- Marie-Claude Savard opens up about marriage.
- She reveals she almost said yes… several times.
- A revelation about her love life.
- Rumors of a romance.
On the air on Rythme with the The Early Risers, Marie-Claude Savard recently spoke with notable candor about her take on marriage and the pressure that can sometimes surround this milestone. In conversation with Anne-Marie Withenshaw, the two hosts explored a trend that’s gaining traction among certain couples: choosing to celebrate their union at the same time as friends or family members.
This approach, which turns the wedding into a collective event, seems to offer a different—perhaps lighter—way to approach this major life milestone. Instead of centering all the attention on a single couple, the experience shifts toward sharing, camaraderie, and the joy of celebrating together.
During the chat, Marie-Claude Savard admitted she’d technically been inches from saying “I do”… a few times. She also acknowledged that the idea resonates with her on a personal level.
“It feels reassuring to me, because I’ve almost gotten married several times in my life, and I think it put too much focus and pressure on one event. If I could have wed in a group, I think I would have,” she confided.
With this sincere reflection, the host highlights a reality many people can relate to: marriage is often accompanied by lofty expectations, meticulous planning, and an emotional load that can feel overwhelming. Her remark also opens the door to another way of imagining this celebration—more spontaneous, more collective, and perhaps less stressful.
The host leads a relatively private love life; however, she recently addressed publicly a rumor about a romance. Continue reading to learn who was at the center of the chatter.
A discreet love life
Marie-Claude Savard typically keeps her romantic life very private. That’s why her recent on-air confession, in which she revealed she’d come close to marrying several times, surprised many listeners and offered a rare, more intimate glimpse into her journey.
Over the past year, the host has been at the center of several rumors about her dating life, to the point where she had to address things publicly to set the record straight.
Marie-Claude joked that she even amused herself by Googling to discover who her supposed new love interest might be.
She mentioned being linked in turn to Sébastien Dubé, then to Mario Jean. But she says the person who was at the heart of the early speculation was Peter MacLeod.
“I’ll reveal who started all of this at first, and it’s… Peter MacLeod,” Savard recounted with amusement.
Together, they explained that before the holidays, rumors had begun swirling after they were seen out at a few public appearances. Yet Peter MacLeod’s partner was also present at those occasions.
A situation the host now recounts with a light touch, while reminding listeners how quickly speculation about private lives can escalate.
