Parents of Ben (born in 1997), Alice (born in 2002) and Jo (born in 2011), the actress seems to have found perfect happiness for more than 30 years with the actor and director decorated with the insignia of Knight of the National Order of Merit since 2013. However, the daughter of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg categorically refuses one thing to her companion: her hand!
Although he made an official request to him in 2013, Yvan Attal has still not passed the ring on his partner’s finger. “JI’m going to make a statement to you, if you want to become, for good, my wife!“he had asked her in front of all the assistance. Surprised, Charlotte Gainsbourg had then remained speechless and had not given an answer to her brave suitor… A fear of stopping their happiness so perfect?
She does not want to
Interviewed by Thierry Ardisson on the show Hello earthlings (C8) in 2018, Yvan Attal had explained why they had not finally married: “She does not want to” Same thing for the PACS which does not have the favors of the beautiful Charlotte Gainsbourg either. “No, but she doesn’t want anything! She wants to stay like that, she doesn’t want to change anything“, had confided Yvan Attal, a little disappointed.
We will probably do it
Interviewed by journalists from Vanity Fair in 2018, the film actress Give me your hand had also mentioned their possible union, which she finally seemed to consider. “We will probably do that. I was really touched… We haven’t really talked about it for twenty-two years. We’re both against marriage. It was not a hot topic. Then we thought it was probably too late. And there, the idea that he is considering it, that’s what convinced me. Anyway, I’m glad it’s his idea. Me, I’m superstitious: I tell myself that we lasted twenty-two years without being married, I’m very afraid of what we provoke.” she explained.
Very in love with the director, she also revealed the circumstances of their meeting and their romantic relationship. ” I was 19 when my father died. I thought I wouldn’t get over it. […] I pretended he was still there. […] For years I was a wreck. Yvan picked me up very soon after and he had the patience to wait, I don’t know…, ten years…, until, little by little, I emerged.”
