During an interview with Paris Match to promote his album AMOUR, Calogero confirmed his breakup with the mother of his last two children, the lyricist Marie Bastide who had written some of his most beautiful texts.

Love can last forever, like my parents, but it can last two years. One thing is certain about me when I have loved once, I love for life. There is real magic when we work together”
"His four toddlers will remain far from the goal and the woman who shared his life has left” confirms Paris Match in the header of an interview published this week, indirectly citing the two children born from his first union with Hortense d'Estève (Nina et Romy), and those which are the fruit of his relationship with Marie Bastide (Pious et Rita).
