Sandrine Kiberlain made a surprising confidence about her private life. The French actress revealed that she was in a relationship with Yvan Attal
Young love. Usually discreet about her love life, actress Sandrine Kiberlain revealed in an interview with Society magazine that she had maintained a relationship with Yvan Attal, now in a relationship with Charlotte Gainsbourg for more than 30 years. The two met on the benches of Cours Florent, a Parisian theater school.
The one who was president of the 45th Cesar ceremony in 2020 is kept quiet about this relationship and did not explain the reasons for their separation. But Sandrine Kiberlain still delivered on an episode that marked her during her relationship with Yvan Attal. As a very young actress, she applied for the Conservatory and it was her lover at the time who gave her the line for her exam. Together they perform a scene from Woody Allen’s comedy Annie Hall.
“Yvan was not taken to the Conservatoire, but he quickly broke into the cinema, he was one of my first fiancés, I was next to him when he got the César [celui du meilleur espoir masculin pour Un monde sans pitié en 1990, ndlr]. I even fell out of my chair”, moved the actress in the pages of Society magazine.
Two former lovers who have remained friends
A relationship that was not kept secret but that everyone had since forgotten. Later, the two artists found themselves in the film Les Patriotes in 1994, a feature film by Eric Rochant which was a turning point for the career of the actress since she was nominated for the César for best hope. Most recently, they shared the screen again in Lisa Azuelos’ comedy My Baby in 2019.
The love ceased but through their friendship. Actor Yvan Attal is happily married since he has been in a relationship for over thirty years with Charlotte Gainsbourg, even though they never married. For her part, Sandrine Kiberlain has had several long relationships with well-known personalities. She shared several years of her life with actor Vincent Lindon, notably appeared in the film La Loi du Marché (2015), Rodin (2017) or Titane (2021), They married in 1998, five years after they met, and had a little girl in 2000 before separating several years later. Last I heard, she was in a relationship with French comedian and animator Edouard Baer (Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra). They even made the cover of Paris Match together in 2015. But no one knows if their love lasts forever.
