In a recent interview, Manon revealed Fleur is already excited to meet her new little sister in a couple of months.
"Fleur is very excited. She says: ‘Baby in the tummy’ in French, and gives it kisses and strokes," Manon told HELLO! Manon is currently 24 weeks pregnant, with the baby being due in March next year.
Manon said: "We needed to know – we couldn’t wait until the birth to find out. Also, it’s great for Fleur to know because she can really bond with the bump." The couple know the sex of their baby but are keeping it hush-hush as their family want it to be a happy surprise.
It comes over a year after Manon and her hubby tied the knot at an idyllic ceremony in her hometown of Louvigné-du-Désert in Brittany. The gorgeous wedding took place at a French chateau, with their daughter – who was a one-year-old at the time – taking on the role of flower girl.
The duo met at a mutual friend's party and hit it off. They got engaged in Barbados in 2020, with Fleur arriving in 2021. After giving birth to Fleur, Manon took to social media to announce the news. "Fleur Camille Bennett." she wrote. "Born on Father's Day 20th June 2021, all happy and healthy. A little lady who took us by surprise when she decided to come! We love her very much already."
