As the World Cup starts in less than two weeks, the French will be able to find one of the most popular commentators at work to bring the matches to life on TF1. Alongside his sidekick Bixente Lizarazu, with whom he gets along wonderfully, Gregoire Margotton has been responsible for commentating the matches of the French football team since 2016 and now has several major competitions, including the famous 2018 World Cup, won by Antoine Griezmann’s teammates. A unique voice who is celebrating his 53rd birthday today and if all goes well on the professional side, the native of Lyon is not the most unhappy in his private life.
If he is rather discreet about the person who shares his life, the former Canal + commentator has a blended and large family. From a previous union, he had a boy (21) and a girl (15) and with his current partner, he had three young children. This therefore means that Grégoire Margotton is the proud father of five children! If he did not yet have the social networks for his first children, he did not hesitate to announce the birth of his last two. For his little girl born in October 2017, he split a humorous tweet. “This young Liverpool FC supporter supports Olympique Lyonnais with a raised fist near Goodison Park (the Everton stadium, Liverpool’s historic rival, editor’s note). Logical when you love the Reds (even for 5 minutes)“, he wrote at the time.
Rare shot of a young supporter trying to cross her fingers since she is not boycotting the France team
Grégoire Margotton did it again last year for the birth of her fifth child, and her third daughter, by posting a nice shot of the little one in the maternity ward. “Rare shot of a young supporter trying to cross her fingers since she is not boycotting the France team“, he wrote to announce the good news. If he gives news about the births of his children, the journalist still wants to keep a part of mystery and we still do not know the first names of his children.
