Between 2002 and 2009, Benjamin Biolay – currently playing at Rebecca, broadcast this Thursday, November 2, 2021 on TF1 – was married to the beautiful Chiara Mastroianni. A seven-year relationship that unfortunately ended in an unexpected breakup. During an interview with our colleagues from Madame Figaro in 2017, the parents of Anna (born in 2003) had reunited and had not hesitated to remember their romance.
Love is undoubtedly no longer at the heart of their relationship and yet, Benjamin Biolay and Chiara Mastroianni have maintained a beautiful friendship since their divorce. About their marriage celebrated in 2002, they had told a common memory: that of a very modest ceremony. “Our wedding was pretty cheap“, had quickly confessed the French singer. A ceremony which took place at high speed since the two ex had visibly poorly prepared.
“We should have got up earlier. I got up half an hour before the town hall. In the photos, I have breakfast eyes.. “, had added the daughter of Marcello Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve, not without humor. A union that has “hard“, said the actress and singer, and who was saved by the intervention of her mother. Because for the occasion, Catherine Deneuve”had done things right“by preparing a release of”doves on Place Saint-Sulpice“.
A family as close as ever
During his intervention in A day with Brassens last October, Benjamin Biolay spoke about the relationship he still has with the Mastroianni family. “My daughter, her mother and my mother-in-law [Catherine Deneuve, NDLR] matter more than anything to me“, he had indicated. And to conclude, not without pride:”If I succeeded at anything, this is it. With Chiara, we see each other daily. We remain a family. ”
