Caroline Receveur Philip (born 10 November 1987) is a French television figure and fashion influencer. She first gained public attention as a participant in reality television and has since expanded her presence through TV roles, her fashion blog, and active engagement on social media platforms.
Education and early career
Hailing from Épinal in the Vosges region, Caroline is the daughter of Jacky Receveur, who played professional football for FC Metz. With ambitions to become a model from the age of 14, she relocated to Paris after completing her literary baccalauréat at 17 and signed with the Roxane modeling agency. Due to her height restricting modeling opportunities, she worked as a nightclub waitress in Metz while continuing to seek modeling contracts in Paris.
Television career
Caroline made her television debut in June 2008 during the second season of Secret Story on TF1, where her secret involved being in a couple with another contestant. She was eliminated after two weeks but returned to reality TV in 2010 on NRJ 12, appearing in the first season of La Maison du bluff and the second season of Les Anges de la télé-réalité.
Starting in 2012, she featured in the scripted reality series Hollywood Girls, departing after three seasons. In 2013, she took on hosting duties for the second season of La Maison du bluff and briefly co-hosted Le Mag in 2014 before dedicating more time to her personal ventures.
In 2016, Caroline participated in the seventh installment of Danse avec les stars, partnered with Maxime Dereymez. She dedicated her run to her late father and was eliminated during the seventh episode on 26 November 2016.
Parallel activities
In 2014, Caroline Receveur introduced Wandertea, a detox brand offering teas infused with natural plants, developed in collaboration with pharmacist and herbalist Julien Duschene. Alongside this, she continues to operate a fashion advice blog and maintains an active presence on social media channels.
By August 2015, she had amassed one million followers on Instagram, commemorating this achievement with a significant post.
Family
Caroline is the middle child among three siblings, with an elder brother Benjamin (born 1984) and a younger sister Mathilde (born 1995). She has tattooed the birthdates of her family members on her left arm.
In 2013, she disclosed that her father had experienced a stroke several years prior. She announced his passing on social media on 29 May 2016.
Relationships
Caroline began dating Valentin Lucas in January 2012 after meeting him while serving as a jury member for Mister France in 2011. The couple announced intentions to marry and have children in 2013 but later delayed these plans. They moved from Paris to London in January 2015 before ending their relationship in November 2016.
Since December 2016, she has been in a relationship with French model Hugo Philip. In February 2018, she revealed her first pregnancy; their son Marlon Philip Receveur was born on 6 July 2018. The couple married privately on 11 July 2020 in Paris and shortly thereafter relocated to Dubai.
Residency
As reported by Challenges magazine, Receveur’s relocation to Dubai was driven by financial considerations. She highlighted that properties featuring amenities such as gardens and swimming pools are considerably more affordable there compared to France or the United Kingdom. Furthermore, Dubai’s reputation as a tax-friendly jurisdiction likely played a role in her choice.
Illness
On 25 July 2023, following an extended period away from social media, she revealed on Instagram that she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.
