Gérard Holtz talks about his divorce from his son's mother: "I was so shocked"<

If Gérard Holtz is now madly in love with his wife, Muriel Mayette-Holtz, he went through a difficult period at the time of his divorce from the mother of his two children. This ordeal shocked him deeply, as he reveals in the columns of Gala.

Gérard Holtz is a happy man. For more than ten years, he has given perfect love to the woman who became his wife, Muriel Mayette-Holtz. But the former sports journalist's love life wasn't always a long, quiet river. In 1979, he married Marie-Françoise Buart for the first time. From their union were born two boys, Julien, now 42 years old, and Antoine, 34 years old. But in 2006, Gérard Holtz and Marie-Françoise Buart divorced. An event that has profoundly affected those who started a career as a model for the Italian luxury brand Brioni, which supplies James Bond's costumes in particular.

He went back to that period of his life in the columns of Gala. "I was so shocked to see our love extinguish like fire in a chimney, that I began to write about love. What it engenders: admiration, sexuality, desire, humour, compromise, respect, tenderness, complicity, the pleasure of being together, "he confided. Gerald Holtz revealed that he had "five great love stories" in his life. But it was in the arms of Muriel Mayette-Holtz that he found the "absolute fullness", assures the one who had an affair with actress Julie Arnold.

Gérard Holtz: "I found love despite age"

Gérard Holtz says he's happier today than he was at 30: "I'm going to the end of my dreams. I also have two wonderful sons whom I love with all my heart and I have found love despite the age. I wish this love to everyone. Sometimes we are told: 'stop with your happiness!', but we are like this. We love each other and we would like everyone to know that happiness.
