Maripier Morin: My Boyfriend Was Totally Against It

  • On Lunch Girls, Maripier Morin and Isabelle Racicot discuss cosmetic surgery.
  • Maripier says her partner Jean-Philippe Perras was initially against her injections.
  • She wants to stay natural while owning her choices.
  • Isabelle Racicot reveals whether she has ever said no to such procedures.

Live on the show Lunch Girls with Rythme, Maripier Morin and Isabelle Racicot spoke frankly about cosmetic surgery and medical-aesthetic procedures. During the conversation, Maripier Morin was especially candid about her own habits when it comes to cosmetic injections and how her partner, Jean-Philippe Perras, reacted.

The host explained that when their relationship began, her partner had a hard time understanding this approach and was rather reluctant about such treatments:

“When I first met my boyfriend and told him I was doing it twice a year, he was completely against it. He asked me, ‘Why are you doing that?’ He didn’t understand; he judged it.”

Maripier took the time to articulate her perspective and the personal reasons behind the decision. For her, these procedures aren’t about radically changing her appearance, but about discreetly preserving certain features in a natural way:

“I told him: I’d like to preserve what I have. (…) I don’t want you to notice. Often, the two times a year I get my injections, Jean-Philippe, he doesn’t know about it.”

With this discussion, Maripier Morin once again demonstrates her willingness to openly tackle sensitive topics, sharing her experience unfiltered and with a great deal of authenticity.

The Beauty of Aging

Meanwhile, Isabelle Racicot also took advantage of the discussion to candidly share about a cosmetic procedure she recently tried for the first time. While making clear that she holds no judgment for people who opt for Botox or fillers, she explains she wants to maintain the most natural approach to aging possible.

“I don’t judge anyone who gets Botox or fillers; I understand it (…) I told myself, because I’m on television, that I’d try to age as naturally as possible, for as long as possible. I want us to be able to see on screen women who have wrinkles, who age. I’m 54, and I did what’s called a mini-botox between my brows six months ago for the first time,” Isabelle explains.

With this reflection, Isabelle Racicot underscores the importance of representing women on screen who age naturally, while fully owning the personal choices she makes for herself.

Facing the Mirror

Maripier Morin also spoke with remarkable honesty about her view of aging and the way she sees her own image. In a vulnerable moment, she shares her thoughts on the natural changes that come with time and how she welcomes them in her daily life:

“I feel like my younger years are behind me. The reflection I see in the mirror when I smile, under my eyes, all the lines that have appeared—expression lines that are perfectly normal. I’m wondering, am I learning to live with this, should I do something about it?”

Through these confessions, Maripier Morin and Isabelle Racicot express a deeply personal dilemma shared by many: whether to embrace the natural aging process or to pursue ways to feel better in one’s skin. They illuminate this inner conversation about aging, self-image, and how to approach these changes with gentleness and realism.
