After a long absence, Jade Lagardère finally breaks his silence in an intimate and painful battle.

A fierce struggle that brought her to the brink, but which today gives her a new mission: to raise awareness.
“A year ago I disappeared”: Jade Lagardere was taken into custody three times, she finally spoke about her condition
Model, comic book writer and mother of three children. Exit from Lagardère shares her life with businessman Arnaud Lagardère, with whom she had three children: Liva, Mila and Nolan. For several years the Belgian has occasionally mentioned her battle with endometriosis. But on Thursday, July 2, she decided to speak fully about her illness, which has disrupted her daily life. In a long message posted on Instagram, she recalls almost twenty years of pain, medical wanderings and suffering, even to the point of putting her life in danger..
For months, Jade Lagardère has kept a low profile on social media. “A year ago I disappeared“, she writes immediately. She explains that she waited a long time before speaking, hoping that she could return as soon as she was cured. But that moment never came: “I wanted to wait until I felt better. Come back when all this is finally behind you. But this healing did not happen as I had hoped.The mother says that she lived almost twenty years withthe pain we minimized“: abdominal cramps, digestive disorders, fatigue, migraines, bleeding periods, chronic anemia or even lung problems.. She was diagnosed with endometriosis several years ago and says she was never informed of the severity of the disease. “‘Yes, endometriosis is not very serious.” “A lot of women have them and they live very well with them.” “This cannot in any way be the cause of your pain.”“After hearing these comments, she explains that she ended up doubting herself.”I thought I needed to look elsewhere for the cause of my seizures.“, she blurted out as the diagnoses followed one after another: “‘This is burnout.” “You have digestive problems.” (…)’You have nothing. Sorry. Go home.'”
Jade Lagardere wants to raise awareness among women about endometriosis
Last year everything changed. After “three emergency hospitalizations in a few months“, his health suddenly deteriorated. Jade Lagardère reminds:pain that became almost unbearable. Dangerous bleeding. Miscarriages. Ectopic pregnancy while taking contraception. A formation measuring 10 cm inside the uterus.“. The professor then told him that these complications were caused by endometriosis and adenomyosis.”This time my life is in danger“, she announces. After months of struggle, she had a hysterectomy at just 35 years old.. And since then? “Six months later I am still recovering. Still suffering (…). Because yes, it is a disease. A real disease. Serious illness“, adds Jade Lagardere. This experience echoes what she had already admitted in 2025, after several hospitalizations and many years of diagnostic wanderings. She then explained that she had finally discovered that she also suffers fromadenomyosis, an inflammatory disease of the uterus that is rarer and often more painful than endometriosis..
Today Jade Lagardère wants to turn this test into a fight: “I’ll get back to you with more details because today I feel responsible for the mission: to spread the word about this disease so that no woman has to see her suffering minimized, as it was for me for many years.” Already in 2025, she explained that she decided to testify so that women experiencing the same symptoms would no longer feel alone. Despite the difficult surgeries and recovery that is still ongoing, she can count on the support of her family, and in particular her three children, whom she called her biggest strength through this ordeal. Her testimony once again highlights a disease that is still too often underestimated, even though it has a lasting impact on the lives of many women.
