Ultra-popular actress since her role as Valérie Bouley in the nine seasons of Do not do this, do not do that, Isabelle Gélinas has managed, over time, to remain discreet. Rarely invited to social events, rarely on the red carpets, the Franco-Quebec actress cultivates the mystery of her private life which she rarely talks about.
While she had appeared several times with the actor Eric Viellard, without knowing if this story is still relevant, we do know, however, that at 59, she is the mother of a grown-up daughter, Blanche, who is now 25 years old. An extremely discreet young woman, whom we never see and who was raised by her mother alone, after her father left when she was only three years old.
But no question for the actress to reveal more about her offspring. Asked by Paris Match on the subject, she had dropped only a few words: “I’m a single mother as they say, she confided. Besides, we won’t say more“. Describing himself as “the bad client for people pages“, she continues to preserve her life to the fullest today.
Parents in the series… discreet in life!
As do, moreover, his former partners in Do not do this, do not do that : her on-screen husband, Bruno Salomone, never reveals anything about his private life and was very embarrassed when his former affair with Julie Gayet was revealed. On the Lepic side, Guillaume de Tonquédec, meanwhile, is the father of three children with his wife Christèle (Amaury, Victoire and Thimoté) but only allows himself rare family outings.
The one whose life is best known, ultimately, happens to be Valérie Bonneton! The brilliant Fabienne Lepic is indeed the mother of two children, Joseph (21) and Marguerite (16) whose father is another well-known actor, François Cluzet, whom she divorced in 2011. Two young people who sometimes give her thread hard, like their eldest son whom the actress described as a “real geek“.
But to whom it imposes a rule: “They’ve never seen one of my films, I don’t want to. Neither do they, for that matter. It’s just my job. They know that I struggled for 10 years before I got there”, had she explained in the columns of the magazine TV 7 Days. Does this mean that they have never seen her in the skin of Fabienne Lepic? Amazing!
