Married to Masha Novoselova, from 2010 to 2018, mother of his daughter Darya, born in 2011, Dimitri Rassam was also the husband of the daughter of Caroline of Monaco, Charlotte Casiraghi, from 2019 to 2024. Became the father of Balthazar with her , born in 2018, the director – who has just launched the Yapluka fund to finance blockbuster films anchored in European culture – spoke about his love stories, and especially his breakups, with journalists from Paris Match.
“We cannot call it a failure when we have had a strong love story and have wonderful children. But we are altered by what we experience, and questioning is virtuous. In our family, romantic, friendly and professional relationships, it is necessary to revisit what we have achieved and what we have not achieved. We have so little control. You have to accept itr”, he confided, evoking his past idylls.
Resolved to always maintain hope, he adds: “Fairy tales do not exist in reality, but we must continue to believe in great love stories. In a marriage, we know that there will be trials, but when we are young, we are not fully aware of them. I can question my behaviors, but there isn’t much I would do differently in terms of romantic choices. In a relationship, it is necessary to manage to preserve what is beautiful, whatever happens. My strongest anxiety is not the fear of failure, it is the fear of experiencing nothing“.

However, the producer who is currently working on The Cursed Kings no longer sees love as he used to. “With age, we change our view of love. I no longer believe in total and permanent fusion in a couple“, indicates the one who has been fatherless since childhood. Looking back on his story (and his breakup)painful” as our colleagues write) with Charlotte Casiraghi, he concedes: “I lost control“, without going into detail.
