Joaquin Phoenix, the frightening Joker, and a teacher from the French Star Academy, as a couple? Well yes, even if it’s hard to imagine it, it’s a situation that really happened! So we reassure you, it is not Armande Altaï or Raphaëlle Ricci, but Aria, who taught yoga to the students of season 5 and season 6, when she had no only 21 years old.
A few years later, in 2010, the pretty blonde born in Romania but originally from the South, met the actor through his record company, Interscope, as she sings in a band. It’s love at first sight between the two during an evening. After being paparazzed together in the streets of Los Angeles, Aria had also agreed to talk about their story.
“We are together, we speak in English. There was an Interscope party (his record company, editor’s note) in January and I met him there. He’s a very talented person. He’s writing a movie about musicals so at first it was for work and then we had a flash“, she had told on NRJ.
The young woman had, at the time, been noticed by the singer Bono at the Crazy Horse, where she was dancing. A meeting that took her to Los Angeles, where she lived and met her lover, the brother of the late River Phoenix, who was recovering from depression and was thinking of quitting the cinema. Their story unfortunately did not last but the young woman continued in her passion for yoga.
Today very followed on Instagram, she made dozens of live during confinement, adapting its programs for all levels. She has also rebuilt her life with … a yoga teacher, Gus Forristal, with whom she is the happy mother of two little boys, Calvin, 2 years old and Sunny, born last December.
