They didn't let go. Invited on the set of the show "Quelle époque!" Saturday, October 14 on France 2, Estelle Denis had to elbow her to get rid of the many intrusive questions that were addressed to her about her private life. The sports journalist, who formalized her separation from former France football team coach Raymond Domenech in 2020, appeared last December with skipper Marc Thiercelin at the premiere of the film My Heroine. This new romance aroused great curiosity among the guests and journalists present on the set on Saturday night.

"Her ex is football, and her current one is sailing," Léa Salamé introduced the game from the outset. "That's it," Estelle Denis soberly confirmed. But that wasn't enough for Christophe Dechavanne who was adamant to find out more by following up with his neighbour, who then took the opportunity to make a little clarification: "Listen, we're not here to talk about my private life".
But questioned from all sides, it was then Philippe Lellouche, who was also invited on the set, who teased her: "You can't spend important news like that. What does it do? Who's that?" Very embarrassed, Estelle Denis replied briefly, without revealing the identity of the man who shares her life: "He's a skipper!", and then addressing Léa Salamé: "But, well, damn, isn't there another question?"
Exhilarated by this moment of frank laughter, Christophe Dechavanne wanted to go even further in his questions: "Are you a bit MILF on this one? Is he younger?" To which the 47-year-old journalist felt compelled to reply: "So I'm not very into 'younger' people." Finally, Léa Salamé moved on to another subject.
Now 62 years old, Marc Thiercelin is a well-known skipper in the discipline, having competed in a total of 22 transatlantic races and finished second in the 1996 edition of the Vendée Globe and fourth in 2001.
