Married to Claude Lelouch since June 17, 2023, Valérie Perrin has been in love with the director since 2006. If she is invited on the show A Sunday in the countryside on December 22, 2024, the 57-year-old novelist had also made rare confidences about their marriage to journalists from C to you in September 2024. Obsessed with the idea of filming every scrap and every moment of his life, the 87-year-old director made no exception to the rule on his wedding day, quite the contrary. He decided to film the happiest day of his life by involving his guests.
She said: “When you live with Claude Lelouch, you know he's like that. So we adapt, we write novels, he makes his films… And we are very happy, I think. After happiness, everything is relative. But it’s true that we are very lucky“. Another funny memory of this day which will remain forever engraved in their memories, the lovers, or rather the groom, also wanted to do something supposed to bring him luck. “He said 'yes' thirteen times on our wedding day“, confided Valérie Perrin who added that this number was her husband's lucky charm.
He's the person who knows me best in the world
Very in love with his wife, Claude Lelouch spoke of her in very flattering terms when he was a guest on the show As an aside on Canal +. “He is the person who knows me best in the world. She knows me because she accepts my faults. His judgment is essential, I was never so afraid when I showed him the montage of Finally (editor's note: his latest film, presented during the Venice Film Festival in September 2024). When I saw her in tears, hugging me very, very tightly, she reassured me“, he revealed.
