote to the Telethon, which begins this November 29, he who has a series of projects and touring lately. His professional life is therefore often busy, but what do we know about his private life?
Mika, in a relationship: who is her partner?
Mika is fulfilled in his career, but also in his private life. The singer, now 41, has been in a relationship for more than 15 years with Andreas Dermanis, known as Andy, whom he met in 2007 in a pub in London, after a difficult breakup, according to Stubborn. It was Andy who made the first move and came to approach the singer. After getting along well during the evening, the artist then insisted on accompanying him to the station… but clearly, this British director of Greek origin had fallen in love with him at first sight.
“I want to stay with you for life“, he told her. A little taken aback, Mika was not thrilled by this statement. Fortunately for him, Andy didn’t give up! A resilience that he is “extremely grateful” today since both are still enjoying happy days today. During his career, the artist dedicated several songs to his companion, including Origin of love in 2012 or more recently, in 2023, the title Me, Andy and Paris.
“If you ask me if I’m gay, I’ll tell you…”
It was in 2012 that the interpreter of Grace Kelly came out, after years of remaining evasive on the question of her sexual orientation. “If you ask me if I’m gay, I’ll tell you yes. Do the songs (from my new album) evoke my relationship with a man? I answer yes. It was only through music that I found the strength to accept my sexuality beyond the simple words of my songs. This is my real life“, he confided to the magazine Instinct.
Where does Mika live?
Today, the singer lives between Miami and London and has a ‘workshop’ where the sets and costumes for his shows are made in Puglia, Italy, according to Release. But the one who revealed that he no longer intended to serve as a coach in The Voice maintains a particular link with France, where he has many friends, according to his confidences in Parisian : “Artists, designers, writers, media people, like Marc-Olivier Fogiel, with whom I have a strong friendship“.
