What are the secrets of long-lasting couples? This is the question that was asked to Yvan Attal this Wednesday, September 13, 2023, on the set of the show C to you. The famous 58-year-old French director has been in a relationship since 1991 with Charlotte Gainsbourg. The 52-year-old actress and he are the happy parents of three children, namely Ben (born in 1997), Alice (born in 2002) and Jo (born in 2011). And after 31 years of love, the two lovebirds have never taken the plunge into marriage.
On the set of “C à vous”, columnist Patrick Cohen also broadcast images of Charlotte Gainsbourg who, invited on the same set in October 2019, had explained why she did not want to get married. “I never wanted to get married, I don’t want to get married! We’ve been together for twenty-eight years, it’s better to leave things as they are,” said Serge Gainsbourg’s daughter. Amused to see this sequence again, Yvan Attal then dropped a bombshell about his partner: “You want to laugh? I’m going to say it here… She asked me to marry him!”.

Surprised by this revelation, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine then asked when this famous request took place. And Yvan Attal replied: “Not so long ago. I’m not going to say any more here, stop. It is already a lot ! She asked me to be her husband… She’s amazing!” he admitted.
On his way, Yvan Attal added that Charlotte Gainsbourg was on her knees when she made her request and that he of course accepted. “Did I have a choice after thirty-two years?” he said with humor. The director who had promised not to say more ended up giving more details: “It was very strange because it happened like that, it came out suddenly. She said, ‘I have something to say. I want us to get married’“.

Always with a lot of irony, the father concluded his anecdote by saying ” “We still haven’t gotten married, it’s still been a few months. We don’t know if it’s serious. Here we are!”
