At 41 (birthday he celebrates this Wednesday January 31), Keen’V seems to be a fulfilled man. Since 2008, the singer regularly climbs the French-speaking charts thanks to lightweight tubes such as Horizontally, Just onceor The bright side of life. In the city, he had shared his daily life with the same woman for sixteen years, until they break up, announced last August. If the interpreter of I would love to has always wanted to conceal the identity of his loved one, he has however mentioned several times the many trials they had crossings after so many years spent together.
In an interview given to the magazine Closer in 2021, the Norman had discussed the possibility of his sterility. Because, for a decade, Keen’V and his ex-partner had had unprotected sex which never resulted in pregnancy. Despite everything, the singer refused to submit to tests, for fear of seeing the blame placed on his beloved. “I don’t want her to be the problemhe confided to our colleagues. Let’s imagine that the test reveals that I am not: that would mean that I would not have had a child because of her.” Regardless, Keen’V has ruled on the matter: he does not want and will not have children. Taken by his career, which involves a lot of travel, the singer explained to Tele-Leisure, on June 28, that he was very rarely at home. A prohibitive condition for the Norman, who did not want to be an “intermittent dad”.

“It’s like I had it”
“To be a dad, it takes time, he said. I’m never at home. I don’t want to have a child just because I want to have one. That would be the height of selfishness. If I had a child, he would not have a dad, or an intermittent dad. Out of three hundred and sixty-five days, he would see me perhaps seventy days, and again, I would be tired, so I wouldn’t even be fully available.” But last summer, Keen’V assured him, the infertility was then “no longer a subject” with his ex-partner. Thanks to their union, the singer was also able to have a glimpse of parenthood. His former wife, eight years his senior, already had two children from a first union. And, according to the singer, that was all he needed! “My wife has two children, I raised them, they are grown up nowhe explained, still to our colleagues. It’s like I had it. And then, I have a hectic pace: last month, I was only at home five days. In this case, adopting would almost be selfish.”
