This really hits me hard—what we’re living through right now!
On the airwaves of Rythme FM, during their program Les filles du lunch, Marie-Eve Janvier and Maripier Morin opened up candidly about female friendship—its beauty, but also the challenges it can bring—while lifting the curtain on their own evolving relationship.
When a professional relationship blossoms into genuine camaraderie
“It seems that ever since we started working together, whenever we’re asked to do interviews, everyone keeps asking me about you: ‘So, how’s it going with Marie-Eve?’ And I always say: ‘What an exceptional colleague’ … my radio partner … Then the first show this season, you spoke about your summer, about what you’ve experienced in your work, about the path you’re on. Then I told you: ‘We finished a radio season, and I didn’t quite know who Marie-Eve Janvier was.’ You know, I had fun on air with you—something always happened—but when the mic went off, I felt I hadn’t fully accessed who you are. After the first show, you came on, you opened the valve, you opened your heart, you let me in, and it became one of the most beautiful… one of the most beautiful gifts I’ve received in my life. Yet even after that, I didn’t allow myself to say you were my friend, because there comes an age… where it seems we no longer know how to be, how to live, how to do things. When you’re young, it’s easy—you go to your friend in the school yard and you say: ‘Do you want to be my friend?’ …”
Maripier Morin’s big request
“This afternoon, Marie-Eve, I feel like making the grand gesture… Do you want to be my friend, Marie-Eve Janvier?” she asks.
“Yes, I want to be your friend, Maripier. Do you want to be my friend?” Marie-Eve adds.
“I really want to be your friend… It means so much to me what we’re experiencing right now, because it took us a year and a month to get to this point… But I felt I also needed to respect your pace,” Morin says.
“(…) I don’t know you completely either. We’re here, we spend a lot of time together, but we’re arriving from our own family bubbles… So we come with baggage, sometimes, that we don’t necessarily want to talk about…,” explains Marie-Eve, underscoring the complexity, once you’re grown, of knowing when you can truly call someone a friend.
A key bond built on trust
“But Maripier, I say yes to your question and yes to this friendship, because I consider us friends. I believe friendship starts when trust is established, and I think there’s that link that unites us,” the singer concludes.
In short, the exchange between Marie-Eve and Maripier shows that friendship, even in adulthood, can blossom when trust takes hold. A sincere and moving moment that underscores the importance of opening up to others.
