An emblematic figure of French cinema, Marlène Jobert is also a talented author. Aged 83, the actress also revealed 3 Beautiful Christmas Stories, a story and CD box set published by Glénat Jeunesse in October 2016. In addition to her artistic activities, the actress is the happy grandmother of Giulio, 9 years old, and Vittoria, 10 years old. Two children born from the love between his daughter Joy and Niccolo Marzichi Lenzi.
Unfortunately, the octogenarian cannot see her grandchildren as often as she would like, because her two daughters live abroad. “I would not have imagined that each of my daughters (Joy and Eva Green, editor’s note) who are twins, would live elsewhere than in France,” she recently confided during an interview with the magazine Gala Thursday December 21, 2023. “But Eva lives in London, where she has her career, and Joy lives in Tuscany with her husband where she runs a wine estate. Even though I go to see them as often as possible, it creates a distance. Joy gave me two grandchildren who speak three languages and call me grandmother with an accent and lots of Rs… it’s cute. Eva, for her part, is not very interested in becoming a mother.”

A complicated period for Marlène Jobert
The holiday season is also particularly difficult for Marlène Jobert who often has to resolve to spend New Year’s Eve without Giulio and Vittoria. “At this time, they traditionally go to Mauritius with their parents, but we make up for it in June when they come to see me in Normandy for a month and a half. At that time, I give them a Christmas with lots of presents in the garden. In the meantime, I spend the holidays with friends who don’t have grandchildren. We get together, I put up a tree full of decorations and it’s cheerful. Of course, ideally, I would like to see my grandchildren more often…” Touching confidences.
