Patrick Sébastien is a famous animator who always puts his people first. A father, he decided to adopt a little girl of color a few years ago with his partner, Nana. AmoMama gives you more details about what happened to her only daughter.
Lily, the adopted daughter of Patrick Sébastien, is now a tall and beautiful young girl. Her father is proud of her, even if he has some fears as well. Moreover, he did everything to hide it from the media for many years.
PATRICK SÉBASTIEN HIDDEN HIS ADOPTIVE DAUGHTER FOR 10 YEARS
Patrick Sébastien certainly needs no introduction. The 68-year-old has always shined in the world of television. If he had been ousted from France Télévisions some time ago, the sexagenarian continues to enjoy great success in the world of show biz with Les Sardines.
On the private side, Patrick is a happy man alongside his Nana, better known as Nathalie Boutot. If the latter never became pregnant with her companion, the two wanted to adopt a child together from Tahiti, a few years ago.
A girl that the host and his wife wanted to keep away from the media for a while. It was not until 2018 that the sexagenarian decided to show the face of his last child for the first time.
For the occasion, the singer posed for the Gala with his wife and his younger daughter. At that time, he notably revealed the reason why he had decided to hide his daughter for a while.
“I didn’t want to show Lily (…) but I realized that she needed it. She may have thought we were ashamed of her, when we just wanted to protect her.”
he revealed to the magazine.
WHY DID THEY DECIDE TO ADOPT A GIRL?
From now on, the daughter of Patrick Sébastien is 14 years old and she makes the happiness of her dad. Although she is not the animator’s biological child, Lily would have the same character as her father. The teenager is, in fact, “lively and joyful”, according to the musician, and the two have a very close relationship, although the young girl “no longer lets her dad into her room”.
In the columns of Gala, Patrick also confided in the adoption of his youngest. As Nathalie, his companion, could not have children, the two lovebirds made the decision to raise a toddler together. And at that time, the animator already knew what he wanted: “a little one, which comes from afar and colorful”.
They then cross paths with Lily, who has changed Patrick’s life forever. Especially since he had just lost his mother at the time.
“Lily arrived when I was losing the woman of my life. As if she was passing the baton to him”,
he said about it.
LILY HAS GROWN UP: SHE IS ALREADY 14 AND HER FATHER WORRIES ABOUT HER
Even if they say they have the same character, Patrick Sébastien and his daughter also have a few points that differentiate them. Besides, Lily is not a big fan of her dad’s songs. Which is still quite surprising.
It was during her appearance in Seven to Eight that she made these revelations while baking a chocolate cake with her mom. The kind of music that the teenager likes is French and American rap.
In addition, at Public, Patrick Sébastien confided in the kind of father he is with his daughter. In fact, the host is a daddy hen. As he revealed during his interview, Lily is “a spoiled child”. Thus, the girl would almost always get what she wants.
And like most fathers, Patrick Sébastien also never ceases to worry about his younger daughter, especially since young people these days “have grown up with the telephone,” and tend to smoke and drink.
“And the violence is worrying: every time I let my daughter go out, she risks her life,”
did he declare.
WHAT HAPPENS 13 YEARS AFTER ITS ADOPTION?
Thanks to her appearance in “Sept à Huit”, we also learned that in addition to loving rap, Patrick Sébastien’s daughter is also a big fan of video games.
That day, we also learned that Patrick banned his daughter from doing reality TV.
One thing particularly scares the host vis-à-vis his daughter, racism. Indeed, the latter fears that this will affect Lily, because at school, the young girl had already been called “dirty black” and “poor black”.
“I tremble for her! (…) The first one who hurts him, he must not fall on me, I will not go looking for the cops”,
says this protective father.
However, despite his concern, Patrick Sébastien has confidence in his daughter and knows that she has “a lucky star”.
WHO ARE HIS OTHER CHILDREN?
Besides Lily, Patrick Sébastien also had other children including Olivier, Benjamin and Sébastien, who died in 1990 at the age of just 19. The young man lost his life following a tragic motorcycle accident.
When he learned of the death of his son, Patrick had to go on stage. Not having the strength to sing anymore after hearing the sad news, he decided to call his friend Carlos to replace him.
He told me ‘You’re going to get on stage, it’s going to be very hard, you’re going to give people love, they’re going to send it back to you and that’s what’s going to keep you going’”.
Told animator.
Words stuck in the head of Patrick Sébastien who always decides to hold his head high despite the low blows of life.
