Something has changed. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of female celebrities who give birth to a child well after the age of 40. Virginie Efira, mother of little Hito, hit the headlines by falling pregnant at the age of 46. Caroline Ithurbide gave birth to her daughter, Georgia, at the age of 45. Stéphanie Loire, ex of Camille Combal, recently welcomed her first child, a little boy named Diego. Actress Noémie De Lattre, 48, will soon give birth to her second baby. This Monday, June 15, Élodie Gossuin published a post on Instagram in which she revealed a pretty little round belly molded in a red dress. L’épouse de Bertrand Lacherie a immédiatement anticipé the inevitable questions that would follow the intriguing cliché. “Are you expecting twins again?” she said in the caption of her photograph. A question that could have been asked, since the former protégé of Geneviève de Fontenay has long been tempted (unlike her husband) to expand their beautiful family…
“Tell me if you too are swelling like a breath”
But very quickly, the former beauty queen dispelled the doubts that were sure to flourish in her community. The mother of two pairs of twins, Rose and Jules, 18, and Joséphine and Léonard, 12, said “Spoiler: they are triplets : Triple chocolate. Triple cheese. Triple breakfast tomorrow. Lively & epicurean, proud. And to conclude: “Tell me in the comments if you too are puffing up like a blast” . She added the very telling hashtags “Hormones brothel”, “Summerbody” and “Menopause”.
The publication was a great success among its admirers, attracting a thousand comments: “THANK YOU for this authenticity…”, “Thank you for showing us what most of us try to hide and which is neither more nor less the normality of a woman’s body”, “For all those who are self-conscious about the belly, thank you!!!”, “I really find you very simple…nature painting as they say and that, I agree 200%”, “Same thing, I’m pregnant every weekend, twins in the summer, triplets in the winter” could we read in particular under his post.
A new stage in the life of Élodie Gossuin
Last April, the former beauty queen spoke about what she considers to be one of the great taboos of femininity: menopause. She explained that she was now “totally menopausal” and having felt his first signs of perimenopause from the age of 42, a pivotal period which leads to “the cessation of ovulation and the disappearance of periods”. In his testimony given to the media Lou She especially insisted on what she would have liked to know sooner about these symptoms generally ignored by women: decreased libido, mood swings, permanent mental fog, but also the changes in the body and the impact of menopause on health. The mother also deplored the persistent clichés surrounding this stage of life seen as nothing more and nothing less that the “fin de la féminité et de la sensualité”. A vision that she considered reductive and heavy. According to Bertrand Lacherie’s wife, the main problem remained that “silence breeds embarrassment” even though “half of humanity” is concerned. This speech in front of the mirror is therefore not simply a way of putting an end to pregnancy rumors, but a way of showing that she is committed to this new stage of her life, with humor and above all without complexes!
