A new happy event in the world of television. In a job as demanding as that of a television journalist, family life must sometimes be sacrificed in order to be able to fully devote oneself to one's profession. Thus, it is not uncommon to see stars of the small screen, as well as the big screen, for that matter, giving up on giving birth to a child.
This is even more complicated for homosexual couples. The process is not made easy for LGBTQIA+ people : although women have recently been able to resort to medically assisted procreation, this is not the case for men, for whom recourse to surrogacy must necessarily be done abroad.
Marc Hay (BFMTV) announced that he is going to be a dad on Christmas Day
If we don't know anything about how his baby was conceived, a new TV figure has just announced that he will in turn experience the joys of fatherhood: Marc Hay. This face is in no way unknown to you if you regularly watch BFMTV. He presents the weather and even occupies a position of choice, since he acts as head of the weather and climate department on the channel. “Merry Christmas to everyone! It's a bit of a special Christmas for me, the last one before welcoming my little baby. I can't wait to hold her! A new life is about to begin for me! Looking forward to June ! #papa #futurpapa #futuredad #futuredaddy #baby #bebe #petitefille #babygirl #christmas #happydad”, wrote Marc Hay on Instagram on Christmas Day.
Marc Hay revealed his homosexuality in May 2021 on Twitter
His private life was completely unknown to Internet users until May 17, 2021. That day, in a courageous and strong militant act, the journalist came out via Twitter, in touching and striking words: “On this May 17, the world day against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia, it is time for me to say out loud what I have never dared to say before: I am gay. The opportunity for me also to denounce all the insults towards me on social networks.
Like many men, Marc Hay wants to achieve the same dream: fatherhood. Then begins a long and tedious process to be able to welcome a child, of which he does not however make any mention on social networks. No information is filtered, neither on the process, nor on the identity of the second parent. Simply a visceral desire. And from this desire will come excellent news. On October 4, 2024, by his own admission, the future father learns that fertilization went well and that he will soon welcome a child. He decides to wait until November 30 to announce the happy event to his parents.
As for Internet users, the secret will remain well kept until an Instagram publication on December 25. A beautiful miracle, worthy of a Christmas movie, for Marc Hay's family. The birth is planned for the month of June. The weather journalist kept his future parenthood a secret for a long time. On the other hand, regarding the sex of the child, he spilled the beans. In his Instagram bio there is the mention “soon to be father of a little girl”. A little girl who we imagine well cared for.
