Emmanuelle Béart unveiled this Saturday a rare photo of her eldest son, Yohann, 29, on Instagram. Far from the spotlight, the young man has a career as an anthropologist.
He is not often talking about him. At 29, Yohann Moreau, the eldest son of Emmanuelle Béart, leads a life a thousand miles from the cameras. This Saturday, May 3, his subscribers were able to discover a rare cliché of him, via his mother’s social networks, photographed in a winter and distant setting. A simple, but striking image, where you can guess in the young man’s clear look an obvious family.
Born from the relationship between the actress and David Moreau-director and half-brother of Patrick Bruel-Yohann Moreau grew away from cameras and red carpets. Today anthropologist, he devotes his life to the study of human societies and recently carried out field research in Tanzania, with the Hadzabé people. Through this photo shared on social networks, the actress pays a discreet tribute to her son and her choices. Far from the paths she took, Yohann follows hers with conviction – and a great discretion.

Emmanuelle Béart is the mother of three children, all born of different fathers, and each having followed her own path. Nelly, her daughter with Daniel Auteuil, works in cinema as a producer. Surafel, his younger son, was adopted in 2009 with his former companion Michaël Cohen. All, she said, are her greatest success. “Three children, three masterpieces,” she said in 2024, with a touch of self-mockery, but a lot of sincerity.
In her rare speeches on her life as a mother, the actress never seeks to do too much. She talks about her children as we talk about intimate joys, personal victories that nothing can tarnish. “I am very proud when my cadet has 15 out of 20 in French,” she said, smiling.
A mother in his own way
During an interview on France Inter last February, Léa Salamé questioned her on her role as mother. Was it rather severe, permissive, protective? The answer had disconcerted as much as amused: “They say Polish, my children … I don’t really know what it means. Maybe they don’t want to say Jewish mother, so they say Polish mother, “she launched in a laugh. An answer to his image: elusive, modest and tender.
If she speaks little about her children, Emmanuelle Béart discreetly watches over them in the spotlight. By publishing this portrait of Yohann, she does not seek to put it forward, or tell their story – she is content to show it, as he is: a free man, out of radars, faithful to his choices.
