Ingrid Chauvin and Philippe Warrin said yes to each other on October 12, 2024 in Lège-Cap-Ferret, a ceremony attended exclusively by Paris Match. The two lovers shared with us the memory of their meeting.
Real treasures sometimes emerge from archives. In May 2007, Ingrid Chauvin appeared in the pages of Paris Match on vacation under the Seychelles sun, divine naiad, sexy as can be. However, it was not an easy task for this very anxious, morbidly shy and modest woman. “Philippe Warrin is one of the rare photographers who gave me confidence,” she confided to us at the time, happy with the result. This Philippe is great! He sublimes me. Since then, I have nicknamed him Copperfield, like the magician! » Philippe Warrin-Copperfield became Mr. Warrin-Chauvin on Saturday October 12 under the autumn sun of Lège-Cap Ferret, where the actress has her family ties.
It’s often said that love is a matter of timing or destiny and these two know something about it. They met in 2004 during a photo shoot at the La Trémoille hotel in Paris. He is a photographer for the Sipa agency and does not even know who this actress revealed to the public by the series “Women of the Law” is. He searches the Internet for some marbles. A star photographer, he traveled the world and was lucky enough to have the most beautiful of his creatures in front of his lens. That day, he didn’t expect to be struck by lightning.

When Philippe sees Ingrid for the first time, he takes “an explosion”
“When Ingrid came into the room, I had an explosion,” he told us a few minutes into the festivities. I still have this image of her, kneeling on the carpet, in front of her open suitcase, showing me the clothes we were going to take for the session.” He is haggard but manages to work. Absolutely nothing will happen between the two. She is in a relationship with an actor, he married with two young daughters, Léa and Luana – a last little boy named Vasco will complete the siblings a few years later. Philippe was born from an “impossible love” between his mother France, an elegant model, and his father “who was married but had forgotten to specify it”. Not having had a father, he promised himself that he would never, ever abandon his family in the future. But the seed was planted.

During a shoot in the Seychelles, he secretly thinks: “it’s my double”
For another shooting, the photographer and his model meet in the Seychelles, for the famous photo session mentioned above. “It was the moment when we knew who we were for each other, except that it was not possible,” remembers the actress. “I told myself it was my double. I think I was his,” the groom says. The years pass, they lose sight of each other. The attraction is still there but carefully put away in the drawer with the memories. Until the reunion in 2021…
For his part, Philippe Warrin has been separated from the mother of his children since 2018. Ingrid will experience the ordeal of divorce a little later. The separation from director Thierry Peythieu, father of little Tom, a miracle baby born in 2016, was made official at the end of 2020. It was experienced as a liberation but the divorce was stormy. At this point, she no longer envisions men in her life. “I was preparing to end up alone,” she remembers, “I was going to dedicate myself to being the best mother possible but that’s all.” And no, that’s not all! Heaven still had other gifts in store.

Disturbed by the ordeals, the actress appears very emaciated. “Catherine Raud-Ponsoda (communications manager at TF1, Editor’s note), our little Cupid, encourages me to take photos to show people that I am well. Given my condition, I told him that there is only one photographer with whom I could pose without fear: it’s Philippe.” The machine is running. The artist takes his train ticket to Sète, heading to the filming studios of the soap opera “Tomorrow Belongs to Us”. The day before, Ingrid suddenly showed a fever of 39 and suggested canceling. “Philippe, so cute, tells me he’s going to take care of me. If I’m better, we take the photos, otherwise he leaves again. When he arrived on set, it was as if we had left each other the day before.” Here they are who will never separate again.
