<p>Fatherhood has changed many things for Nico Bolzico, including how he sees the world and his role in it. The entrepreneur and content creator revealed that becoming a father to two daughters deepened his commitment to supporting women, leading him to describe himself as “a very strong feminist.” </p><p>Nico, who tied the knot with actress Solenn Heussaff in May 2016 at the Église Notre Dame, shares two daughters with the actress: Thylane Katana Bolzico, born in January 2020, and Maëlys Lionel Bolzico, born in December 2023. </p><p>During his guest appearance on <em>Matteo G Primetime,</em> Nico was asked how he is as a father of two daughters. He admitted that his personality has changed in that he has become more cautious and emotionally vulnerable. </p><p>“As a dad, I&#x27;m very, very weak. In the sense, not that I&#x27;m weak [in protecting] them, but I&#x27;m very weak in the sense that since I have those two girls, I&#x27;m a fearful person now,” he said.</p><p>“[Before], I was fearless. You know me before, we do whatever, we&#x27;re never afraid. Now, I&#x27;m fearful of anything that can happen to them. So, I&#x27;m a very protective dad,” he added.  </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DS8rKvkE47v/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A235262.19999998808%2C%22ls%22%3A234980.69999998808%2C%22le%22%3A235247.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="747" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>While acknowledging his protective side, Nico also stressed that he wants his daughters to grow up strong and independent. “I really want to be present, so I prioritize being with them.

I want them to have personality.” </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/5/22/solenn-heussaff-and-nico-bolzico-share-funny-greetings-for-10th-wedding-anniversary-1148" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Solenn Heussaff and Nico Bolzico share funny greetings for 10th wedding anniversary</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Nico maintained that, after he became a father, his reflections soon turned toward a larger realization that goes beyond parenting and into advocacy. </p><p>“I became a very strong feminist, also. I&#x27;m like all for women today.

But raising daughters gave that belief a deeper and more personal meaning.  </p><p>“Now I&#x27;m an activist, almost. I really believe this world is not fair enough for women, and I&#x27;m always trying to push any feminist movement. I&#x27;m there,” he stated.</p><p>He also had a pointed message for fellow men, saying: “For all the men out there, if you are not against sexism, you are in favor of it. There&#x27;s no like middle point.”  </p><p>Nico and Solenn recently marked their 10th wedding anniversary last May 21.  </p>
