Being a public figure is not always easy. An idea confirmed by the host Arthur who, for some time, has been facing a stressful and anxiety-provoking daily life. Of Moroccan origin and Jewish faith, Mareva Galanter’s husband has become, since October 7, a representative of the Jewish community. A label that he did not choose and which forces him to make some concessions, particularly for his safety and that of his family.
In the columns of ParisianArthur spoke on May 26 about this new, unconventional way of life. Indeed, for his peace and that of his children, the producer had to surround himself with close protection. Constantly surrounded by bodyguards, Estelle Lefébure’s ex-companion now feels threatened.
“I am constantly accompanied“: Arthur forced to live under close protection
During an interview given to our colleagues from ParisianArthur dropped the mask. If the host has accustomed his audience to a constant smile and cutting humor, it is a completely different side that he revealed this time. And for good reason: today he is obliged to call on security to protect himself. “I am accompanied at all times by four peopleeven at home, at night… There is one who must be behind, in the corridor.”
An unconventional situation which turned his way of life upside down. “Having a drink with a friend must be planned, in a previously identified location”, explains the host of Friday, anything goes with Arthur. A grueling routine that inevitably upsets his children. For Aaron – from his previous relationship with Danish model Caroline Nielsen – and Manava, fruit of his relationship with Mareva Galanter, everything seems to be going well. “We had to explain it to them. With my little one, we invented games, it’s funny,” assures Arthur before adding with a touch of humor: “Rest assured, they do the same stupid things as the others.” In short, a family like no other which the host takes care of as best he can.
Arthur’s sweet words to his wife, Mareva Galanter
After saying yes on August 3, 2017, the former host of TV kids and the former beauty queen elected Miss France 1999, welcomed a little girl, Manava, in 2015. In the columns of GalaArthur recently expressed all his admiration for his wife. “If there’s a heroine in all this, it’s my wife“, confirms the host with emotion.
“She kept the whole family at arm’s length for two and a half years.” Deeply marked by the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023 after supervising the editing “a documentary on the Nova festival and another on raped women”, at the time of the facts, as he explained it to Parisianhe was branded by these images. During this painful period, Arthur was able to count on the support of his wife Mareva Galanter who, for almost ten years, became his pillar.
