Benjamin Biolay, who has just celebrated his 50th birthday, has kept a secret for a long time: the existence of his daughter Louise, born in Argentina a little over three years ago.

The artist revealed the existence of his child in the columns of "Paris Match" in 2020 because he did not know, because of the confinement, when he was going to be able to see his little Louise again, still in Argentina.

Benjamin Biolay knows how to keep a secret.

The singer, who celebrated his 50th birthday on Friday January 20, managed to hide for several years the existence of his daughter Louise, born in Argentina three years ago.

The artist, father of another daughter, Anna, 19 and a half, fruit of his love with Chiara Mastroianni, wanted to preserve the privacy of his little Louise. 

“I also wanted to prove that you could protect your privacy”

It was in June 2020, two years after his birth, that he revealed his existence, in the columns of

Paris Match.

 Asked about his love for Argentina, which notably inspired his album 

Palermo Hollywood,

the singer replied: “I spend a third of the year there. I have an apartment in Buenos Aires, a family. have to explain to me now, because because of the confinement I don't know when I will be able to go see my daughter there. I also wanted to prove that we could protect her privacy. If we don't publish photos of the delivery table on Instagram, nobody knows."

The artist has never revealed the identity of the mother of his daughter Louise, with whom he remains in contact.

In an interview with

Parisian

this summer, Benjamin Biolay welcomed the end of health restrictions.

Due to successive confinements, the star was unable to fly to Argentina to spend time with her granddaughter.

The summer of 2022 has been a release for him.

"We saw each other a lot this summer but I'm not going to see her for the next three months, it's going to be extremely hard, because she's going to be three years old in a month. I'm releasing my tenth album, I want to do well present it but then I will resume the course of my life. When it's winter here, I'll be in summer (in Argentina)".

It is therefore very likely that the singer celebrated his fiftieth birthday on the other side of the world with his little girl…
