Sophie Marceau: Who are the men who have marked her love life?

So when Sophie left him for someone else after seventeen years of marriage, he was devastated. That was in 2001. « After our breakup, I stopped everything. I was grieving. The word ‘actress’ made me turn pale, » he admitted in the pages of the weekly magazine. Even today, the wound is still raw. But Sophie is a passionate woman who follows her feelings. When she played a Bond girl on the set of The World Is Not Enough in 1999, her heart skipped a beat for Jim Lemley, the producer of this American blockbuster. For him, she gave up everything, and from this romance, her daughter Juliette was born in 2002. « This relationship mainly served as a journey for me, » she explained to Psychologies Magazine. « Above all, it allowed me to become more independent, to assert myself, to have more confidence in myself. »

And once again, it was for someone else that Sophie Marceau ended her relationship with her American partner. « Honestly, I haven’t had a breakup that went well. It hurts too much to detach yourself from someone you’ve loved, because you really feel like you’re losing a part of yourself. It’s not insignificant, » she revealed at the time. But she chose this man for two reasons. First, for her feature film as a director, since she directed Christophe Lambert in The Disappearance of Deauville, before being charmed by this man who loved witty remarks and was always kind. From 2007 onwards, they captivated the celebrity world, always appearing very much in love. So when the couple announced their « amicable separation » in July 2014, it came as a surprise to everyone. « I always knew when to end a relationship, » Christophe Lambert explained to Gala magazine. « Don’t wait until you’re at your wit’s end, don’t try to repair what can’t be repaired; it’s better to admit that you’re no longer on the same wavelength. »
