Why she absolutely wanted to adopt a child with the producer

This year 2024 marked for Sylvie Vartan, president of the Miss France 2025 jury, and Tony Scotti the fortieth anniversary of a trouble-free marriage, since their love at first sight through chance…

With I bow outSylvie Vartan intends to end her career in style. At 80, the singer hits the roads for the last time with a final tour. After that, the icon of French song will return home, to her home in Los Angeles, where she will spend happy days with the man of her life: Tony Scotti.

Tony Scotti: A restorative meeting for Sylvie Vartan

In 1981, Sylvie Vartan no longer believed in love. A year earlier, her divorce from Johnny Hallyday hit the headlines while fans had a hard time getting rid of this iconic… but tumultuous couple. Betrayed by the rocker, Sylvie Vartan moved to the United States to protect their son, David Hallyday, from the spotlight. It is in this painful context that the singer has an encounter that will change her life during a music festival in Tokyo. In front of her: Tony Scotti, an American actor and producer who catches her eye. And this, even if he was already married at the time of their meeting. “My first feelings always turned out to be right, so I trust my first impressions. Tony was married at the time, but I knew nothing could separate us.” remembers Sylvie Vartan in the columns of S Magazine. Three years after their meeting and the divorce from Tony Scotti, the singer and the producer married and moved into a large house in Los Angeles, in which they still live today.

Darina Scotti-Vartan, the child of happiness

And the happiness continues. In 1998, Sylvie Vartan and Tony Scotti adopted a little girl named Darina, born in Bulgaria. A particularly symbolic adoption for the singer of Bulgarian origin who had always dreamed of one day welcoming a child. “I knew I would miss out on my life with Tony if we didn’t have a child together, she confided to Gala. I had always wanted to adopt, I thought that life had spoiled me and that I could give love back to any child.” It was therefore pampered by her parents that Darina Scotti-Vartan grew up between France and the United States. After studying cinema in California, the young woman is now a sensation on Instagram, where she is followed by thousands of subscribers!
