I don’t know if I can tell you yet…
At the start of 2026, Alexandra Diaz reveals she is taking on a new challenge. Rest assured: this is very good news, something that clearly excites her to the max, she who thrives on action and on projects.
Drop your scoop
Did you see anything? Discretion ensured.
It was on her social media that Alexandra first hinted that a new development was in the works professionally, without revealing immediately what it was about. After all, where’s the fun without a little mystery…?
“Also, I have good news to announce. I don’t know if I can announce it right away,” she says in a first teaser.
“2026, on the work front, you’re spoiling me, honey. Want me to guess? Clue 🎙,” she adds in the video caption.
The announcement is out: here are the details (and her obvious joy)
What is my life?
A few hours later, the mystery was finally solved: Alexandra Diaz is joining Rythme in Estrie as co-host of the program Les Lève-tôt, alongside Valérie Sirois. A new project that seems tailor-made for her!
That said, don’t get carried away: this is a temporary replacement for a few days while Valérie’s co-host, Maxime Landry, is back on the air.
“Three dream days with Valérie Sirois, before Max’s return! Hello Estrie and to the web for all of Quebec,” comments Alexandra, clearly thrilled.
“What is my life? In the studio in Sherbrooke for the right rhythm. Day 1/3,” she shares alongside a photo of herself behind the mic, underscoring her first day.
And if you go by this first day, everything suggests she already feels at home, and she has great chemistry with her broadcasting partner.
“The dream. 2026, you’re giving me another wonderful gift. I’ll warm Maxime Landry’s seat tomorrow, Thursday and Friday, co-hosting with a radio dynamo, the warm, good-natured, funny and kind Valérie who has welcomed me as a guest for years. Hello Estrie! We invite you to our girl’s lunch on your radio starting at 6 a.m. tomorrow. I’ve decided to move ahead at my own pace this year. As Val says, the good @rythme937et981 chose me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! This is going to be fun,” she adds in the caption of the official photo of the new duo.
Although this replacement is temporary, who knows what the future holds for her? And if listeners want more, it’s easy to imagine Alexandra taking the microphone more often.
A Look Back at a More Trying Update
Let’s recall that it was in October 2025 that the beloved figure in the culinary world spoke up to announce news just as heavy as it was upheaving…
“Dear friends, my heart is heavy as I write these words. I wish I could pull an airbag to soften this news. I have been diagnosed with an immune system cancer: mantle cell lymphoma. Yes, mantle cell lymphoma. My loved ones have me repeat it, muffling a nervous laugh. I, too, hadn’t heard of it before. No fault. Humor has always been what I love most in the world, especially for getting through storms. I will begin chemotherapy treatment any day now, for a period of six months. With my kids and my friends, we’re organizing, we’re cooking, we’re making bone broth in batches. (I really hope my Air Fryer gets to go with me to the hospital) I’ve told my kids that there are many lessons coming for them as well as for me. As the great Jane Fonda says: cancer is a teacher. The coming months will be rock’n’roll. I’d rather it be reggaeton. But I intend to be the best patient or student possible, for my health and for my kids, above all. Don’t be surprised if I continue at my own pace, with no pressure, with a bit of work and creativity through all of this. I must learn where to go in my head: staying busy is good for morale. Yes, one day at a time. But also one emotion at a time. Alex xoxo,” she wrote, with disarming sincerity, showing touching vulnerability and impressive strength.
That radio moment marks, clearly, a new challenge that seems to begin Alexandra’s 2026 on a comforting note, and warms her heart.
Congratulations to her on this well-deserved assignment! Here’s to a 2026 filled with wonderful surprises… like this one.
