Kad Merad: At 20, his stepson Luigi, whose mother is Julia Vignali, launched into music

Nothing seems to be able to stop Luigi. At only 20 years old, Kad Merad’s stepson is already charting his own path in an artistic universe very different from that of his famous family. The young man, born from the relationship between Julia Vignali and the screenwriter Julien, today seems determined to make music much more than a simple passion.

Remember that Julia Vignali has shared Kad Merad’s life since 2016, the year their relationship was made official. Before their union, each had already started their family: the actor is the father of Kalil, born in 2004 from his relationship with Emmanuelle Cosso, while the host is the happy mother of Luigi, born in 2006. And if the young man grew up far from the spotlight, he is now starting to attract attention thanks to to his musical creations.

On Instagram, Luigi has been revealing his artistic universe for several months. Guitar in hand, glasses on his nose and discreet silhouette, the young musician shares pieces with electro and melancholic sounds which are attracting more and more Internet users. In July 2025, he revealed the title Rush Hourbefore releasing a few months later, on November 14, 2025, Almosta piece particularly noted by its subscribers.

A passion that has lasted for several years

There is no question for Luigi of following in his mother’s footsteps on television. His field of expression is music. And he already seems very comfortable in this universe. On certain publications, he swaps the guitar for the piano, confirming a true artistic sensitivity and a natural ease with the instruments. There is no shortage of support around him. Julia Vignali regularly likes her son’s publications, just like Kad Merad, very present behind the scenes. The young artist’s Instagram account is also followed by several personalities such as Isabelle Vitari, Damien Thévenot and Caroline Margeridon.

This passion is not new. From September 2023, Julia Vignali confided in the columns of Gala that his son “plays guitar with his band”. The host then added: “His passion is music and he wants to make it his career.” A vocation which, three years later, seems more affirmed than ever. With his first compositions already noticed and a universe that is beginning to take shape, Luigi is moving forward at his own pace, far from the media tumult.

One thing is certain: in the blended family of Kad Merad and Julia Vignali, the artistic succession already seems assured.
