Disappearance of Gaspard Ulliel: who is his companion Gaëlle Pietri, mother of their son Orso?

The world of cinema is in mourning. Comedian Gaspard Ulliel died on Wednesday at the age of 37 after a serious skiing accident. The actor who won the César in 2017 for his role in Just the end of the world by Xavier Dolan was a popular actor appreciated by French cinema. In the spotlight since his debut at the age of 11, he was very discreet about his private life.

Since 2013, he shared the life of Gaëlle Pietri, a model spotted in Corsica, his island of origin, by the prestigious agency Elite international which launched the careers of Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford or Naomi Campbell. The beautiful brunette has worked for many brands and appeared in several television commercials such as Carte Noire, Bourjois and Nivea.

However, she has always deliberately avoided the catwalks. “This job is […] restrictive for the girls who parade for the designers, because it is absolutely necessary to keep the line, even to be skinny as has been the trend for a few years”, she confided in an interview with Corsica Morning in 2011.

The young woman who dreamed of an artistic career in music crossed paths with Gaspard Ulliel in 2013. The couple made their first public appearance in December of the same year at the Marrakech festival. If they have walked many red carpets together, the lovers have always been discreet about their private life.

Together, they had a little boy, Orso, born in 2016, whom they raise out of sight, even if the model sometimes posts a few photos of the child whose face she carefully hides.

Very taken by his role as a father, Gaspard Ulliel had decided to slow down the pace of filming. “It’s a huge upheaval”, he confided to Madame Figaro in August 2016 about paternity. “What was extremely important yesterday seems ridiculous today. Fatherhood brings you back to something very concrete, fills a void you weren’t necessarily aware of, gives you a reason to live”had admitted the actor who had just tried his luck in Hollywood again with Moon Knightthe new Marvel series that we will see in March.
