He has two older sisters, Sarah and Alexandra. He suffered a life-threatening illness at the age of 11 months, which led to the removal of one kidney.〔 Joubert has been considered a heartthrob in his native country, France.〔〔 This reputation has been contributed by media appearances after his first victory at the 2004 European Championships and silver medal at the World Championships〔 and short relationship with former Miss France, Lætitia Bléger.〔〔 He later brought a lawsuit against Bléger for 40,000 Euros for insinuating that he was homosexual and that their relationship was arranged to hide this.〔 Bléger and two magazines that published her allegations were ordered by a French court to pay a total of 17,000 Euros, and to publish the court ruling in one of the two magazines.〔 Joubert was later involved with Italian figure skater Valentina Marchei but the relationship ended by 2009.〔 Joubert owns two dogs and six snakes.〔 He has also raised tropical fish, occasionally seen in television reports about his home life.〔 He is known as a motorcycle and car racing enthusiast.〔〔〔 In March 2006, Joubert published his biography, ''Brian Joubert: le Feu sur la Glace'' (Brian Joubert: the fire on ice), in French.〔 A second book about him, entitled ''Brian Joubert sur papier glacé'' (Brian Joubert on paper ice), was published in February 2010. Joubert is studying for a coaching diploma and intends to work as a coach after the end of his competitive career.〔〔 As part of his degree requirement, he decided to begin coaching in summer 2013 in Vaujany;〔 however, due to travel problems he was unable to do so.〔(Where's Joubert?
