Things are finally moving at Miss France! The famous beauty contest, governed for years by a whole bunch of very strict rules, is relaxing a little on several points for its 2022 vintage. It will now be possible, for women in a relationship and for mothers, to try to win the crown. And this decision, it is among others Alexia Laroche-Joubert, president of the company Miss France, who is at the origin.

Allowing mothers to compete on TF1 is something that was close to his heart. And for good reason, very early on, Alexia Laroche-Joubert had to take care of her daughter Solweig alone, while continuing to work.

Alexia Laroche-Joubert is a mother of two children. Solweig, daughter of Yan-Philippe Blanc, and her little sister Isaure, whom the producer had with her former husband Guillaume Multrier.
