Benjamin Biolay is not just an excellent actor and one of the most talented singers of his generation. In addition to his artistic personality, which he exploits for himself and for others, Benjamin Biolay is also a father: that of Anna, 19, and another three-year-old girl still living in Argentina. If he is far from his youngest, the 49-year-old artist has the chance to regularly see his biggest, born from his marriage to the actress Chiara Mastroianni, daughter of Marcello Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve.
guest ofAs an aside this Tuesday, September 20 to promote the release of his new album Grand Prize, Benjamin Biolay has agreed to confide in his life as a dad, his relationship with his ex-wife and the evidence of the transmission between a parent and his child. If music is his whole life, he affirms that it naturally takes up a lot of space in that of his daughters: “It is so present in my life that it is present in theirs. The music, the cinema but also the faults…” he admits. If he does not specify which ones, it is with great pride and a smile on the corner of his lips that Benjamin Biolay evokes the most important women of his life.
Divorced from Chiara Mastroianni since 2009, Benjamin Biolay has nonetheless kept strong ties with her. The former lovebirds are still as close as before: “It is not because we divorce that we are no longer a family. It’s our way of looking at things. It’s intimate. […] My daughter, her mother and her grandmother are very important to me like my parents and my sisters.”
Recently in Marie ClaireBenjamin Biolay returned to the underside of the relationship that still and always binds him to the mother of his oldest daughter: “Chiara is the woman of my life, my half, from a certain point of view. […] We remain a family” Remarks also made by the main interested party: “I say as a joke that we get along better now than before! We have a great relationship, it’s true. It’s the result of a will, because we have a child together.“A complicity that they do not hesitate to display on the red carpets to the delight of the public.
