Their story started out like an American romantic comedy. It all began in October 2022, on the set of M6, when &Eric Antoine came to promote Lego Masters. In an interview with “Télé 7 Jours” in July 2025, he recalled, “Gennifer and I met on a set where I was promoting Lego Masters. I was in a period of my life where I was content with my joyful singlehood. This friendship turned into deep love: it was because we were very good friends that we realized how essential we were to each other.” The host added, “We stayed friends for two years because Gennifer was already in a relationship. When she broke up with her partner, I presented my resume, and I was hired.”
On August 30, 2025, the lovebirds exchanged vows for the first time at the town hall of Aix-en-Provence. Karine Le Marchand was there, but several members of their entourage were absent, including &Eric Antoine’s children and friends from “La France a un incroyable talent.”
