In 2011, Amélie Neten became Hugo’s mother a year after her appearance in “Secret Story”. Very modest, she never wanted to reveal the identity of her father. But some Internet users now think they have guessed that it was a former reality TV candidate.
In 2010, Amélie Neten was revealed to the general public by participating in Secret Story. She had met Senna there with whom she had an eventful relationship that had become emblematic. But it was a little over a year after leaving the game that the life of the bubbly Belgian was really turned upside down, when she welcomed her son Hugo in December 2011. But since her birth, Amélie Neten has made sure to keep the mystery around the identity of the dad.
Very curious Internet users can only express suspicions and, lately, some have estimated that it could be Benjamin Machet, a former reality TV candidate whom she had been close to at the time. And for good reason, the young Hugo looks a lot like him. Same blonde hair and same blue eyes… The question could arise if he hadn’t been making perfect love with his wife Sarah for many years. With her, Benjamin even had two children: Tao born in 2015 and Damian born in 2017.
Don’t be fooled
Sarah just got wind of the rumors claiming that her man was the father of Amélie Neten’s son and, in story Instagram, she wanted to end it once and for all. “I was sent this article: Amélie who gets annoyed at being asked who the father of her son is. I understand her, it’s her life. Why don’t you respect his choice? Then, his little angel looks a lot like Ben, it’s true. But, sorry to disappoint you, the father is not him. You’ve known Ben as a dad for years anyway and you’ve seen what kind of father he is. He would never live far from his son. Don’t be fooled. She just has a beautiful blonde baby boy with light eyes.“, she said.
He was not ready to assume this paternity
For her part, Amélie Neten has provided only very limited information on Hugo’s dad. It was in 2017, in his autobiography book Why so much hate? “We were young, we flirted, we had fun. From bird of passage, he became my stork“, she said. But when she became pregnant, “he was not ready to assume this paternity“. “I explained to him that I wanted this baby and, even if he did not want it, he was very correct with me“, she continued.
She added that, this man “does not belong in reality TV or the TV world“. “He’s a discreet person and I don’t want to expose him“Her son Hugo is nevertheless still in contact with his dad. Amélie Neten has also rebuilt her life with former Belgian footballer Philippe Léonard since 2015.
