On the occasion of the release of his new album – January 20, 2023 – which pays tribute to one of his idols, Edith Piafand soberly titled Chimene sings Piaf, the one who came out of anonymity thanks to the show Popstars confides in our colleagues from Closer. The singer talks about her career and in particular her decision to record an album with covers of Edith Piaf, but Chimène Badi also returned to much more personal aspects of her life. Indeed at just over 40 years old, the artist has no children and explained his choice, which was made “not out of a sense of incapacity, rather out of a sense of responsibility“. However, that does not prevent her from living in a fulfilled family in which she has a place that fully satisfies her.
“My maternal instinct means that I take care of my nephews a lot and that would move mountains for them.“. However, Chimène Badi has awareness of one’s limitations, a rare strength that encouraged her to think carefully about this decision. To Closer, she continues: “But I’m just beginning to feel solid. Too anxious, I wouldn’t have known how to give arms to a child, teach him to become independent and carefree”. This choice also allowed him to devote himself to another pillar in his life, his love for music. “I found meaning elsewhere than in motherhood. It is an immense pleasure to pursue my career, to publicize important causes, but also to leave the light to spend time with my loved ones…”.
