Christina Milian to Stay in Paris Long-Term

Christina Milian on Living Her Best Life in Paris with Husband Matt Pokora and Their Three Kids

A New Chapter in Paris

Christina Milian is living her best life after moving to Paris with her husband Matt Pokora and their three children. The actress, who stars as a young Maria LaGuerta in Dexter: Original Sins, made the big move to her husband’s native country last year and is loving every moment of it.

A Nice Balance

Milian explains that she maintains her Hollywood career while living in France, "My daytime, I get to do the family stuff. I work out. I do my self-care thing. I cook dinner. Usually things really kind of get started [for work] around 7 p.m., where it’s like phone calls and stuff, and I’m making dinner." Dinner is the only time it might be a little bit stressful, she says, as she’s both on mom duty and starting her work day as L.A. wakes up. Ideally, she makes it to 8:30 p.m. before she fully transitions her focus.

A New Language

The actress is also picking up the French language herself, "I do speak French, I’m about 60 percent of the way [to being fluent]." Her children, 14-year-old Violet, 4-year-old Isaiah, and 3-year-old Kenna, are also adjusting to their new home. Milian shares, "My kids go to school there. I want the kids to continue speaking the language. It’s easy to switch to English all the time. So it’s nice that my daughter loves school there, we’re Frenchies."

Dexter: Original Sins

Milian recently landed a role in the Dexter prequel series, which premieres on December 13 on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME Plan. She had to do a callback for the role at 2 a.m. Paris time, "My kids are sleeping, my husband’s sleeping. I’m doing this audition in the kitchen." Despite the unusual circumstances, Milian is "so thankful" to have been part of the series.

Conclusion

Christina Milian is thriving in her new life in Paris with her family. She has found a nice balance between her work and personal life, and is even learning the French language herself. With her children adjusting to their new home and her successful career, it seems unlikely that she will be leaving Paris anytime soon.
