Frenchwoman Vanessa Paradis got married for the first time at the age of 45. Now she is happy with her beloved man Samuel Benchetrit. But how many men, disappointments and wanderings there were before that! Florent Pagny, Lenny Kravitz, Benjamin Biolet, Johnny Depp… The personal life of Vanessa Paradis , who recently celebrated her 50th birthday, was filled with sharp turns. But it was these turns that brought the famous singer and actress to where she is now.
How was the personal life of Vanessa Paradis
Undoubtedly, one of Vanessa’s most famous relationships is with Johnny Depp . They were together for 14 years, but never legalized their relationship. In addition, a lot of interesting things can be told about Paradis’ personal life. True, Vanessa for a long time could not boast of a happy female destiny.
Vanessa’s first serious relationship began when she was only 16. Then the singer already knew what fame was, because her composition Joe le Taxi created a sensation among listeners. Vanessa was blinded by success, and her eyes sparkled with feelings for the 27-year-old singer Florent Pagny. Young Vanessa told her parents that she was now independent and could take care of herself. Without thinking twice, Paradis ran away with her lover Florent. They lived together for three years. But a common passion for music did not unite them, but only separated them. Pagni was not as successful as Vanessa. Envy appeared in the relationship . In addition, Florent was very jealous of the girl’s fans. They parted ways on such a negative note.
Vanessa was further building her career when Lenny Kravitz burst into her life . The singer and producer became Paradis’s second great love. In their relationship, it all started with work. Lenny was supposed to produce Vanessa’s album in America. For this, the performer went overseas. True, I was only going to stay there for a few weeks, but ended up staying for six months. It didn’t even bother the lovers that Kravitz was married to Lisa Bonet at the time. They divorced a year after the affair with Vanessa began. Then Kravitz and Paradis dated for another four years. Nothing good came of this. The singer admitted that Vanessa simply appeared nearby at the most inopportune moment.
Oh Johnny
Interestingly, it was Lenny Kravitz who introduced Vanessa to Johnny Depp. She left Lenny for Johnny. Oh, what began then. Vanessa received a lot of negativity. All because millions of women were in love with the young, successful and handsome Depp. They were jealous of Vanessa , criticized her, especially for her appearance, and sincerely did not understand what Johnny saw in her.
Nevertheless, everything was going well for the couple. Vanessa got pregnant . First she gave birth to a daughter from Johnny, and then a son. However, everything indicated that even after the appearance of common children, Depp was not going to get married . Proud and independent Vanessa had no intention of dragging the actor to the altar by force either.
In public, the couple looked very happy. They have repeatedly emphasized that they do not need an official marriage at all. This is a formality that will not affect their relationship in any way. But time passed, and the blooming Vanessa faded more and more . She and Depp’s daughter had health problems. Against this background, Johnny himself became problematic – he drank. People around the couple began to whisper that Vanessa also often kept her common-law husband company.
All this influenced the fact that the singer ceased to have the charm that so attracted others. Depp probably noticed this too, so he rushed to exchange Vanessa for the young and ambitious Amber Heard . We have no doubt that many years later the actor definitely regretted this.
The same one – Samuel Benchetrit
There is no need to rush things, because Vanessa Paradis did not meet her future husband immediately after breaking up with Depp. There were also disappointments, for example, in the person of the musician Benjamin Biolet. It seems that the man was charged with a sporting interest, and Vanessa became another tick on his list . Later, the ladies’ man left Paradis for her friend Anna Mouglalis. Apparently, that’s where the women’s friendship ended. But then Vanessa repaid Anna in kind.
When Paradis met writer and screenwriter Samuel Benchetrit, many did not believe in their relationship. After all, Samuel recognized only one love – actress Marie Trintignant . She was much older than the guy from a poor family, but this did not bother him. Samuel loved Marie with the most sincere and devoted love. But the actress left him, exchanging him for the “bad guy” Bertrand Kant. Bertrand turned out to be really bad. One day, intoxicated with jealousy, anger and alcohol, he beat Marie. So much so that the best doctors in Europe had to fight for her life. The woman was not saved.
The tragedy greatly crippled Samuel Benchetrit, because he still loved Marie. He couldn’t forget her. By the way, they say that it was because of Benchetrit’s message to Marie that Bertrand Kant flew into a rage and beat the woman. After the tragedy, Benchetrit tried to move on with his life, tried to enter into a relationship. But it turned out badly. They say that in order to forget a woman, you need to write a novel about her. This is what the writer did. “Marie and I’s story is not over. She’s still with me ,” Samuel said a few months before meeting Vanessa Paradis.
By the way, returning to the coin with which Vanessa repaid her ex-friend Anna. It was with Anna that Benchetrit had a relationship after Marie. Paradis’s friend even gave birth to a child for Samuel . But when Benchetrit met Vanessa, his world turned upside down. It seems that the man was able to forget both Marie and Anna, the mother of his daughter. And all because of the new bright and strong love for Vanessa.
It’s amazing how, after everything they experienced, Vanessa and Samuel found each other and created a quiet haven for themselves. In 2018, they announced their engagement. And a few months later they played a modest wedding. “All I need is love,” Vanessa said. And, probably, she finally found her – the real one.
