French television personality Eric Antoine has officially confirmed his new relationship with Gennifer Demey, announcing their romance at the premiere of the show Peaky Blinders - The Redemption of Thomas Shelby
on March 12, 2025. Antoine, who has become well-known as both a magician and humorist, has been part of the television circuit for years, acting as a judge on the popular show La France a un incroyable talent since 2015 and hosting several other programs on the M6 network. Just shy of two years post-divorce, he appears to have turned the page and found love once again.
Eric Antoine's personal life has been marked by ups and downs, with his previous marriage to Calista Sinclair ending ambiguously. The couple had been together since 2008 and share two sons: Raphael born in 2010 and Ulysse born in 2013. Their separation was announced publicly in May 2023, leading Antoine through what he described as a lonely period. He even dabbled briefly with dating apps, but eventually ceased using them, stating they weren’t for him.
During his appearance on La Grande Semaine on January 11, 2025, the comedian opened up, saying he was "very in love" without disclosing the identity of his new partner. Now, with the world knowing about his connection to Gennifer Demey, it looks clear he is flourishing.
Demey first came to prominence when she was crowned Miss Aquitaine 2015 and made it to the fifth place of Miss France 2016, the same year Iris Mittenaere won the title. She has since built her career as both a weather presenter for the M6 group and as an osteopath, where she runs her practice out of Bordeaux since obtaining her diploma in 2016. Her media presence also includes participating as one of the contestants on the reality show Les Traîtres aired on M6, where she gained additional recognition.
The couple's official appearance at the premiere not only sealed their romantic status but served as a public affirmation of their new chapter. Photos from the event showcased their dynamic, with Antoine towering at 2.07 meters and Demey at 1.71 meters, which has sparked both intrigue and admiration among fans.
By getting involved with someone from his world, he seems to have found compatibility and support from someone who understands the unique pressures of the entertainment industry. It seems particularly fitting since Eric was shown on La Grande Semaine contemplating their astrological compatibility when the relationship was budding. According to various sources, he previously connected well with Demey, which has now blossomed openly.
Many fans of Antoine have expressed their happiness for him and are eager to see how this new relationship will develop. They fondly recall his past struggles, including overcoming his insecurities about weight, as he candidly shared experiences with "morbidity obesity" amid his ambitions to remain active and engaged with his children.
This fresh start appears necessary for Antoine, who endured significant changes during the pandemic when he was forced to reevaluate his life. Feeling the weight of losing his previous marriage, he described the methods he undertook to regain confidence and stability—except for dating apps, which did not suit him. They weren’t what he wanted to pursue after the end of his marriage, instead taking his time to heal and seek genuine companionship.
Now, as he stands with Demey, the future seems hopeful. The magical transformation of his life continues, surrounded by laughter, love, and potential—just like the enchanting experiences he creates on stage. Time will tell how far this new romance will soar, but for now, Eric Antoine is enjoying every moment at the helm of happiness.
