In Large families, life in XXL, Amandine Pellissard is unquestionably one of the stars. At the head of a tribe of eight children, she enjoys sharing her inevitably very hectic daily life, both in front of the cameras of TF1 but also on her social networks. And from her community, she doesn’t want to hide anything, even the darkest times. In July 2021, Alexandre’s wife revealed, for example, that she suffered a miscarriage while she was expecting her ninth child.
A drama which was unfortunately not a first for Amandine Pellissard. Indeed, during an interview for TV Starshe said she lost several babies during pregnancyincluding an “Not long ago“.”But I didn’t talk about it. I mentioned it briefly and despite everything I remain positive. I tell myself that if the ninth child doesn’t arrive right away, it’s not for nothing. We want it very badly but I don’t torture my mind anymore“, she explained. Amandine Pellissard nevertheless continues to hope that her ultimate dream will come true: that of having twins. A way for her to repair the past. “I had two twin pregnancies : Octave had a twin. That’s why I found out very late, I was 4 months old. He did not survive. I had a miscarriage which I took for a return. And the miscarriage I had after our marriage two years ago was also twinsshe reported. A year ago it was a normal miscarriage at 14 weeks and the third I don’t think. I hadn’t even done an ultrasound.”
The candidate tries as best as she can to remain optimistic about a possible expansion of her clan, but she recognizes that the more time passes, the more difficult it is for her to wipe out the failures. “If we are to have a ninth child, it will happen when my body is ready to welcome it. We strongly desire it with Alexandre but I don’t talk about it because I entered a sphere where it was starting to make me unhappy. My husband was upset and touched to see me not well, to have miscarriages… The problem is that when we talk about it all day, the brain thinks about it. I tried to protect myself“, she added to justify her reservation on the subject. And now, she leaves room for fate: “We no longer do ovulation tests, cycle calculations… I want to have a ninth child under the same conditions as the others.“That’s all we want for him!
