Over the past ten years, Omar Sy has seen his professional life evolve radically: César Award for Best Actor, he is now playing American blockbusters and has just been nominated for the Golden Globes for his role in Lupine. But close to him, if many things have changed, a pillar remains unchanged: his relationship with Hélène, his wife of more than 20 years and the mother of his five children.
However, the couple, who have now moved to Los Angeles, could have never known each other! Indeed, the day they met, they weren’t really supposed to see each other: Omar Sy had come to visit a friend who happened to be… Hélène’s roommate. “We met through an artist friend who lived with me, in an apartment in Buttes-Chaumont“, told Hélène in She, in 2015. And fate put them on the road to each other. “Omar and she were high school friends. (…) They had an appointment, but she was not there, so it was I who welcomed her“, she let know.
His daughter Selly passes a course
Immediately the current passed between them, who had discussed this evening there until 5 hours of the morning! An evidence that resulted in a splendid marriage, in July 2007, after several years of relationship. But above all, to 5 magnificent children, long protected by their parents who refused to show their faces. A large tribe that lives in Los Angeles with the actor, made up of three girls and two boys, the eldest of whom, Selly, has just celebrated her 21st birthday. The opportunity for the former accomplice of Fred Testot to declare his love to him. “21 years that you make me grow… I’m proud of the woman you are. Even if you will always remain this little girl in my arms and in my heart. I wish you to always remain free, just and whole“, he had written in the caption of a photo of them a few years ago, taken when the young girl was still very small.
