Éric Antoine and Gennifer Demey have officially announced their relationship, surprising their fans with their public appearance at the premiere of 'Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby' on March 12, 2025, at the Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt, Paris.
Antoine, 48, who became well-known as a finalist on 'La France a un incroyable talent' since 2006, has built a strong career as not only a magician but also as one of M6's prominent television hosts. He has been integral to various popular shows, including 'Lego Masters', 'Les Traîtres', and 'Le Juste Prix'. His latest romance with the 32-year-old Demey seems to complement their careers as both are associated with M6.
Gennifer Demey, popular as M6's weather presenter, first gained notoriety when she was crowned Miss Aquitaine 2015 and later finished fifth runner-up at Miss France 2016. She has also embraced her role as the face of M6’s weather broadcasts, providing viewers with updates since 2023.
The lovebirds made headlines with their affectionate display at the premiere event, where they posed together for photographers, signaling the confirmation of their relationship. Previously, Demey had been linked to Hugo Bérard, with whom she planned to build a future, including marriage and family. Throughout July 2023, she spoke about her commitment to Bérard on 'Buzz TV', hinting at her aspirations for family life.
Éric Antoine, too, has had his share of relationship changes. He publicly confirmed his divorce from Calista Sinclair, his wife since 2008, in May 2023. Antoine described Sinclair as his "ex-wife now" during his candid discussion with Le Figaro TV. The couple shares two sons, Ulysse and Raphaël, born in 2010 and 2013, respectively. Following his separation, Antoine was open about facing loneliness, even confessing on M6's 'La Grande Semaine' earlier this year to having created a Tinder profile, expressing, "I’m very much in love with someone for not very long." It’s now revealed this person is none other than Gennifer Demey.
Their relationship reportedly blossomed during the filming of 'Les Traîtres', where Antoine serves as the host and Demey participated as one of the contestants. It appears this new romance is another fresh chapter for both Antoine and Demey, who share similar experiences balancing professional and personal lives.
During his previous interview, Antoine shared his excitement about the astrological compatibility between himself and the new love interest, stating, "I find it interesting because I’m very much in love with someone for not very long..." This openness has allowed fans of both stars to speculate about the timeline and details of their budding romance.
While Demey continues her dual career as both a weather presenter and osteopath, her burgeoning romance with Antoine draws attention to how personal and professional lives often intersect among television personalities. The newly confirmed couple continues to embrace this connection publicly, just days after making their debut together at the show’s premiere, which runs until March 31, 2025.
Both Antoine and Demey seem to possess not only the talent but also the charisma needed to thrive on M6, and their new relationship may just add another layer to their collective appeal on screens across France. The chemistry between the two presents opportunities for potential collaborations within the channel going forward.
Fans are already rallying around the couple as they witness this unexpected love story blossom on social media platforms, where both stars share glimpses of their lives and projects. The French public has shown great interest, eager to see how this romance progresses alongside their professional endeavors.
It may just be the beginning for Éric Antoine and Gennifer Demey, as they explore not only their romance but potentially new projects together, entwining their creative talents and personal lives under the spotlight of M6.
Only time will tell how their relationship will evolve, but for now, Antoine and Demey are basking in the joy of love, with fans supporting them every step of the way.
