An unlikely couple: Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton

Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton? Well, it would seem so! The unlikely news has been reported and confirmed by the French press.

A new relationship between old friends

Just as John Leguizamo's character said in 'Moulin Rouge:' "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return." This seems the case with these two Hollywood veterans.

Their love is no secret

The actress (1964) and the director (1958) appear to be in love and they also seem to have no problem showing their love to the world.

Revealed by French journalists

'Paris Match' was the news outlet that presented the couple of the year to the world.

Photos of the couple together

Paparazzi of Paris Match were able to snatch some pictures of the famous couple in the streets of Paris. They were walking in an embrace. The situation may already be normal to them, but for the general public, it is something to get used to.

It began in October 2022

Until now, Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci have been quiet about their relationship. Paris Match claims they have been together since October 2022.

Cupid, Lumière and the stage

The spark between them was ignited at the Lumière Film Festival in Lyon (France), where the filmmaker got an award and Monica Bellucci handed it to him.

Chemistry arose in the audience

And in case the crush did not occur on stage, fate wanted the couple to also sit next to each other during the gala. Without knowing it, we saw here the foundations of what today is a passionate romance.

They met in Cannes

Of course, it should be noted that Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci have known each other for much longer. They never worked together, but they met at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. At that time, the meeting was somewhat casual, and, in addition, they each had a partner.

Past marriages

At the time, Monica Bellucci was still married to Vincent Cassel, the father of her two daughters, Deva and Léonie. The couple separated in 2013.

 

No (known) partner since 2019

Subsequently, the Italian actress had a relationship with the artist Nicolas Lefebvre, from whom she would separate in 2019.

And these two? They seemed like the perfect couple...

For his part, Tim Burton's life seemed forever linked to Helena Bonham Carter. The Hollywood gothic couple par excellence was perfect for each other, had two children, and then suddenly got divorced in 2014.

Two previous marriages

Previously, the filmmaker had already passed the altar twice, once with the German artist Lena Gieseke, and another with actress Lisa Marie, between 1992 and 2001.

Discreet about their private lives

Both Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci did not have any known partners or romances in recent years. And if they had, they were successfully discreet about it.

What's next for this power couple?

Now that they have taken the step of making their relationship public, the world wants to see them together on a red carpet. There should be multiple occasions to do so in 2023.

Upcoming projects

While Tim Burton has yet to release the second season of the successful 'Wednesday' (2022), Monica Bellucci has several projects coming up, such as the series 'Radical Eye: The Life And Times Of Tina Modotti' and the films 'Siccità' and ' Mafia Mamma.'

The couple of the year (for now)

Be that as it may, we have a new couple of the year, and the feeling, aside from that of surprise, is that everyone likes it a lot. Great job by Cupid in France.
