against all odds, Matthew and Alexander of Love is in the meadow (2020) announced their breakup after two years of love and only one year of marriage. “At one point, Alexandre struggled to find his place. I think he needed a quieter, less turbulent life. He wanted to be stable, a more classic life“, had explained the breeder of bulls in the Camargue, specifying to have remained on very good terms with his ex. The news was all the more surprising since the couple had taken steps to become parents and, recently, it was in Colombia that Mathieu flew away to meet a surrogate mother and he decided to continue this project alone.
Unfortunately, not everything goes as planned. This Friday, September 23, Mathieu made sad revelations in story Instagram. His surrogacy finds himself threatened by the genetic disease from which he suffers, Cadasil’s disease. “Surrogacy: emotional lift… Not every day is a good day. So you know that I have this disease, which is a genetic disease. And the clinic there asked me for a blood sample from my parents and me. They’re going to send me kits here. I have to find them, send them back or bring them to Spain. And they mostly asked me for a blood sample from my dad. Except that my dad passed away in September. It is complicated“, he confided.
Mathieu therefore approached specialists to help him deal with the problem as well as possible. “The idea, as there is no longer my dad, is that they, knowing the whole perfect genome of the disease, can communicate between the geneticists of Colombia and the French geneticists on how to spot the diseased gene in future embryos to prevent my child, girl or boy, from being a carrier of the disease“, he detailed. Result: “VSit’s going to take a lot, a lot longer“. The disappointment is then necessarily great for the farmer. “In addition to being an experience that all mums and dads can testify to as an emotional lift. When you have a rare disease, it’s even more complicated. We add the complicated to the complicated“, he regretted.
