Family is sacred to Vianney. In a new episode of Elodie’s World Revealed this Wednesday, August 14, the singer agreed to make some confidences about his loved ones, and in particular his daughter-in-law, for whom he wrote the song Father-in-law. “It comes from the love I developed, which I didn’t expect, for a little girl who wasn’t mine. This is the situation of many people, so it can be a real adoption, but also like me, to simply become a stepfather or stepmother.“, explained the 33-year-old artist on the airwaves of franceinfo. And the one who shares Catherine Robert’s life added: “My love for this little girl is infinite, yet she is not my daughter. There is something mysterious about that and it is beautiful. I wanted to tell it in ‘Dad-in-law.'”
For him, family is not limited to blood ties, as he explained to Elodie Suigo.It is a special form of love, because of course, the child does not come from us, we can never replace blood ties.“, observed the man who is also the father of a little boy, before adding: “But I still really noticed that family was not just blood ties..”
Vianney, father of a little boy: this “sacrifice” that he no longer wants to make
Already stepfather to his partner Catherine Robert’s daughter, Vianney became the father of little Edgar in October 2021. At the time, his life as an artist took up a lot of his time, which prevented him from enjoying his family life. In 2023, he made a radical decision and stopped performing on stage.I need to take a break because it’s true that I have a baby and I really like watching him grow (…) I have to give myself at least three years without concerts“, he confided to Nikos Aliagas in 50’ Inside. This Monday, August 12, the interpreter of Not there brought up this topic again on the show Elodie’s world on franceinfo. “Touring takes me too far from home“, explained the coach of The Voice. “It is a sacrifice of time and energy which is huge.“
He adds that managing the pace and looking after a baby was becoming complicated.Then, you’re jet-lagged because on tour, you go to bed at 4am and when you have a baby, you get up at 4am. It’s physically too hard, not compatible.“, he said. As a father, his presence is as indispensable as that of the mother and he could not let his partner take care of everything.And above all, when you have a child, you have to be there. We count a lot on women for that, but dads are important. So of course, I try to be there.“, continued Vianney. Even though he stopped performing, the singer does not intend to stop making music. Indeed, when he announced he was taking a break, he also specified that he wanted to continue writing songs.
