3 amazing facts about Delphine

“L’Amour est dans le Pré” returns this evening on M6: Karine Le Marchand presents a new promotion of farmers determined to meet their soul mate. This year, we will notably discover Delphine, organic arborist but also lesbian. In her portrait video, she says she discovered her homosexuality at 25 by kissing a woman. Yet even after a relationship of twelve years, she had never announced being a lesbian to those around her and presented her partner as her cousin. In 2018, when her father died, it was a revelation: others don’t have to tell her who she is. Delphine therefore comes out to a few relatives.

For Karine Le Marchand, it is a turning point in the casting. She explains in the Figaro that “Love is in the Meadow” must be representative of society and that the program must evolve, or even be a precursor. “Delphine embodies a breakthrough that we are proud of. Our family program sends out huge messages. Little by little, I hope that we will change mentalities”, explains the host. “Love is in the Meadow” has already enabled a gay farmer to find love and marry in June 2021. Presenting an openly lesbian candidate is perhaps even more important.
