A rocker with a tender heart. When you see him on stage, it's hard to imagine Nicola Sirkis nursing. And yet! At 60, the leader of the Indochina group is the father of three children. In a relationship with Gwenaelle Bouchet, better known by her stage name, Gwen Blast, guitarist of the group Madinkà, they give birth to a little girl, Théa, who was born in 2001. Young parents married in 2003, then divorced in 2009. A separation that will leave Nicola Sirkis with a bitter taste for a long time. "I am still in love with the mother of my daughter, it is something indelible. Especially since, When it comes to my family, I live with the constant feeling that I miss them, even when they are there. (…) Everything goes so quickly. How many times do I regret not staying with my daughter, he confided to the magazine Paris Match."
An eventful confinement
In 2008, with his new partner, a former graphic designer for the Indochina group, the musician becomes a dad of a boy named Alice-Tom, now 12 years old. With her, he will have another son, Jules, born in 2016. Nicola Sirkis first spent part of the confinement with his daughter, then devoted himself to his two other children, as he explained on the set of Daily Tuesday, May 26, 2020. "I was with my daughter and then when I had my two boys, it was rather one eye on the guitar, one eye on the fight. Because'you have to manage when you have three alone', he told Yann Barthès. The musician is also very close to Lou, 28, who is none other than the daughter of his twin brother, Stéphane, who tragically died of hepatitis C. "My daily life is like that of a father who goes to pick up his children from school", he said during a meeting with readers of the Parisian.
