“Actually,” Secret Story host reveals how he really met his husband

Christophe Beaugrand has become one of the emblematic presenters of TF1. We were able to see him in shows such as Ninja Warrior Or The big blooper. From April 23, he can be found at the presentation of Secret Story, which returns years after the last season. Besides his work, the host lives a lovely love story with his companion, the journalist Ghislain Gerin. The couple who met in 2011, said “yes” on July 25, 2018.

But that’s not all: the two men decided to become dads and to do this, they resorted to surrogacy (GPA). They went to Nevada in the United States where surrogacy is authorized and their child, named Valentin was born on November 9, 2019. “It’s a long procedure which has a cost, we must not be afraid to talk about money [plus de 100 000 euros, ndlr] but it’s also a beautiful love story”, Christophe Beaugrand told Ciné Télé Revue in 2021. But how did the host meet the father of his child?

Christophe Beaugrand’s revelations about his meeting with Ghislain Gerin

In October 2021, Christophe spoke about his relationship with his husband on the set of It starts today on France 2 with Faustine Bollaert. “We met at a friends house common but it was not made to last. We got to know each other little by little. We got to know each other a little later.” he confided.

But, that wasn’t really what happened. The host made new revelations in the columns of Paris Match this Thursday, April 18. “We have long claimed that it was with mutual friends, but in reality, it was on an app. Ten years ago, it hadn’t yet become common practice, so it was more difficult to admit.”he confided before adding: “He was 21, I was 33, so I asked myself questions. Then I realized that he was older than me in his references…”

Christophe Beaugrand’s confidences on his age difference with his husband

Ghislain Gerin is 12 years younger than Christophe Beaugrand. At first, this bothered the host a little. “At the beginning of our relationship, like we have twelve years difference, I was a little uncomfortable.”he explained on LCI, adding: “He was 21, but I immediately understood that I wanted to go further with him. I was still afraid that there would be a gap and that we wouldn’t have the same references or the same desires”.

But this embarrassment did not last long and the presenter of Secret Story confided: “Looking back, I realize he was more mature than me. And this is still the case today.”. He further stated : “He helped me to be myself”. So, love has no age!
