PHOTO Monica Bellucci in a relationship with Tim Burton: tender gestures and great complicity, a rare appearance

It’s an event they wouldn’t have missed for anything in the world. On Monday January 15, 2024, the 75th Emmy Awards ceremony took place after a few months of postponements due to the American screenwriters’ strike. The guests therefore gathered at the Peacock Theater in the city of Los Angeles to cheer the most powerful American television programs of recent months. Among the talents who paraded on the red carpet, we notably note the presence of Monica Bellucci and her new companion, the fantasy director Tim Burton.

Relatively discreet by nature, Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton hide nothing of their love. Passing around the Peacock Theater, the lovers agreed to pose for the photographers while tenderly holding hands. For the lovebirds, every reunion counts. And for good reason, they seem rare, because of their very busy schedules, but also because of the geographical distance: she lives between France and Italy and he stayed in London, in England, not far from his ex-partner Helena Bonham-Carter and their two children, Billy and Nell, aged 19 and 15.

Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton, behind the scenes of their meeting

Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton appeared together for the first time at the Rome Film Festival. It was during another cinephile event, the Lyon Lumière Festival, that they met in October 2022. She gave him an award and they both experienced real love at first sight. “What I can say… is that I’m happy to have met the man, first of all, she explained to the magazine SHE. It’s one of those encounters that rarely happen in life…. I know the man, I love him, and now I’m going to meet the director, another adventure begins. I like Tim. And I respect Tim Burton enormously…“
