Cyril Hanouna, the 50-year-old star of French television, is once again making headlines, mixing his professional career transitions with personal life rumors. Recently, the host of the popular show "Touche Pas à Mon Poste" has been in the limelight not just for his role on television but also for rumors surrounding his romantic involvement with Tiphaine Auzière, daughter of Brigitte Macron. As the speculation mounts, so does the interest in Hanouna's financial success and personal life.
On March 25, 2025, Closer reported that Hanouna is rumored to be dating Auzière, a connection that has set social media ablaze. This pairing, seemingly improbable due to their contrasting public personas, was first spotlighted by Paris Match, which published intimate photographs of the two, hinting at a blossoming romance. As the news broke, Hanouna took to Instagram, stating, "It’s been talked about a lot regarding my private life right now. I never discuss it, but soon you will know the full truth." However, this post was quickly deleted, leaving fans wondering about the authenticity of these rumors.
However, amidst all the chatter, Kelly Vedovelli, a regular on Hanouna’s show, is embracing life away from the spotlight. Recently, she enjoyed a rejuvenating weekend in the south of France, relishing the sun and good company while attending a cabaret show in Vallauris Golf-Juan alongside other colleagues like Jean-Michel Maire, Bernard Montiel, and Géraldine Maillet.
Paparazzi snapshots depict Vedovelli smiling and enjoying herself at the event, unperturbed by the swirling rumors linking her boss with Auzière. Reportedly, she declared on social media, "I never talk much, but the situation is escalating... You guys need to do your jobs correctly, friends." This response hints at her frustration regarding public speculation and her intention to distance her personal narratives from those surrounding Hanouna.
Meanwhile, the future of Hanouna’s career is also sparking conversations. Following the closure of Channel C8, where his show aired, he has confirmed plans to join the M6 group soon. On March 24, Hanouna clarified that "Touche Pas à Mon Poste" will end on March 26, much sooner than anticipated, and assured his fans that his departure will allow him to focus on his new projects.
Furthermore, discussed by Purepeople, Hanouna's wealth is another intriguing aspect of his story. Reportedly, his fortune stands at an impressive 85 million euros, which has been amassed through his lucrative career in television and radio. He averages a monthly salary of 40,000 euros from "Touche Pas à Mon Poste," which, despite its controversies, remains a popular program. Just last year, Hanouna generated substantial revenue, reportedly earning 96 million euros.
To diversify his income, Hanouna has ventured into real estate and social causes, owning multiple properties, including a luxurious villa in Cannes. His investments extend into diverse industries such as beauty care and sustainable tourism, showcasing his ambition beyond the television screen.
However, the ongoing personal narratives regarding his alleged relationship with Auzière have not gone unnoticed. During his recent shows, while addressing the departures of his cast and the future of his programming, Hanouna has remained vague about his personal life. This has led to speculation that he might choose to keep it private amidst professional transitions.
In the midst of these unfolding events, Kelly Vedovelli maintains her composure, enjoying her time while the rumors swirl around Hanouna. She has consistently emphasized the importance of living a life outside the public's gaze, stating, "Each person is free in their lives and their stories. My personal life does not just revolve around TPMP or social media."
As for Hanouna, the question about his romantic life remains unanswered, escalating public curiosity even further. With the announcement that his show will conclude within days and his impending shift to M6, all eyes will be on him. Could these rumors be a strategic move to keep the audience engaged as they transition to new programming?
While people will speculate and form narratives, it’s evident that both Vedovelli and Hanouna are keen to enjoy their lives, whether that means embracing the stage or residing in the sunlit beaches of southern France. As the deadline approaches for "Touche Pas à Mon Poste," they both reflect the complexities of maintaining personal happiness amidst public scrutiny.
