Sofia Essaïdi, 39, Star Academy finalist and established actress, embraces a new chapter: motherhood, thus enriching her 14-year relationship with dancer Adrien Galo.
2023 is turning out to be an exceptional year for Sofia Essaidi, who is experiencing both professional and personal happiness. The revelation of this talented artist to the French public took place two decades ago, thanks to her remarkable participation in the Star Academy in 2003. At just 19 years old, this young Moroccan has demonstrated her artistic versatility week after week, establishing herself as one of the most talented candidates of her generation, although the final victory was won by Élodie Frégé.
Unfazed by this defeat, Sofia embraced opportunities, breaking the stage in Kamel Ouali’s musical “Cleopatra” and winning the hearts of audiences in various on-screen roles, including in the TV movie “Aïcha” and the captivating series ” The Promise”, where she brilliantly played a tormented police inspector.
Beyond her professional success, Sofia has always valued the importance of stability and happiness in her personal life. For 14 years now, she has been living a beautiful love story with Adrien Galo, a renowned dancer and athlete who has rubbed shoulders with stars like Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. Their meeting on the set of “Cleopatra” marked the beginning of a solid and discreet relationship, sheltered from media tumult.

Discreet love and fulfillment in motherhood
Alongside her companion, Sofia, who celebrated her 39th birthday on August 6, has always followed her favorite mantra: “To live happy, live hidden”. She underlined in her rare confidences about their relationship the importance she attached to preserving their intimacy. “It seemed vital to me all these years to keep us away from the media hustle and bustle. I think I did the right thing because, after all these years, I am still so happy and in love with him,” she confided.
Until recently, the couple had chosen not to have children. However, a change seems to have taken place in their lives. During Stéphane Rolland’s Haute Couture Fall/Winter show at the Opéra Garnier on July 4, Sofia, dressed in a loose iced brown dress, suggested a change in their life as a couple. And it was Gala magazine, in its October 5 edition, which confirmed the happy news. While she is dubbing Victoria Vance in the next cartoon “Super PAW Patrol”, Sofia finds herself facing questions concerning “her baby bump” that she “cannot deny”, while remaining discreet on this new chapter in their lives, leaving fans waiting and respecting their privacy.
Thus, Sofia Essaidi gracefully combines an accomplished career and a fulfilling personal life, entering the chapter of motherhood with happiness and discretion.
