French chef Claude Troisgros and Brazilian psychologist Clarisse Sette announced their separation last Monday (31st), ending a 20-year relationship. The couple tried to summarize their history in a few words: "It's 20 years, four children, four grandchildren, four dogs. How do you say it didn't work out?" The announcement was made by the couple themselves, who tried to demonstrate that the relationship went beyond a conventional marriage.
Over two decades together, the chef and the psychologist formed a family that brought together children from previous relationships, grandchildren, and pets. The four children mentioned came from the couple's previous relationships: Claude is the father of Thomas and Carolina Troisgros, while Clarisse is the mother of Julia and Bento. During the years of living together, the four became part of the same family unit.
The family built by the couple was described as surrounded by great affection, with members from both sides uniting over the years. The former couple tried to convey a positive message about the time they spent together, even with the end of the relationship. The separation was presented as something that did not mean a failure, considering all the time and the family they built together.
