He did not leave me for…: Perrine (MAPR) explains the break-up with her ex

First seen in the episode of Monday, March 16, Perrine quickly made a name for herself beyond the images perceived on television. The 43-year-old hairdresser from Montpellier, this new candidate on “Married at First Sight” did not fail to leave a lasting impression since her introduction.

This was due to a particularly striking confession: her ex-husband, father of their two daughters Ambre and Eden, allegedly left everything behind to start a new life in Indonesia after meeting a stripper. “He met her naked on a pole. He left the Saint-Martin rule. He started a new life, he went to Indonesia,” she revealed in front of the cameras, adding that she has been taking on the roles of both father and mother to her children for years.

Social media buzzes, Perrine sets the record straight

Unsurprisingly, these revelations quickly sparked debates on social media, leading to various interpretations. Faced with a story that, in her own words, “took quite creative turns worthy of a Netflix scenario,” Perrine decided to speak out via an Instagram story to set the record straight on Thursday, March 19.

Perrine first clarifies what her divorce was not about: “My ex-husband did not leave me for a stripper overnight as I have read everywhere, and no, I did not leave him while I was still pregnant.”

A new chapter in Gibraltar

According to Perrine, the reality is much more nuanced. The couple divorced amicably, with mutual respect, when their daughter Eden was about a year old, with a shared custody arrangement in place for a few months. It was only later that everything changed: “He met a woman (who was a stripper, but well, rigorously speaking, that’s irrelevant), and he decided to go live in Indonesia and start a new life there. He chose not to be present in our daughters’ lives and to abandon his role as a father.” Perrine has been raising her children alone for over ten years.

Despite this painful past, the hairdresser chose to believe in love again. With a 79% compatibility with Alexandre, a man in his forties selected by the experts of “Married at First Sight,” she said “yes” to him in front of their families gathered in Gibraltar. Her daughters Ambre and Eden, who accompanied her to Paris to choose her wedding dress, were of course present for this special day.
