Vitaa’s Guide to Keeping Love Alive While Cranking Out Hits!
In an exclusive interview, Vitaa talks about her relationship balance with her husband. Between professional collaboration and personal life, the singer reveals the secrets of their longevity: opposing but perfectly complementary personalities!
Ah, the age-old tale of balancing love and work! While some couples struggle to put up with each other over breakfast, Vitaa and her husband, Hicham Bendaoud (who sounds more like a side character from a spy movie), have been shaking things up since 2010. Yes, folks, that’s over 15 years of marriage bliss—most of it *away* from the prying eyes of cameras and gossip columns! Now, let’s not be coy—this isn’t your typical “love is in the air” nonsense; this is more like “love is in the label” as they co-manage their company, Indifference Prod. Clever name, right? Almost as clever as me!
The Reality of Working Together – Can It Work?
With Vitaa’s career soaring like a pigeon in a park, you’d think being together 24/7 might invite more fights than a reality TV show. Yet, the couple claims they have mastered the fine line of separating their professional and personal lives. Vitaa chirps that her husband is “very often at our offices, where I never go.” It’s the classic “stay in your lane” approach! And who could argue with the mantra “he’s a hands-on guy just not in this arena”? Seems he’s less of a stage husband and more of a behind-the-scenes wizard.
Roles and Arguments: What’s Love Without Them?
At work, Vitaa plays Picasso while Hicham calls the shots like a well-dressed director. She dives into her creative canvas, while he handles the business side—after all, money doesn’t grow on trees, at least not in this economy! “We never encroach on each other” she states, but let’s be real, we all know that even the best arrangements have a flicker of conflict—especially when both parties are perfectionists. “We often butt heads,” she admits, sounding like two artists fighting over the last paintbrush. But hey, it’s all part of the charm, right?
Patience, Communication, and Avoiding Ego
Now, here’s the kicker—Vitaa believes successful marriages have two main ingredients: communication and patience. Who knew?! It’s almost like she cracked the Da Vinci Code of relationships! She goes as far as to say pride can bring down a marriage faster than a bad karaoke rendition of “I Will Survive.” That’s right, folks—wield your ego carefully, or risk turning your love life into a Shakespearean tragedy.
Fifteen Years of “Perfectly Imperfect” Love
As we celebrate their nearly fifteen-year milestone, it becomes clear that Vitaa’s calm demeanor perfectly balances Hicham’s… shall we say, explosive personality traits. After all, opposites attract, right? “When he gets angry, I leave him alone,” she laughs. A woman after my own heart—this is some next-level relationship wisdom! It’s a proven fact: sometimes, a little distance keeps the fires of love burning bright, and their differences seem to be exactly what fuel their flame.
In a nutshell, Vitaa and Hicham embody the notion that career success and a harmonious relationship can indeed coexist. “We are fundamentally different, and that’s what makes us strong,” she concludes with pride. As they continue to do their duet in both love and work, we’re left to ponder: who needs a love potion when you’ve got well-defined roles and a knack for patience?
So, in a world where relationships are often labeled as “complicated,” let’s take a page from Vitaa and Hicham’s playbook: embrace your differences, set your boundaries, and for the love of all that’s holy, communicate!
In an exclusive interview, the talented singer Vitaa candidly shares insights into the intricate balance she maintains between her professional endeavors and her personal life with her husband. Unveiling the secrets behind their enduring relationship, she highlights how their opposing yet perfectly complementary personalities contribute to their lasting bond!
For several years, Vitaa has been on a remarkable streak of musical accomplishments, but it’s essential to recognize the steadfast foundation that lies beneath her successful career: Hicham Bendaoud, her husband since 2010, with whom she shares the joy of raising three children. Their enduring partnership, cultivated over 15 years away from the intrusive glare of public attention and media spotlight, is now explored in depth for the first time in the documentary “My name is Charlotte”, airing this Friday, November 22 at 9:25 p.m. on TMC. As part of this special occasion, the singer opens up about their unique relationship, which skillfully balances professional collaboration with the demands of family life, in Aufeminin.
“We built the label Indifference Prod with my husband several years ago. We work together every day, but we don’t necessarily see each other,” she confides, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of their professional dynamic. Surprisingly, this shared professional journey, which could pose challenges for many couples, is not a concern for them. “He is very often at our offices, where I never go,” explains Vitaa. “He’s not a hands-on guy, he never comes with me for promo, on TV or radio sets, or in the studio. On the other hand, he comes with me on tour.”
“We try as much as possible to separate work and married life”
At work, the singer and her husband share a common vision, yet each maintains control over their individual domains. “He’s very careerist and ambitious, so he manages the business side. I don’t at all: I’m only in the artistic side. We never encroach on each other.” This thoughtful division of responsibilities not only enriches their partnership but also contributes to the overall harmony of their relationship, even if it doesn’t come without the occasional disagreements. “We often butt heads, that’s for sure, because we’re both perfectionists. But we both pull each other up. That’s how we move forward.”
Working together has the potential to complicate married life, but Vitaa and her husband have discovered a formula that fosters their relationship. “When you have found the man of your life, there is no need for constant great proofs of love,” she asserts. For Vitaa, maintaining a successful marriage boils down to simple principles: “Communication and patience.” Acknowledging the imperfections in their relationship, she emphasizes that avoiding unnecessary pride is crucial. “When you put pride in your relationship, when you don’t communicate and when you don’t put yourself in the other’s place, it won’t last.”
“It’s been 15 years since everything has been going really well between us”
One of the essential aspects of their partnership, according to Vitaa, is the delicate balance they have cultivated amidst their differences. “I’m very routine, very calm, very patient. My husband is very impulsive, explosive and sanguine. Once again, we’re the opposite. And that’s what makes it work.” Their complementary personalities have allowed them a deeper understanding, which has grown over the years. “When he gets angry, I leave him alone and don’t add fuel to the fire,” Vitaa shares, her smile revealing the strength of their connection.
This remarkable combination of traits has enabled Vitaa and her husband to celebrate nearly fifteen years of a fulfilling marriage. “Today, things will be going really well between us for almost 15 years because we each have our place. I think we really complement each other.” Ultimately, the 41-year-old artist serves as an inspiring testament that it’s entirely feasible to achieve success in both personal and professional realms, even while collaborating closely. “We are fundamentally different, and that’s what makes us strong,” she concludes with a sense of pride.
How does open communication contribute to Vitaa and Hicham’s successful partnership in both love and business?
**Interview with Vitaa: Balancing Love and Work in a Harmonious Relationship**
**Interviewer:** Vitaa, thank you for joining us! You’ve been married to Hicham for over 15 years now, which is quite a feat in the entertainment industry. What’s the secret to your enduring partnership?
**Vitaa:** Thank you! I believe the key lies in understanding and respecting our individual strengths. Hicham is very ambitious and handles the business side of our label, Indifference Prod, while I focus on the artistic aspects. We consciously divide our roles and try not to encroach on each other’s space.
**Interviewer:** That sounds like a practical approach. How do you maintain that balance between your professional collaboration and personal life?
**Vitaa:** It can be tricky, but we try to separate work from married life as much as possible. For instance, Hicham is often at our offices, which I don’t visit much. He comes with me on tour, but otherwise, we have our separate spaces and responsibilities.
**Interviewer:** It sounds like you both have found your lanes! With both of you being perfectionists, have you ever faced any conflicts while working together?
**Vitaa:** Oh, definitely! We often butt heads because we both want the best. However, we leverage those moments to push each other forward. It’s part of the process, and I think it strengthens our bond. We challenge each other in a healthy way.
**Interviewer:** Communication seems vital in your relationship. You mentioned that pride can be a downfall in marriages. How do you ensure that doesn’t affect you both?
**Vitaa:** Absolutely. We practice patience and open communication. We don’t let ego get in the way, which is crucial. When things get heated, I sometimes give Hicham space. It helps us cool down and come back with clearer heads!
**Interviewer:** You’ve made it sound easy! As you reflect on nearly fifteen years together, what would you say is the most rewarding part of your journey?
**Vitaa:** I would say it’s knowing we’ve built a life and a family together while supporting one another’s dreams. When you find the right partner, it’s not about grand gestures of love. It’s about respecting each other and celebrating our differences as they truly enrich our relationship.
**Interviewer:** Last question, Vitaa! As you prepare for the release of your documentary, “My Name is Charlotte,” why was it important for you to share your story now?
**Vitaa:** I wanted to give our fans an insight into our life, especially the balance between my career and family. Many may see the glam, but there’s a lot more beneath the surface—hard work, collaboration, love, and even the flaws. I hope to inspire others to embrace their unique paths in love and work.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Vitaa! Your insights into love and partnership are truly inspiring.
**Vitaa:** Thank you for having me!
