Handsome blond with caramel-colored eyes, Léonard was born in 2001. Son of Laurent Mariotte, the secrets of his life have always been carefully guarded by his father, anxious to protect him from the often cruel world of the media. Having never revealed information about the mother of his son or the very preserved relationship he has with him, the presenter of the show Small dishes in balance – who turns 53 on October 9, 2022 – had however made an exception to the rule by granting an interview to Tele-Leisure in May 2021.
Confident that the mother of his son was a production manager in the cinema, he revealed to share his passion for cooking and good food with Leonardo. “Yes he likes to learn. We make risottos together, homemade cordons-bleus, lasagna and even endives with ham, now he has mastered béchamel. But he is still of this generation who prefers burgers and kebabs“, he had revealed.
The host also confided in his family life in 2020 to the Sunday newspaper in indicating his little habits after work: “sit down with his son and his wife in front of a good meal while tasting a glass of wine bought at his wine merchant“. To continue the evening, he revealed watching Daily on TMC before putting on a series chosen as a family.
A balanced living environment for the young Léonard who, in addition to his love for good food, also seems to be passionate about graphic design. Work-study student in the Parisian school Unit Picture specialized in computer graphics and visual communication, Léonard obtained a Scientific Baccalaureate at the school The Franks Bourgeois – La Salle (Mention Very Good, he says on his Linkedin page).
On Instagram, the young man regularly shares his graphic creations. Last February, he unveiled his self-portrait in 3D.
