Paola wins season 14 of Secret Story

Secret Story 2026 Paola reality television TMC final winner

Paola has been crowned the winner of the 14th season of the French reality television show Secret Story. In the grand finale broadcast on TMC, she secured victory with 42% of the public vote, defeating finalists Océane, Robin, and Kurtis. Despite having a zero euro jackpot following a previous banqueroute, her win earned her the promised 100,000 euro prize.

Paola, a 25-year-old with Corsican and Italian roots, participated in the competition with the secret “I am the protector of the couple,” a role that required her to safeguard the relationship between contestants Arthur and Océane. Her victory follows a season marked by intense strategic gameplay and emotional developments.

Following her exit from the house, Paola has maintained a close relationship with fellow contestant Simon. She described their connection as a unique “osmosis” and noted that they have significant plans to spend time together in the coming days.
