Since 2016, she has had a perfect love affair with director Samuel Benchetrit. The couple only formalized their relationship in 2018, a very solid story shared between professional projects and private moments. For example, the lovebirds worked together on the film This music doesn’t play for anyone among other collaborations in cinema or theater. And where some lovers would be cautious about the idea of linking love and work, others are perfectly fine with it. If Vanessa Paradis and are a very good illustration of this, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Yvan Attal are not bad in the field either!
The years that pass have no influence on the love that Vanessa Paradis and Samuel Benchetrit have for each other. At each public appearance, in front of the lenses. But if apparently everything is going well between the two, the two actors are not no less spared from moments of doubt and fears that any couple can go through during their history.
Vanessa Paradis and Samuel Benchetrit facing great fear
Asked during an interview given to our colleagues at Marie Claire on newsstands this Friday, December 6, 2024, Vanessa Paradis spoke as rarely about her life as a couple. Concerning the boundary between professional and private life when she and Samuel work on the same project, she explains how This is not really a danger for them : “In work, I am no longer his wife, he is no longer my husband, he is my director and I listen to him even more than in life. His word, in these cases, is almost divine!”
But precisely, this professional proximity sometimes frightened them. This was the case as part of a theater tour: “When we left, Samuel and I, on tour for four months for his play Maman, the idea of being together all the time, during the day, in the evening, on stage, on the road, scared us, seemed risky to us. Because because of our jobs, we are both often traveling, used to being separated.” Fortunately, the couple went beyond their fears and everything went wonderfully well: “But in the end, this long tour turned out to be extremely fun for us. It was a really nice way, basically, for the two of us to spend time, we who love being together so much.” An experience which therefore strengthened their complicity and their relationship.
