Mathieu Ceschin, known to audiences from the French reality television show L’amour est dans le pré (Love is in the Meadow), experienced a frightening ordeal this week when his young son, Ezio, suffered a fall requiring a trip to the emergency room. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, prompted Ceschin to share a candid update with his followers on Instagram, highlighting the swift response of emergency services and the emotional weight of such events for parents.
Ceschin, 50, has embraced fatherhood in recent years, becoming a parent through gestational surrogacy in Colombia. He has openly discussed the financial and emotional journey of building his family and regularly shares glimpses into his life as a single father. This openness, yet, has also drawn criticism regarding his parenting style, a dynamic he acknowledges and navigates publicly.
A Second Fall, A Quick Response
According to Ceschin’s Instagram post, this was the second fall Ezio experienced in two days, with the most recent incident being more serious. He expressed gratitude for the “professional reflex” of the childcare providers present at the time of the fall. “Today for the second day in a row, my son fell… this time a little more seriously,” Ceschin wrote, sharing images of Ezio’s injuries. He explained his decision to post about the incident, stating, “I made the choice to make this post because we all blame ourselves when something happens to our children. But that’s life and you have to accept it as it comes.”
The post details how firefighters arrived on the scene and transported Ezio to the hospital. Ceschin followed in his car, accompanying his son. He specifically thanked the firefighters of Beaucaire for their rapid response. He also extended his appreciation to the pediatric emergency room staff at Nîmes, praising their kindness and even a small gesture of comfort – offering toys to his son.
