Mory Sacko is a fully accomplished man. The 33-year-old chef, known for his inventive approach blending African, Japanese, and French influences, is successful in all aspects of his life. Particularly trained by Thierry Marx, he became known to the general public by participating in the Top Chef show in 2020, where his unique style impressed both the jury and the viewers. He then opened his restaurant MoSuke in Paris, which quickly earned a Michelin star, confirming his talent and boldness. In his private life, Mory Sacko has been sharing his life with Émilie Rouquette for many years.
Their relationship, built over more than a decade, also includes a close professional collaboration: a graduate in finance, she plays a key role in managing and organizing his restaurant, taking care of administrative and strategic aspects. The chef often emphasizes the importance of this balance between them, describing a complementary duo where she structures and leads while he focuses on culinary creation. In 2023, their life together took a new turn with the birth of their daughter, Ambre, further strengthening this personal and professional duo. And the couple is about to experience another happy event…
What is the gender of the second child expected by Mory Sacko?
Mory Sacko recently gave an interview to Nora Hamzawi on the podcast “En apparence.” On the show, the Michelin-starred chef announced that he is going to be a father for the second time. “I have a little girl who is two years old, and my wife is pregnant with the second one. A little boy,” he simply declared, happier than ever. While waiting to welcome Ambre’s little brother, Mory Sacko and his partner Emilie must adapt to the intense rhythm imposed by their life as young parents, with their daughter still being young and subject to frequent nighttime wake-ups.

Their daughter, Ambre, still struggles to sleep through the night, forcing the couple to handle frequent and sometimes exhausting wake-ups. Very present in this daily life, the chef recognizes the essential role played by his partner in the early months, especially when she was solely managing the nights associated with breastfeeding. “There’s something ungrateful about motherhood, which is that my wife did all the nights at the beginning because she breastfed until the child was weaned, and afterward, it’s been me every night for eight months,” he emphasized.
Today, the difficulties are more related to the girl’s own sleep. “She wakes up every night. It’s just that she doesn’t sleep in her bed, so we have to take her. She wants to come to our bed, so it’s a war,” he confessed, unfiltered. Between his shining professional success and intense family life, Mory Sacko seems to be moving forward today with the same energy in the kitchen as at home, driven by a demanding yet solidly built balance.
