Separation for Marie-Mai and David Laflèche

Marie-Mai announced Friday on Instagram that her romantic relationship of the last six years with David Laflèche is over. The parents of little Gisèle, five years old, however, wish to remain “allies” and friends.

“Dave and I had quite an adventure together. Years of learning, music, happiness, passion and parenthood. A beautiful skewer of unforgettable things, ”wrote the singer from the outset.

They intend to remain friends, as Marie-Mai explained, writing that we must “learn to recognize when something is no longer working and make room for new dynamics for the good of all, but especially for that of our daughter” . She also hopes, as is the case so far, to succeed in their separation.

“It is with this in mind that, for a while, we have ended our romantic relationship and see the future as allies for each other. Just that, it makes us smile.”

It should be noted that the couple had been “house apart” since 2020, by choice, a decision that Marie-Mai had explained to YouTuber Rémi Desgagné no later than last June.

“I needed to find myself, to know what I was worth outside of my career, outside of my marriage. […] Having two houses allowed us to solidify our relationship, the things we had to work on, and him, and me, […] then by the tape we found that our relationship with our daughter has “exploded” because she has her moments when she’s just with me, she’s not looking for my attention, I’m just there with her. She has her moments with her dad where she’s just with him, they have things they just do together […]. Then every weekend, we find the family together.

The couple also shared, during the week, a day for two without their daughter while the latter was at daycare, Marie-Mai had said at the start of the summer.
