A long and tidy love life in the middle of the celebrity is not given to everyone but rare personalities however enjoy this luxury. This is the case of Daniel Auteuil. The actor, whose 72 springs are celebrated on January 24, shares the life of Aude, a Corsican artist met in 2003. Married three years after their love at first sight, the lovebirds become parents of Zachary in 2009. Since their roads are are crossed, nothing seems to threaten their balance in love. And unlike Iñaki Urdangarin, Daniel Auteuil does not seem ready to put a knife in the contract.
In 2018, alongside the release ofIn love with my wife, one of the feature films he has made, the filmmaker evoked his life as a couple with Aude: “I have loved women passionately, he confided to Paris Match. But Aude is something else. I loved her before I fell in love. There is something light in his gaze that immediately touched me. I understood very quickly that I missed his lightness, that’s how I knew I loved him.“
Daniel Auteuil and his wife Aude also have one thing that not everyone has: complementarity. If they do not exercise the same trades, each can guide the other in his professional life without encroaching: “Our professions are complementary but we have two totally different worlds. Aude never minds what I do until it’s over. Me, I’m not going to tell him to put a little more red or blue in his paintings… But thanks to his job, I learned a lot about the frame and the light.”
Aude is not the first woman with whom Daniel Auteuil has shared his life. The actor was in a relationship with Anne Jousset, the mother of his eldest daughter Aurore, born in 1981. He then met Emmanuelle Béart on the set of the film Sweet love. During his eleven years of romance, the couple married and welcomed Nelly, born in November 1992. He then fell in love with Marianne Denicourt, an actress 16 years his junior. Like what, it sometimes takes several years before finding a shoe that fits.
