Charlotte Gainsbourg’s marriage proposal to Yvan Attal
Although they have been a couple for almost 35 years, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Yvan Attal have never married. The actor proposed to Serge Gainsbourg’s daughter in 2013 before abandoning the idea.
But what we know less is that the actress more recently proposed to Yvan Attal. The teams of C to you have thus rebroadcast a sequence of the show where Yvan Attal speaks precisely about this iconoclastic marriage proposal from Charlotte Gainsbourg
“She came like that, it came out suddenly and she said I have something to say and she said to me I want to get married and we still haven’t gotten married, that It’s been a few months already.“

The reason why the marriage did not take place
After the broadcast of this sequence, everyone laughs on set and Anne-Sophie Lemoine then questions Charlotte Gainsbourg about this marriage proposal: “So is it serious or not?“. The actress replies, a little distraught, “No, we left it there. No, since then we haven’t gotten married.” Then, amused by this anecdote, she remembers…”I made my request on my knees but I didn’t understand that we don’t kneel while we only put one knee on the ground to make our request (…) I did like pray.”

But the actress ends up explaining why she ultimately did not marry Yvan Attal, and the reason is very sad…. “It’s because I wanted both of our mothers to come“. As a reminder, Jane Birkin, the mother of Charlotte Gainsbourg unfortunately passed away on July 16, 2023.
