Philippe Jonathan, the father of singer Joyce Jonathan, has passed away. The sad news was announced by the family in an obituary published this Friday, in the pages of the newspaper Le Monde.
Joyce Jonathan leads a fulfilling life with her daughter Ghjulia, who will soon be six years old. It was with her charming child that the singer enjoyed a sunny getaway in the Luberon region, where she was able to enjoy nature, play sports in the forest, stroll through the narrow streets, and try rollerblading. This vacation in southeastern France was also an opportunity for Thomas Hollande’s former partner to reconnect with an old acquaintance: Gabriel Attal.
As seen in an Instagram post documenting their getaway to the Luberon, the winner of the Chinese version of Star Academy and the former Prime Minister posed alongside a friend, each holding a glass of wine. A lovely moment of camaraderie between two people who shared a childhood romance during their teenage years.
Joyce Jonathan lost the first man in her life
July ended on a sad note for Joyce Jonathan. The singer of “Je ne sais pas” has just lost her father, Philippe Jonathan. His death notice was published in the August 1st edition of the newspaper Le Monde . It states that his wife Lien, his children Joyce, Victoria, Ulysse, Sarah, and Darius, his first wife Patricia, as well as his grandchildren Tao and Ghjulia, sadly announced his passing on Wednesday, July 29, 2026 .
“A free man, an inspired architect and a connoisseur of China, he enchanted our lives and our spaces,” they also wrote, before concluding their obituary with a quote from William Shakespeare: “We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep . “
Joyce Jonathan will find comfort among her loved ones.
In this difficult time, Joyce Jonathan can count on the love of her family and friends, especially her daughter Ghjulia. A charming little doll born from her relationship with Martial Paoli, from whom she separated almost a year ago. It was on the radio show “Les Grosses Têtes” that the singer officially announced their breakup. While she has come to terms with living alone with her daughter, the close friend of Gabriel Attal long expressed guilt after her separation from her daughter’s father.
“When she was two and a half, we decided to separate. It wasn’t an easy decision. I think all separated parents can understand the guilt one feels in this kind of situation. Suddenly, the family ideal shatters,” she confided to the media outlet Fraîches . Since her separation from musician Martial Paoli, the singer doesn’t seem to have found love again and is fully enjoying her life with her daughter.
