That was all done in a wholesome, healthy way. I’m glad about that.
In November 2024, Karine Vanasse, known for keeping her private life under wraps, surprised everyone by revealing that she had fallen in love with world traveler Guillaume Duranceau-Thibert.

Did you see something? Discretion guaranteed.
“Our hair had the chance to go from long to short to long again, the seasons had time to come and go and wrap around us… while we took care to let our hearts open and bond, protected: In the most beautiful river. In the deepest of swirls,” she wrote alongside the announcement.
But a year after that revelation, how does she feel today about her relationship and that big public moment?
HollywoodPQ recently had the opportunity to talk with the actress and skilled host, on the sidelines of the press screening for the brand-new show Karaoké Club, hosted by Stéphane Rousseau and featuring her as a participant. We took the chance to broach the subject with her.
“That was all done in a wholesome way. I’m glad about that,” she told HollywoodPQ regarding the announcement.
The artist explained that going public “simply allowed me to free myself from the thought of: Should I say it? Shouldn’t I say it?”
“Well now, you know, at some point it’s been so long,” she adds, hinting that it was finally the right moment to share after all this time.
A lovely love story… and the public’s reaction
Karine confides that she was moved by the public’s reception of the news:
“It was beautiful and touching to see how people reacted. In fact, I realize that we want to see beautiful stories.”
“At the same time, I’m not putting any pressure on it being perfect; that’s not the point. It’s more about seeing that, yes, you can find someone later in life too. That kind of story can happen,” she says, clearly still very in love.
A first public appearance
These two lovebirds stepped out publicly for the first time last September on the red carpet at the 40th Gemini Awards:
“Guillaume joined me at the gala the other night, and it was wonderful to have him by my side… It’s fun to have him there for certain moments, just as I’m proud of his accomplishments,” Karine explains.
The actress admits, however, that she prefers to stay “discreet” on the topic.
“But at the same time, there came a moment when I think the desire wasn’t to keep any mystery about it, because deep down we know it’s well established,” she concludes.
Our best wishes and thanks
We wish the couple continued happiness and extend our heartfelt thanks to Karine for such a delightful moment and for her generosity!
