His supposed companion was immediately taken into custody pending an investigation by investigators. Born August 11, 1962 in Paris, Ari Boulogne is the son of German singer Nico. Unfortunately, the one who was only a young woman when she became pregnant did not have the chance to take care of her son. With her success in New York, the actress therefore asked Edith Boulogne, Alain Delon’s mother, to take care of it.
Edith Boulogne flew to New York to bring back his grand-son. As soon as she laid eyes on him, she recognized Alain Delon’s face and brought him up with his companion, Paul Boulogne. The latter adopted him in 1977 and gave him his surname.
