There are interviews that seem like exercises in style, and then there are others where you feel the person speaking is really opening up. The one that Flavie Flament gave to Gala clearly falls into the second category. The television host, who now presents her show Flavie en France, opened up about a topic she doesn’t usually discuss in public: her relationship with her body, her curves, and the inner peace she has taken time to find.
Behind this serenity, there’s Yannick, a man she met in Brazil over two years ago. With him, everything seems to flow differently. Flavie Flament shared a simple yet touching statement: “I am surrounded by people, and a man who loves me as I am, with my curves.” This kind of statement is genuine and heartfelt.
What stands out in these confessions is not so much the love story itself, but what it has triggered within her. Flavie Flament says she no longer wants to “waste time”, and coming from someone who has been through what she has, this statement carries a particular weight. She admits to truly starting to enjoy life only at the age of 35. It’s as if a part of her life had started a bit late, but with even greater strength.
Her discourse becomes even more powerful on the topic of aging. Flavie Flament is not resigned or in denial. She celebrates aging. “I feel good growing old because I am alive: I have a body that laughs, enjoys, lives, and that’s much sexier than a figure that only suggests constraints.” In a media landscape where women are often pressured to fight the signs of aging rather than embrace it, her stance stands out.
Flavie Flament’s message is bold, taking a direct jab at strict diets and the “before/after” industry that adds weight to women’s insecurities. The fact that it’s coming from Flavie Flament, who has long embodied a polished image in TV hosting, gives it even more impact. The message resonates because it’s not a temporary stance.
With her show Flavie en France on France 3, her sons making their own paths, and Yannick sharing her daily life, the host seems to have found a balance that suits her. We eagerly look forward to seeing this version of her, calm and confident, continue to freely express herself on screen. It’s promising!
