Marlène Schiappa Welcomes Third Child, Shares First Family Outing
A former French minister and novelist, Marlène Schiappa, has welcomed her third child – a son – and recently shared a glimpse into her growing family life with the public. The announcement comes as Schiappa, 42, embraces motherhood once again, balancing her career with the joys of raising three children.
At 42 years old, Marlène Schiappa announced the birth of her son on October 28th via Instagram. Previously, the former Minister of Citizenship, known for her appearance on the M6 reality show Traitors, had kept the baby’s sex private during her pregnancy. She joyfully revealed the news with a heartfelt message accompanying a photo of her hand resting on her newborn son: “Our son was born. What an immense happiness to come home with him and so much love.”
Following a period of discretion to recover and adjust to motherhood, Schiappa ventured out for her first public outing with her baby and husband, Matthias, on November 3rd. She documented the occasion with an Instagram story, capturing a mirror selfie in an elevator with her stroller and husband by her side. With a touch of humor, she captioned the photo: “Our first outing. On the way to do something crazy! (No, actually we’re going to the pediatrician).”

Schiappa is also mother to two daughters, born in 2006 and 2012 from a previous relationship. A recent carousel of photos shared on social media offered a touching glimpse of her three children together. The image depicts her two daughters seated on a maternity bed, lovingly cradling their newborn brother. “My three prides together,” she wrote, expressing her joy. She also extended gratitude to the healthcare professionals who supported her family, acknowledging “all the doctors, caregivers, midwives, childcare workers, childcare assistants, cleaning and catering staff… who took care of us and who take care of mothers, babies, young fathers and families all year round in these very special moments that are births.”
This latest addition to the Schiappa family marks a new chapter for the public figure, as she navigates the challenges and rewards of motherhood alongside her professional endeavors. The outpouring of support from fans and colleagues alike underscores the universal joy surrounding the arrival of a new life.
