Jessica Thivenin has opened up about the painful split from Thibault Garcia, a breakup she first made public in October. In a recent interview with Grazia, the reality star described how the decision to separate upended her life and how she is slowly rebuilding it.

Polska pregnant and betrayed by a close friend: she is very, very shocked
Jessica told the magazine that the end of the marriage felt like a sudden collapse. She described being flooded with messages, scrutiny, and an abrupt loss of private space. That pressure compounded the emotional toll of the separation.
The weight of public attention and loss of privacy
Being a public figure turned the personal crisis into a spectacle. Jessica explained that hundreds of thousands of comments and opinions followed her everywhere.
- Relentless scrutiny: Social feeds and tabloids dissected every detail.
- Vanishing intimacy: She felt like nothing in her life remained solely hers.
- Emotional exposure: Private grief became public content.
That lack of privacy forced her to confront the emotional fallout under a microscope. Yet she says the visibility also pushed her to make choices she might not have otherwise made.
Practical steps she used to cope and recover
Jessica outlined small, deliberate actions that helped her slowly recover. She emphasized the need to keep moving, even when it felt impossible.
Daily routines that mattered
- Getting out with friends, even when she felt fragile.
- Allowing herself to cry and sit with difficult feelings.
- Accepting that bad days are part of healing.
She recounted moments of abrupt withdrawal, like leaving a meal early to cry alone. Those episodes were part of the process. Over time, she noticed the pain ebbing.
Friends, therapy and emotional support
Jessica credited her recovery to a close circle of friends and practical self-care. She stressed the importance of surrounding yourself with people who listen.
- Friends who stayed by her side through the worst nights.
- Small outings that broke the cycle of isolation.
- Time to grieve, without pressure to “bounce back” too quickly.
She admitted it was okay to be unwell and to need time to process the breakup. That permission, she said, was essential to moving forward.
What the split taught her about independence
The experience forced Jessica to reevaluate her identity. She said she had relied on the relationship in ways that left her vulnerable when it ended.
Independence became a priority. She now aims to rebuild her life on her own terms and not be defined by another person.
Practical changes and new goals she’s adopting
Jessica is taking concrete steps to regain control. She spoke about financial and emotional autonomy as key goals.
- Reclaiming decision-making for daily life.
- Focusing on personal projects and passions.
- Protecting time and space with her children.
These adjustments are part of a long process. She says each small success helps lessen the pain of the breakup.

She remains in the public eye, balancing motherhood and career while working on her emotional recovery. The story is still unfolding, and she continues to share selected moments with fans and the press.
