Then, he had three other children with his wife, Léo, Lou and Lola. Usually quite discreet about his private life, for once he indulged in a few confidences: “Composite family, six children, not a bad six, right? Half a dozen in a carton of eggs, from 17 to 37 years old (…) Out of the six, we raised four together you see, it’s hot all the same. And we adopted animals.”
Asked about his role as a father and his presence on the small screen, he explained that his home had never blamed him too much for his absences. “My oldest finished his schooling in Toulouse, and once he got his baccalaureate he said ‘dad, I’m coming to live with you’. He was 17 so he saw my pace (…) and he understood that I was passionate”he said.
Before proudly declaring: “They excused me because now they are also passionate. There is one who is arch, they are in various networks. The good thing is that they are passionate.”
Jean-Luc Reichmann and his wife Nathalie Lecoultre: “It’s a bit like the comedy dell’arte…”
Jean-Luc Reichmann also returned to his beautiful love story with Nathalie. “At the beginning, she was a stylist and then we created this series, Léo Mattéï, together.

Before letting go: “I call her the colorist of my life because she knows how to combine colors so well”.
The secret of a lasting relationship? “The secret is that you have to give yourself a little freedom, I think. Somehow, it’s respect for others and then being there for others. It’s important because, how are you going to feel the best and the happiest?”he continued.
And Jean-Luc Reichmann concludes: “On a daily basis, I can tell you that it’s a struggle because it’s a bit of a comedia dell’arte with children, animals, and life, the timing is crazy…”
