Diana Blois, the iconic figure in Familles Grandes: La Vie en XXL , made headlines this Saturday, September 20, 2025, after posting hiking photos of herself in Converse sneakers on Instagram. The mother of nine had to explain to her 226,000 Instagram followers why she made this choice. And she had a very good reason.
Diana Blois and her husband Gérôme, the iconic couple from Familles grandes: la vie en XXL , the TF1 reality show, introduced viewers to their blended family life with nine children during season 2 of the program in 2020.

Although their television adventures ended in 2024 after the cancellation of the second part of the eighth edition, they continue on social media where the mother of the family is followed by 226,000 subscribers on Instagram. She regularly shares her daily life, even if it displeases.
