First love of Gérard Jugnot, Cécile Magnan has always remained very discreet during their romance. Mother of their son Arthur born in 1980, she appeared in a rare snapshot taken in a very sad setting for the ex-couple who had spent many years together in the 1980s, on the day of Véronique Colucci’s funeral at the communal cemetery of Montrouge, April 12, 2018.
Pretty, very elegant brunette working in cinema and theater as a costume designer, Cécile Magnan had met Gérard Jugnot because she took care of her outfits on film sets. She has also worked with him on the two huge successes of the 7th art: The Bronzed (1978) and Santa Clause is garbage (1982).
After having loved each other for almost twenty years, Cécile Magnan and Arthur Jugnot separated in 2003 but have since kept very good contacts. As proof, they collaborated again together in 2005 during the filming of the film The Bronzed 3 and get along wonderfully in the education of their son Arthur.
Interviewed by TeleStar in 2017, Gérard Jugnot revealed a little more his links with his son. If he admitted not having been very present during his childhood, he was pleased with the very strong bond which united them now. “When Arthur was little, it was complicated, even conflicting. Probably because I separated from his mother [la costumière Cécile Magnan, NDLR]. And then I was very self-centered on my job. Today, we have a very strong bond that I have never had with my own father!“explained the actor.
Following his breakup with Cécile Magnan, Gérard Jugnot was in a relationship for more than ten years with the actress Saïda Jawad (met in 2003). Following this long relationship, the actor married Patricia Campi (thirty years his junior) in 2016. The lovers met on the set of the film Between friends in 2014 and formalized their relationship two years later, a few weeks before their wedding in the Var.
