Karine Ferri is the happy mother of three children, born from her union with international footballer Yoann Gourcuff. What are their first names, and how did the couple choose them?
The beautiful Karine Ferri has been in a relationship with Yoann Gourcuff since 2011. The lovers met on the snowy slopes of the Tignes ski resort. Karine Ferri was then 29 years old, and had lost her great love, Grégory Lemarchal, 4 years ago. The host and the footballer, then aged and working at Olympique Lyonnais, experienced real love at first sight, and never let go of each other. They even quickly moved in together, and decided to start a family a few years later.
It was in 2016 that the couple welcomed their very first child, more precisely on November 6, 2016. Two years later, on July 16, 2018, the couple saw the birth of a little girl. And it was on May 3, 2023 that the host and her companion welcomed their third child, expanding their beautiful family.

What are the first names of Karine Ferri and Yoann Gourcuff’s children?
The couple decided to call her first child Maël. There is a real story behind this first name because Karine Ferri revealed it in the Magicmaman podcast entitled THE choice, that they wanted to pay homage to the father’s Breton origins. Two years later, upon the birth of their first baby girl, the couple revealed the first name Claudia. Here too, this one was well thought out because the lovers wanted a less common and elegant first name, like the Italian actress Claudia Cardinale.
When their second little princess arrived, in 2023, the couple also chose a fairly original first namewhich rhymed with the name of their first daughter: Sasha. On an Instagram post announcing her arrival, the host wrote: “After having hoped and waited for you so much, you finally arrived in our lives. Sasha, we love you so much and we are so happy“. The parents for their part are very invested, Yoann Gourcuff having put his career on hold to become a stay-at-home father, and Karine Ferri having confided in her role as a mother to Télé Star in April 2019 : “I have always wanted children and my role as a mother suits me perfectly. My life changed the day I became a mother…”.
