In 2014, they welcomed twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.

Despite Gabriella being the elder twin, Jacques is the heir-to-the-throne in Monaco due to the patriarchal rules of succession.

The royal couple have faced several negative rumours regarding their marriage.

In 2020, the Princess contracted an ear, nose and throat infection and remained in South Africa where she was receiving treatment.
