Joe Dassin’s sons, orphans, deprived of their parents’ love, were left by legal guardians «alone in 800 m²» with employees

Jonathan and Julien are the sons of Joe Dassin and Christine Delvaux. Unfortunately, they lost their father very early: the eldest was only 2 years old. About fifteen years later, their mother also passed away.

After struggling to overcome the loss of his first child, Joe Dassin found happiness with another woman. His second wife, Christine Delvaux, gave him 2 beautiful boys.

Unfortunately, they have not been able to enjoy life with their parents.

Joe Dassin died on August 20, 1980, at age 41. His wife died 15 years later, on December 5, 1995. Jonathan and Julien are now adults, and their parents can be proud of them.

Discover the current life of Joe Dassin’s children.

After the loss of his first child, Joe Dassin found a smile to finally found a complete family
During his lifetime, Joe Dassin had several love stories. He lived years of happiness with his first wife in the person of Maryse Grimaldi. Together they had a child who was supposed to strengthen the bedrock of their love, but fate decided otherwise.

Joshua was born very mature on September 12, 1973. Unfortunately, his stay on this earth was very brief, since he died only 5 days after his birth.

This deep wound was particularly difficult for the bereaved parents to digest. As the years went by, things went from bad to worse, and they finally divorced amicably on May 5, 1977. A year before, the singer had a life-changing encounter.

While he was in a nightclub, he met a certain Christine Delvaux, who was a student at the time. They lost sight of each other, but their destiny brought them together once again in 1977 at Le Castel.
Determined not to let this second chance pass, the two lovebirds started dating, multiplying the secret encounters.

They married in January 1978, and a year later the couple welcomed their first child, Jonathan. After the loss of his first child, Joe Dassin finally realized his dream of fatherhood. In March 1980, the family grew even more with the birth of their second child, Julien.

Barely fulfilled and happy, Joe Dassin collapsed in front of his children
Joe Dassin lived on cloud nine. Happy as a family, he was also happy professionally. A true icon of French variety, the singer multiplied concerts and performances on all stages of the country. Unfortunately, this strenuous activity took its toll on his health.

In the late 1970s, Joe Dassin’s health had become fragile: he had suffered a heart attack and a stomach ulcer. His addiction to drugs did not help matters.

Aware that this lifestyle was not a good example for his children, Joe Dassin decided to change. Despite his doctor’s recommendations that he needed to rest urgently, Joe Dassin completed a tour that left him particularly exhausted.

In August 1980, he granted himself a fortnight of rest in French Polynesia. On August 20, 1980, while having lunch with his two sons, then aged 2 years and 6 months, he collapsed before their eyes.

Victim of a heart attack, the singer did not get up despite the cardiac massage performed by a doctor at the scene of the tragedy.

Just before collapsing, he reportedly said these words around 12:30 p.m.:

“But what is happening to me? «.

This is how the interpreter of the tube «Les Champs-Élysées», left this world suddenly and unexpectedly.

Become orphans, they were left alone in a huge house – The workers of the house taught them a lot
Joe Dassin’s sons became orphans very early: Jonathan was only 2 years old while Julien was 6 months old.

They grew up with their mother and the staff of their house. Unfortunately, Christine Delvaux is also dead. On December 5, 1995, she died of an asthma attack at the age of 46.

The two children therefore found themselves left to fend for themselves. But how did they deal with the death of their parents, especially that of their father?

Years later, Jonathan answered this question in the columns of Gala magazine:

“My little brother and I stayed in our big house in Feucherolles. Of course we had legal guardians, but they didn’t live nearby. It was a bit strange. We were alone in 800 m² with the Yugoslav couple who worked for my mother before her death”.

Their parents were no longer around to mentor them, give them love and give them advice. Fortunately, they were able to count on the employees of their house, who were kind to them. They did not replace Jonathan and Julien’s parents, but they advised them and taught them many things in life.

The current life of Joe Dassin’s sons, who never forget their parents and Joe’s legacy
What happened to Joe Dassin’s sons? Jonathan and Julien Dassin are now adults. Aged 42 and 43 respectively, the children of Joe Dassin and Christine Delvaux have come a long way. In 2020, they paid tribute to their famous father by releasing a book in his honor.

In an interview with Parisian in August 2020, Julien Dassin said to himself: «incredibly proud, touched and amazed by the public’s enthusiasm for Joe, forty years later».

They each followed a high-level professional career. The eldest son, Jonathan, followed in their father’s footsteps. Having become a singer-songwriter, Jonathan began his career with the title ¨Le Désert¨. In 2013, he continued with the title ¨My neighbor.¨

For his part, Julien also works in the artistic world, and more specifically on the theatrical level. After completing his business studies, he took up the direction of comedy.

In 2010, he took his first steps on stage at the Théâtre Daunou (Paris). His show ¨100% Dassin¨ is a great success, and he has performed it in several theaters around the world.
