Jesta Hillmann and Benoît Assadi have been a united couple for almost six years. The two former candidates first met on the set of Koh-Lanta, the treasure island in 2016 (a season won by Benoît and in which Jesta was a finalist). Despite the show’s unromantic conditions, each had spotted the other. “When I saw him, I thought he was handsome, he’s tall, dark, cute… But it’s really when we finished the posts that I found him even more interesting.“, had told Jesta during a live with Denis Brogniart in 2020.
And at the end of the adventure, things came to fruition. Benoît, who was in a relationship, had taken the time to break up with his girlfriend before officially getting together with Jesta. They then quickly moved in together in Toulouse and got married on June 1, 2019 when the young woman was pregnant with their first child. Their son Juliann was born on July 15, 2019 and their family grew in February 2021, with the birth of his little brother Adriann.
They wanted to pay tribute precisely to their children deciding to get a tattoo! “First joint tattoo“, confided Jesta Hillmann under a photo highlighting her forearm and that of her husband, where are written: “9:40 p.m.” and “11:36 a.m.” (See our slideshow).
The 30-year-old went on to explain the significance of these schedules: “Of course, you guessed it! Birth times of our boys.“
