In Instagram stories shared on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, Franck Fanich opened up about being separated from his wife Émilie in recent days, as she went on vacation with Tiffanie Esposito. The father of nine, who rose to fame on the French reality TV show “Familles nombreuses,” took the opportunity to explain why their relationship also needed some time apart.
A family of nine children, revealed in 2021 in the French reality show “Familles nombreuses : la vie en XXL” (Large Families: Life in XXL). Since their first appearance in the TF1 docuseries, the Fanich family has built a strong community of fans, with over 300,000 followers on Instagram, where they share their hectic daily life. And it’s not always easy for the couple to manage everyday life with such a large brood! But they always support each other, especially when one or the other decides to take a well-deserved break. This is particularly true right now, as Émilie Fanich is currently in Morocco with her friend Tiffanie Esposito, also featured in “Familles nombreuses.” A vacation 2,000 kilometers from their home in Seine-et-Marne, which had become necessary for them to recharge.
The Fanich family (large family) can now afford to “lighten their load” 
by sharing a series of Instagram stories on Wednesday, November 5, 2025. “I’m really happy she’s taking some time off,” Franck Fanich explained. With nine children, including a baby born in 2023, the influencer couple hasn’t had many opportunities lately to escape the daily grind on their own. “It’s something we haven’t done, and that’s normal because we had the children to raise. There was a time when we couldn’t because of a lack of time and too many young children. Now, we can afford to lighten our load by leaving one parent at home,” he continued, happy that his wife can “clear her head” with her friend Tiffanie Esposito, with whom she gets along “really well.” This experience has given the father a valuable life lesson. “For a couple, it’s super important that one of them can take time for themselves. Distance often creates this closeness. By being together all the time, we lose sight of the common thread…,” he added on Instagram.
The Fanichs, parents of nine children: “Daily life can be really tiring…”
“Having some distance makes you want to reconnect. Whether it’s the man or the woman, or both at the same time, it’s good to give each other time, see what’s happening elsewhere, and break away from the daily grind,” Franck added philosophically. Especially since he too was able to enjoy a few days on his own, which was beneficial. “I did it with friends and I came back feeling more liberated. I’ve recharged my batteries because daily life can be really tiring…”
