Monica Bellucci surprised the world last June by confirming the rumors that had been circulating for months about her sentimental situation: her heart was busy again. Not by anyone; She, the actress, stated that she was totally in love with the film director Tim Burton, with whom she had started an unexpected romance.
A new relationship that came almost a decade after her divorce from French actor Vincent Cassel, with whom she was married for 14 years and with whom she has two daughters -Deva (18) and Léoni (13); and her relationship with the artist Nicolas Lefebvre. After a few unforgettable summer weeks, the actress confesses to the Spanish edition of Harper's Bazaar, where she occupies the cover for the first time and in which she praises her partner.
In the extensive interview, which the actress concedes as an example of "yesterday and today's icon", she reveals some details of her new romance, describing the director as a "spectacular soul" and a "wonderful spirit".
The couple tries to keep their relationship as private as possible, but they are aware that their profile as public figures could complicate things. "Fame is a double-edged sword, because it causes a lot of curiosity and can provoke mixed feelings," explains the actress, who ensures that when she is not working she tries to live as normal a life as possible.
After meeting more than 15 years ago at the Cannes festival, the actress and the director began dating after meeting again last October in Lyon, during the Lumière Film Festival. Despite the rumors, the actress did not confirm their relationship until June. "What can I say? I am delighted to have met him. It is one of those encounters that rarely occur in life ”, she confessed at the beginning of the summer to the French edition of Elle magazine, admitting that she loved and had “great respect ”for the director. “I know the man and I love him. Now I am going to meet the director, another adventure begins”.
The couple begins their first journey together in front of and behind the cameras, since Monica Bellucci is part of the cast of Beetlejuice 2, which these days continues its filming through the streets of London.
“I love this dream world where monsters are kind, as if we can transform our darkest aspects into something bright, forgiving,” explains Bellucci, about his partner's jobs and why he agreed to take part in the long-awaited sequel.
This relationship is the first publicly known to the famous director, who after breaking up with model Lisa Marie Smith shared 13 years of his life with British actress Helena Bonham-Carter, with whom he has two children, Billy Raymond (19 ) and Nell (16); and with whom he broke up in 2014.
