Invited to The Sunday Show with Jeannot, hosted by Jean-Sébastien Girard, France Castel spoke with remarkable honesty about several aspects of her personal and professional life. A staple figure in the Quebec arts scene, beloved by audiences for many years, she blends the roles of host, singer, and actress, which made her appearance particularly anticipated.
During the interview, France Castel revisited her rich and varied career, but also the moments of doubt that sometimes led her to consider stepping away from the media world. With frankness, she spoke of these periods of self-questioning, revealing a more vulnerable side of her journey, far from the well-established public image. She also admitted feeling some fatigue, even as she recognized the deep love she has for her craft. You can learn more about her confidences on this topic here.
The discussion then turned to her love life, in particular her 27-year relationship. Castel shared a few insights into what she believes are the foundations of a solid, lasting love. When asked about the possibility of marriage, she answered in straightforward terms. A moving interview that allowed the audience to rediscover a woman who is authentic and thoughtful.
A Possible Marriage? She Answers
Always as honest as ever, France Castel opened up about the possibility of marrying her long-time partner during the show. The host recalled that a psychic had once predicted she would remarry at 82, an age she’ll reach in just a few months.
This anecdote, therefore, rekindled the question.
Her response was direct and without hesitation: “Never. No way. What would that even change?” France says in a very… direct tone.
A short but telling line about her view: after 27 years together, she believes their relationship is already firmly established. For her, marriage is not a necessity to formalize their love. A stance that aligns with many modern couples who prefer a flexible, lasting partnership.
The Secret to a Solid Love
As in every episode, the studio audience can also weigh in with pointed questions for the guest. One comes from sexologist David Simard, who is curious about the longevity of her romantic relationship:
“Knowing you’ve been with your partner for 27 years, I’d like to know what the secret is to lasting love?”
“The secret, I think, for me, at my age, with time, I used to last about two years, then get bored, and end it. But I think it’s about meeting the right person at the right moment when you need that kind of energy. My partner and I are very different, and truly, if I’d met Chawky at twenty, it wouldn’t have lasted. When I met him, I needed this very different energy. And I think we’re complementary, and I’ll say that passion, which I knew a lot, has given way to deep, more reasonable love. And I believe that by experiencing this kind of love, I discovered deep intimacy I hadn’t known before. I think that’s what we needed, and so did he. So it lasts because we talk and because we grow,” narrates France.
