It was in 2002 that Karine Le Marchand’s life was changed forever. To her delight, the gorgeous brunette gave birth to her first and only child. In November of this year, she welcomed an adorable little girl. The latter inherited a sweet first name with a very special meaning for her parents. With our colleagues from magic momthe host of Love is in the meadow makes up its mind about this choice.

The first name Sixtine in particular because I loved visiting the Sistine Chapel when I was pregnant (without queuing, thank you pregnancy!). I found her beautiful, it was a real emotional shock for me“, explains Karine Le Marchand.
If she willingly pours out on her daughter and the choice of her first name, Stéphane Plaza’s sidekick only very rarely mentions his ex, Alya’s father. In October 2020, with TV Cable Satshe had mentioned the break-up, revealing that her celebrity was not there for nothing…
