– who celebrates his 60th birthday this Saturday – and form a legendary couple. Parents of , they are not married and they sometimes do not even live under the same roof, or even thousands of kilometers from each other. A way of life which is part of their balance and which Charlotte Gainsbourg explained during the podcast Madame Figaro Magazine. Far from idealizing their daily life, the daughter of the man with the head of cabbage declared that with her darling director, they were not “of crisis”. “We have no lessons to teach, we are very lucky to have held on. There are so many couples who break up but there is no secret…”, she explained.
A few years ago, Yvan Attal, for his part, spoke of their romantic relationship which was sometimes maintained at a distance. “She does what she wants, as long as I don’t know. I can’t believe that outside of me, when I’m not there, she’s faithful…”said the director in 2016, in an interview with the magazine His. Comments which were surprising and on which he returned to Philippe Vandel on Europe 1. He also spoke about his vision of loyalty: “It’s not immodest. It’s a reflection on the couple, on me who has been with the same woman for 25 years. I can imagine, I don’t pretend to believe that she was faithful to me for 25 years.”
Yvan Attal and Charlotte Gainsbourg, a couple who had to live far from each other
Living far from each other has never been a problem for Yvan Attal and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Moreover, the lovers spent the confinement far from each other. But be careful, it wasn’t by choice. “Just before confinement, I was in New York with Charlotte and my daughters and I came home to prepare this film by Karine Tuil that I was supposed to prepare March-April and shoot June-July. Boom, we’re confined, so I found myself all alone in Paris, with my son”, had told the one who revealed what is at the origin of his drooping eyelid. A period that Yvan Attal still found long.
The beautiful apartment of Yvan Attal and Charlotte Gainsbourg
The couple took up residence on rue du Bac, in the 7th arrondissement of the capital. It is an apartment renovated by the architect Erwan Gayet, who is none other than the brother of Julie, the famous actress and wife of François Hollande. “Charlotte knew exactly what she wanted“, explained the site manager to our colleagues at Paris Match who was able to observe the beautiful parquet floors, the beautiful moldings and the exposed beams of this property. The latter is not very far from that.
