More than a year after her victory in Star Academy 2024, everything is going well for Marine. After a first successful album, “Cœur maladroit” – which reached over 100,000 copies sold in January 2026 – and her baptism of fire at the Enfoirés concert, the 25-year-old artist excels in every way. While her professional life is in full swing, her love life is just as flourishing.
Following exclusive revelations by Voici magazine about her relationship with 33-year-old guitarist Jeoffrey Dandy, whom she met at the Dammarie-les-Lys castle, Marine has finally unveiled her tender relationship. Invited by Thomas Isle to the Europe 1 studios to promote the reissue of her album, the interpreter of “Ma faute” breaks the silence on her new love.
“Je le suis“: Marine, in love and happy
After presenting her latest song, “Escroc,” talking about her doubts and a certain imposter syndrome, Thomas Isle asked the famous question, highlighted by Télé-Loisirs colleagues: “Can I ask you a slightly indiscreet question?” To this, the Star Academy 2024 winner responds with a brief, “Yes.”
“Are you in love right now?” added the host. After a laugh from Marine, the presenter Anissa Haddadi in the studio chimes in: “No, but he didn’t ask who it’s with. It’s a bit indiscreet.” After these exchanges, Marine eventually confesses: “Je le suis, oui.” Accustomed to a certain modesty, the artist seems ready to reveal her private life.
“Tais-toi et dis merci“: Marine’s battle against her imposter syndrome
Beyond her fulfilling love life, Marine also opened up about her doubts, especially about her imposter syndrome. “You write: ‘I don’t know how to say thank you when someone tells me I’m pretty’,” explains Thomas Isle before confirming, “I find you more and more beautiful, Marine”. After a sincere “Thank you” from the artist followed by laughter, she continues: “It happened to me a lot, especially when I was in a relationship. Often the person gives me compliments but I don’t take them well.” It remains to be seen if she can accept the kind words from her lover.
The singer adds: “It’s something Marlène (Marlène Schaff editor’s note) told me at the castle, that I struggled with receiving compliments. When someone said something to me, I would respond, ‘Oh really? Are you sure?’ Sometimes just be quiet, say thank you, and move on. Now I can do it more and more. But if I say no, it’s false modesty, and if I say yes, it’s arrogance.” Still plagued by doubts, Marine shares her thoughts in the reissue of her album, accompanied by seven unreleased tracks.
