Actress Vanessa Paradis marries French director: report
PARIS, July 1, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Actress and singer Vanessa Paradis has
married French director Samuel Benchetrit, according to a report by magazine
Le Parisien.
Wearing a cream-coloured ruffle dress with flowers in her blonde hair,
Paradis married Benchetrit at the town hall in Saint-Simeon, east of Paris,
the report said.
Photographs on the website of Le Parisien showed a smiling Paradis leaving
the town hall arm-in-arm with Benchetrit, wearing a navy suit, as wedding
guests threw confetti over the couple.
The small ceremony was attended by a few dozen guests, including Paradis’
19-year-old daughter Lily-Rose Depp, born during her 14-year relationship
with American actor Johnny Depp which ended in 2012, the report said.
Paradis and Benchetrit, both 45, made their relationship official in
August 2017.
The French singer and actress began her career as a model before becoming
a huge film and music star in France.
Paradis has two children with Depp, Lily-Rose and son Jack, but the couple
never married.
