Celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli and fiancée expecting first child

French celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, 46, and his fiancée Michelle Kennedy, 31, are expecting their first child together. The couple who have been dating for two years, got engaged in November and although they hadn’t been planning to have a child yet, they are thrilled. Due to the pregnancy, they have post-poned their wedding until 2009. Jean-Christophe says,

I know, no matter how much I can succeed in my life, love is the most important, and concerning kids, I want millions.

He also adds that they have already made big plans for the baby’s future.

If it’s a boy, he’ll play football Premier League in England, but he’ll play for France in the World Cup. If it’s a girl, she will play for Great Britain for the women. That’s what we’ve agreed so far.

Michelle is confident about Jean-Christophe’s fatherhood skills.

I find Jean very, very attractive. He’s a real man. I like that about him. And absolutely the ideal specimen of a man to have a baby with! I’m very lucky. I know he’s going to be a fantastic father.

Jean-Christophe has been married twice before and he has daughter Christina, 20, from a previous marriage.
