Isabelle Desjardins Opens Up About Painful Breakup with Ex-Hockey Star David Desharnais
So, Isabelle Desjardins, who you might know as a former TV host and singer, has finally broken her silence about her breakup with David Desharnais, the ex-player for the Montreal Canadiens. Over the past weekend, she took to Instagram and shared a deeply personal and emotional story about what really went on behind the scenes of their relationship and eventual split.
Isabelle revealed that the relationship was far from perfect—she described feeling trapped and controlled by David. She said he was cheating on her from almost the very beginning, which is heartbreaking because she had left everything behind to follow him. She moved across countries—first to Europe, then to Russia and Switzerland—to support his hockey career, leaving her job, family, friends, and even her music behind. But instead of finding happiness, she ended up feeling completely isolated and lost. She admitted to struggling with dark thoughts and feeling like her spirit was crushed.
What’s even more painful is that while she was trying to hold things together, David was allegedly not just unfaithful but also very controlling and judgmental about everything she did. She said he constantly criticized her choices, even after they had separated. She expressed frustration that he continued to judge her career decisions, who she spends time with, and basically tried to control her life long after the relationship ended.

Isabelle didn’t hold back her feelings about how this all affected her health. She confessed that the emotional pain was so intense it manifested physically—she had pain in her bones and was even prescribed morphine to cope. One particular memory she shared stuck with her forever: she had seen a white dress and mentioned it might be nice for a wedding someday, and David coldly told her to stop thinking about it because that would never happen for her. That moment was especially devastating for her.
She also sent a direct message to David, saying how hurt she was when she told him she was leaving and he showed no reaction—no anger, no emotion at all—which left a deep wound in her heart. Through all this, Isabelle apologized to their children for having “parents that are so messed up,” showing her pain but also her love and concern for them.
Isabelle’s story is raw and honest, giving us a glimpse into the struggles she faced behind closed doors. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the public image of a couple can be very different from the reality. She’s thankful for the support she’s received and hopes her story will resonate with others who might be going through similar struggles.
If anyone watching this feels overwhelmed or struggling, remember there’s help available, and reaching out is a brave and important step.
