Alexandra Lamy and Jean Dujardin formed a leading television couple for ten years. Their breakup, in 2014, was abrupt for fans and overexposed in all media. The two talk about their separation and then their divorce.
The comedy series One Guy, One Girl was all the rage on France 2 in the 2000s. Normal, she sketches the little quirks of the daily life of a couple who are both annoying and endearing, Jean et Alex. Or, in the city, Jean Dujardin et Alexandra Lamy, two performers for whom fiction meets reality and vice versa. Indeed, the two actors very quickly fell in love with each other before becoming a couple and then getting married. Ten years later, against all odds, ‘Chouchou et Loulou’ byOne Guy, One Girl divorce suddenly.
Alexandra Lamy: her love at first sight for Jean Dujardin
One Guy, One Girl brings together aspiring actors Alexandra Lamy and Jean Dujardin. In this hilarious series about a sweetly hammered but terribly natural couple, they keep their real names to embody their characters. Obviously, this intrusion of reality into a story that was initially purely fictional will sow discord.
Because both are a couple during the filming of‘One Guy, One Girl. And, inevitably, both will fall madly in love with each other despite their respective spouses. It was Thierry Ardisson, presenter of Tout le monde en parole at the time, who more or less spilled the beans. Yes, the coupleOne Guy, One Girl is in love in real life!
Alexandra Lamy and Jean Dujardin, an endearing star couple
Once the misunderstanding has been resolved, the respective couples separated, Alexandra Lamy and Jean Dujardin live out their love in broad daylight. Despite the side adulterin of their relationship, initially, the continuity of the adventures ofOne Guy, One Girl on television allows them to increase fanbase. The shortcom becomes cult, the star couple Lamy/Dujardin very endearing.
Un Guy, Girl will be broadcast between 1999 and 2003 for a total of 438 episodes! A record for a French series broadcast before the 8:00 p.m. news on France 2. The success of the series, based entirely on its two performers, launches a Chouchou and Loulou mania throughout France. To the point that the public completely ignores reality and fiction.
Alexandra Lamy talks about her ex-husband Jean Dujardin
Yes, just like Jean and Alex, in One Guy, One GirlJean Dujardin and Alexandra Lamy get married in real life. But unlike their heroes on screen, the Dujardin/Lamy couple separates. In 2014, a year after their separation, the two divorced. They leave fans of the series which has become cult orphans.
After a painful separation, especially for Alexandra Lamy, the magazine ELLE reports comments from her ex-husband, Jean Dujardin: “It’s nothing more and nothing less than the story of a couple who separates like anyone else, like any couple.” Their breakup comes abruptly after the worldwide success of The Artist for Jean Dujardin.
In 2019, in an interview with Paris Match, Alexandra Lamy says: “This story represents ten years of my existence. Why question everything? It would be a shame since we were happy.” In 2024, then remarried with Nathalie Péchalat since 2018, Jean Dujardin would have separated from her. The law of series?
