During the November 8, 2026 episode of *Un dimanche à la campagne* on France 2, singer Marguerite, formerly of Star Academy, joined host Frédéric Lopez alongside guests Patrick Sabatier and Jessé. Marguerite recalled that she had been loved by her parents even though they had not planned to have her. [1]

She disclosed that this truth came to light when she turned 16, at which point her mother chose full transparency regarding their initial hesitation. Recalling the conversation, Marguerite quoted her mother: 'For me, it is very important that you know this and that you understand your whole history. We hesitated to keep you.' Despite the weight of such a revelation, Marguerite stated that she did not feel abandoned or resentful during childhood. Instead, her immediate reaction was one of empathy toward her mother, reassuring her: 'Don't worry, I didn't feel it. I feel loved.' She added that she would never have known if her mother had not told her. [1]

Marguerite also spoke about how anxious she felt on arriving at Star Academy. She recalled spending the first nights among people she did not yet know and worrying about her safety. [1]
