On the set of Thierry Ardisson for the promotion of the film Child games in 2003, Guillaume Canet reacted to the daring request of the presenter to kiss his partner – who later became his companion – Marion Cotillard. He then replied:Absolutely not cap, for several reasons, had explained the actor. First of all, it’s because I’m an actor so I’m doing that in a film. And the second reason is that I have my lovely sweetheart and lover who wouldn’t like that and I would completely understand.“Then, during the broadcast, he made a statement to Diane Kruger in front of the camera: “I love you my Pitchoune.“
On several occasions, the former couple have graced the Festival steps in glamor together, as the photos in our slideshow show. However, the romance officially ended with their divorce in 2006. In an interview with Telegram, the actress confided that she remained on good terms with the acclaimed actor-turned-director. Each has since written a different story. Guillaume Canet had two children with Marion Cotillard, Marcel (11) and Louise (5). Diane Kruger became a mother of Nova Tennessee with the hero of Walking Dead Norman Reedus, a girl named Nova Tennessee and born in 2022.
Diane Kruger and Guillaume Canet were present for the closing ceremony of the 75th Cannes Film Festival to each award a prize, respectively that of the best actor (Song Kang-ho for the role of Sang-hyeon in The Lucky Stars)and that of the female performer (Zar Amir Ebrahimi for The Nights of Mashhad).
