She has been passionate about painting since a young age. “Our professions are complementary, but we have two totally different worlds”, had confided Daniel Auteuil in the columns of Paris Match in 2018 before saying: “Aude never cares about what I do until it’s finished.” It is abroad that the artist finds his inspiration.

Daniel Auteuil’s secrets about his age difference with his wife Aude Ambroggi

The age difference that Daniel Auteuil has with his partner Aude Ambroggi does not pose a problem for him. He thus confided to Libération in July 2023: “There is no age for feelings”, before adding with humor: “We are the same age but I don’t know which age”. However, the actor didn’t always think that way. The age difference with his partner questioned him at the start of the relationship. He thus revealed: “At the beginning, there were two years of a kind of waiting. And then, one day, we say to ourselves ‘deep down, we don’t care’”.

In 2022, he had already confided to Paris Match: “At the start, faced with the age difference, we have a form of lucidity and we say to ourselves: no, no, no. But life prevails. Coming across the right person is extraordinary luck,” before stating: “It was her and it was me, at the right time. I can’t say that the stories before weren’t perfect, but surely one or the other of us wasn’t ready…” A beautiful life lesson that proves that love has no age.
