Pascal, 69, grew up in Paris but moved to the US when he was 22. Despite not speaking English at the time, Pascal managed to find success and has been living in Chicago for over 30 years. He is the owner of the hair salon PascalPourElle.
While Pascal has been private about his past romances, we do know that he has three children — Natalie Crystalle, Maxim, and Sara Ibgui.
His son, Maxim, made a brief appearance on the show via a video message to his dad. “Dad, I just want to say how thrilled I am for you to have been given this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Joan, I can’t wait to meet you when my dad brings you back,” he said in the video, adding in a joke: “One more thing. I promise I won’t have any parties at the house this Saturday at 10 p.m. I love you, dad. Kill it.”
Pascal’s daughter, Natalie, defended him from haters in a TikTok video.
“All the people that talked smack about my dad PASCAL from The Golden Bachelorette without knowing his life story,” she wrote in the video. “I’ll always have my dad’s back … that’s a fact,” she added in the caption.
