At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Italy, Prince Albert II and Charlène made their debut as a couple; the year before, the prince ascended the throne following the death of his father. Their relationship was rocked by scandals early on. Albert II, who was considered a playboy in the 1990s, recognized his illegitimate son Alexandre in 2005. The boy’s mother is a flight attendant. He also officially recognized Jazmin Grimaldi’s paternity after a lawsuit from her mother, Tamara Rotolo. Nevertheless, Albert II and Charlène remained a couple, getting engaged in 2010 and marrying in 2011. Their twins, Gabriella and Jacques, were born in 2015. After Charlène was unable to leave South Africa for several months in 2021, rumors persisted about the two’s marriage. Recently, revelations from Albert’s former accountant caused a major scandal in the princely state (read more about this here).
