Her husband sadly passed away in 2022. Didier immediately left Clairefontaine upon hearing the heartbreaking news of his father's death.

Her son Didier has a jaw-dropping net worth of $245 million.
One of her two sons sadly passed away in a plane crash
Ginette had two sons, Didier and Philippe, with her husband Pierre. Both of their sons were raised Catholic.
Her son Philippe tragically died in a plane crash when Didier was just 19 years old. Didier confessed to having to live with it, although it's so unfair.
"We are obliged", he said.
He also said that it's difficult to forget, although years have passed, and what made it even more difficult was it was Christmas time when they lost him, which, according to him, remains marked for life.
About her son's managerial career
Didier started his coaching career in 2001 after his stunning football career where he lifted the European Cup twice, with Marseille and Juventus, and the World Cup and European Championship as the France national team captain.
He started as a head coach of Monaco. During an interview with Eurosport, he said his decision to change his career from a player to a coach came very quickly.
According to him, he had five days between his last match with Valencia and the start of his time with Monaco.
He decided to stop his career because his body was sending alarm signals.
With Monaco, he led the team to win the Coupe de la Ligue title and to its first UEFA Championship final in 2004.
He went on to manage his former club Juventus where he led the team to win the Serie B title and return to Serie A.
He also led his former club, Marseille, to win the Ligue 1 title as well as three consecutive Coupe de la Ligue titles between 2010 and 2012 and the Trophees des Champions title in 2010 and 2011.
He took over the France national team in 2012 and has been with the team since then.
To date, he has led the team to the quarter-finals of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the final of UEFA Euro 2016, and victory in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
He is among the three men to win the World Cup as a player and a manager.
The other two were Mario Zagallo and Franz Beckenbauer, who sadly passed away in January 2024, two days apart.
Who is her son currently married to?
