From his Instagram account, Anthony Delon publishes a rare image of his mother. We see her, magnificent, in circus outfit, in the role of horse trainer… The message that accompanies the photo is all in delicacy and heavy with sadness: “They say that with time it passes… I know it is right. Only here, for the moment the magic does not operate at all. And the messages of support and comfort pour in, whether from anonymous people but also from celebrities like Luana Belmondo: “Courage my darling, I love you very much” or Valérie Kaprisky: “I know what are you talking about…The “heart” in a thousand pieces for a year…Whispered “Mom…”… Kisses”. In this January 21, 2023, it has been just two years since the actor lost his mother, Nathalie, to cancer. A terrible date for the Delon family. For his part, Alain sent a press release to AFP to mark this sad anniversary with a white stone. The departure forever of the one who was his only wife. Despite their divorce in 1968, Nathalie and Alain remained very close.

“With you, I understood that passion could be infinite…”
On the announcement of his death, “Le Guépard” wrote: “Nathalie was my first wife and the only Mrs. Delon. We got married in 1964. We stayed in constant contact. We saw each other often. I was part of her life, she was part of mine. We were still together at Christmas. We took pictures together, the last ones…”. Today, two years later, Alain Delon again pays tribute to him: “With you, I had my first son, Anthony. With you, I understood that the passion could be infinite… Two years already… I miss you, if you only knew…” writes the emblematic actor of French cinema in a text relayed on Twitter by the journalist from AFP Jean-Francois Guyot.
The last weeks of her life, Nathalie Delon, who had wanted to interrupt all treatment because she suffered too much, had spent them with her beloved son and her ex-husband. The latter, who will have definitely been marked by the death of the women in his life and who today lives with the ghosts of Romy, Mireille and Nathalie, thus remembered his last moments, in the newspaper “Bunte” in 2021: “J was aware. I knew she was going, I knew she had decided. She thought there was no point in being here when there was nothing more we could do. And I told her that she was right… And that I would be unhappy afterwards when she was gone. We didn’t say a single word. We sat across from each other. I looked at her. I saw her die”.
