So thirty years already that Axelle Red launched into music. The 55-year-old songwriter gave an interview to Release, who took his portrait this Monday, December 18. She returned to the success of her title Sensualityher lawyer’s degree, which she completed before devoting herself entirely to the recording industry, but also to her family life. In a relationship since his law studies with Filip Vanes, who became her manager and her husband in 1998, she is the happy mother of three girls.
Janelle is 24 years oldGloria is 20 and the youngest, Billie, is 18. With them, Axelle is a real “mother hen”, as our colleagues point out. And in fact, her husband explained that she “was the first to rent tour buses to bring the whole family together on tour.” Enough to inspire Vanessa Paradis and Zazie, when they also had children. Residing in a “beautiful farm”, the singer feels like she has “four lives”, namely his own and those of his three daughters. Obviously a little too sticky, she admits that she sometimes “tired”. With the second in the family, “the most rebellious”, the artist often argued. As for his younger daughter, she seems to be his biggest fan. While watching Billie’s Spotify playlist, Axelle Red realized that she was indeed the singer her daughter listened to the most.
Girls sometimes “hard”, but loving above all
This is far from the first time that the famous redhead talks about her fulfilling family life. In the columns of our Belgian colleagues from Ciné Télé Revue, in November 2022, she tenderly indicated that her children “[l]’love and [l]e [lui] say all the time”, while qualifying his remarks: “But as soon as something goes wrong, they don’t miss me. They are very hard on me.” On the couple she forms with their father, who plays an important role in her career, Axelle Red said: “They see us as a whole, a team.”
