It was a long time before Prince Albert recognized his two illegitimate children. But today he, Jazmin and Alexandre have a close relationship.
In the 1990s, Prince Albert was considered a womanizer, and his private liaisons kept making headlines. When he met the South African swimmer Charlène Wittstock in the early 2000s, it was thought that Albert would gradually become calmer. But far from it.
Prince Albert: These are his illegitimate children
In 2005, a few days before Prince Albert ascended the throne, he recognized the then two-year-old Alexandre Coste. The boy’s mother is the flight attendant Nicole Coste. The spicy: When the news of the illegitimate son reached the world, Albert was already in a relationship with Charlène. At the time, however, the two had not yet shown themselves publicly as a couple. That happened at the opening of the Winter Olympics in January 2006 in Italy.
But Alexandre was not to remain the Prince’s last illegitimate child. Also in 2006 Albert recognized his daughter Jazmin Grace. The mother of the now 29-year-old is the American waitress Tamara Rotolo, who Albert met on vacation.
Jazmin Grace Grimaldi is an actress
Jazmin Grace has meanwhile made a name for herself. She works as a singer and actress. She only met her royal father when she was eleven. Today the relationship with the Monegasque part of her family should be good, as the American told the magazine “Harper’s Bazaar”: “We make family dinners, celebrate barbecues, go to the beach, do everything that a normal family does.”
At the Royal Wedding of Albert and Charlène on July 2, 2011, however, neither Jazmin nor Alexandre were present. At that time it was said that one wanted to avoid the media hype about the children. The attention after Albert recognized her as a daughter had serious consequences for her life. She was in high school at the time and had a relatively normal everyday life.
In comparison, Alexandre Coste is a little more private and reserved than his half-sister, who, however, keeps posting pictures with him. This was also the case last weekend when Alexandre celebrated his 18th birthday. Shortly before, Prince Albert had visited his wife Charlène in South Africa. The princess has not been allowed to leave the country for months because she is not supposed to fly because of an ENT disease. It is unclear whether Albert flew back home for his son’s birthday.
