Charlotte Gainsbourg and her children have been living in New York for several years. While Yvan Attal continues to go back and forth to pursue his career in France. So that the couple often finds themselves separated. A situation which is not always easy for the daughter of Jane Birkin.
In 2013, following the death of half-sister Kate Barry, Charlotte Gainsbourg has chosen to leave France to live in New York. However, even the couple she forms with Yvan Attal remains united, the latter often find themselves separated: she in New York where their three childrens continue their studies and he often in Paris where he develops his different artistic projects as an actor but also a director.
A situation that sometimes weighs on Charlotte Gainsbourg. “In practice, it’s complicated! Because Yvan works mainly in France. I can manage – as an actress, a film in general lasts two months, and not in a row, and then music is doable anywhere. I really like being able to enjoy Paris when I go back, but after being able to escape. I was already isolated in Paris, it’s part of my character, but I think I like to be even more isolated. And also strangely not to be at home, to be able to watch people live at home, “ thus entrusted Jane Birkin’s daughter at Marie Claire.
Yvan Attal had also confided in this subject in June 2018 in the show Tea or coffee on France 2. “This year, with the theater, it was very special. I lived and I still live for some time alone in the apartment which is less happy than when all my children are there, “ he then deplored. The latter hoped besides at the time, that this situation would not last more than “two years”, the time that their daughter Alice passes the equivalent of the baccalaureate. “The house is still Paris, what, don’t mess around, ” he also said … To hear Charlotte Gainsbourg speak of her desire for isolation, it is not certain that she is of the same opinion.
