A few years ago, we told you about Gwenny Blanckaert and Marino Vaneeno, a couple from Staden, near Roeselare, when they became the happy parents of a ninth child.
Already at the time, Gweeny, Marino and their nine children did not form a family like the others since they had something that gave them a unique character in Belgium.
The parents never took the choice of the first names of their offspring lightly since all the nine children had first names with… the same letters. In 2019, little Xale was welcomed by his big brothers and big sisters Alex, Axel, Xela, Lexa, Xael, Xeal, Exla and Leax…
And at the time, the parents had recognized that they did not intend to stop there… And they had not lied. This Saturday, the Laatste Nieuws explains to us that the family now has… 12 children.
During the pandemic, Elax (2) and Alxe (1) were indeed born and, at the beginning of April, it was Laex who became the 12th child of this sibling like no other.
“Yes, there are other possible combinations,” laughs Gwenny, interviewed by HLN.be. “But we always said that if we ended up with 12 children at the table, our family would be complete, so we will stop there”.
