On March 10, 2025, Isabelle Morini-Bosc, the well-known chroniqueuse from the television show Touche Pas à Mon Poste!, shared the heartbreaking news of her husband Alain Morini's passing. Alain died on March 7, 2025, after a long battle with leukemia, and Isabelle took to social media to express her sorrow.
"Il devait être le copain d'une nuit, il a été l'homme de ma vie. Mon homme. Alain est parti vendredi, il aimait Dieu, les nôtres, la vie, ses amis, les miens aussi, je vais désormais les aimer pour nous deux," she wrote on her Instagram account, accompanied by poignant pictures of the couple.
Isabelle, 68, had been absent from her television duties for extended periods over the last few years to care for Alain, who had been suffering from leukemia since 2019. Earlier, she had often expressed the struggles they faced together: "Il le vit courageusement, j’essaie de le vivre le plus courageusement possible avec lui. Je vais le voir à l’hôpital," she had stated, highlighting the emotional toll the illness took on both of them.
The couple had been married since 1978, marking nearly five decades of companionship filled with love and challenges. They shared one son, Guillaume, who is now 34 years old. During their time together, Alain, who was originally trained as a chemical engineer, supported Isabelle’s career ambitions, often accompanying her to her engagements.
Fans and colleagues rallied around Isabelle following her announcement, with numerous well-known personalities expressing their condolences. Cyril Hanouna, the host of TPMP, along with many others, provided support during this trying time.
Isabelle frequently shared insights about her husband’s health challenges on various platforms. She had revealed back in May 2023 the extent of Alain's illness, saying, "Depuis quatre ans, les soucis ont commencé de façon larvée et depuis un an et demi, de façon beaucoup plus dure." This signified the gradual decline of Alain's health which culminated in his lengthy hospital visits.
His condition not only strained their daily lives but also saw Isabelle stepping back from her role on television to be by his side. She noted how they managed this tough situation side by side, often asserting her commitment to remain resilient for Alain: “Il le vit courageusement, j’essaie de le vivre le plus courageusement possible avec lui.”
Alain’s decline often involved hospitalizations during which Isabelle reflected on the irony of managing her husband's complex health conditions. She also mentioned the challenges they faced during treatment, including difficulties with medications and the physical toll his conditions took on him.
Despite these hardships, Isabelle expressed gratitude for the moments of joy they experienced together. "Et merci à TPMP de nous avoir offert notre 'famille en or' où, avec Cyril, nous avions tant ri," she acknowledged, reflecting on the connections they formed through the show, which offered them both laughter and support.
The couple's love story, characterized by laughter and resilience, has left an enduring impact on those who followed their careers and personal lives. Alain's battle with leukemia was not just his fight, but also one shared by Isabelle, who stood by him throughout, demonstrating unwavering strength.
This farewell marks not only the end of Alain Morini's life but the closure of an era for Isabelle, who now faces the poignant challenge of moving forward without him. Their shared dreams and the plans they envisioned will remain cherished memories as she navigates through her grief.
Those who knew Isabelle and Alain recognize the deep love they shared, and as supporters rally around her, it serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the strength found in companionship.
