Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet got together in 2007, after they met in 2003 on a movie. When they first met, he was married to Diane Kruger. Kruger and Canet’s divorce was finalized in 2006, and one year later, he was with Marion. I always wondered if there was more scandal there, but the situation felt like business as usual for France, so whatever. Diane never really bad-mouthed Canet, nor did she ever cite Marion as one of the reasons for the divorce. Marion and Guillaume seemed happy together, and pre-pandemic, they were seen together regularly. They have two children – a son, Marcel, who is around 14 years old, and a daughter, Louise, who is probably around eight years old. Well, Marion and Guillaume are done!
Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have reportedly ended their relationship after 18 years together. The Dark Knight Rises actress, 49, and the French film director, 52, announced their separation to the Agence France-Presse news agency, saying the purpose of their statement was “to avoid all speculation, rumors and risky interpretations,” Associated Press reported Friday, June 27.
Without citing a reason for the breakup, the former French couple said they were separating by “common accord” and with “mutual goodwill.”
PEOPLE was unable to reach Canet for a statement, and reps for Cotillard did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Cotillard and Canet starred opposite one another in 2003’s Love Me If You Dare and began dating in 2007.
Given the lack of photos of them post-2019, I kind of wonder if they’ve been loosely separated for a while. Maybe they just stopped going out in public together in recent years, but I do wonder. Anyway, Marion is a very talented actress and a complete nutcase, but she never seemed to have a particularly messy love life. She seemed to really love him and they kept their relationship pretty private. It’s interesting that they even released an announcement, but there could be some other factor at play which we’ll learn sometime soon. Like, one of them has a new lover or something and there are photos in one of the French papers. We’ll see.

Oh boo… this is sad news. They seemed like such a good fit together and I really liked them as a couple.
They’ve been apart for a while so I wonder why make the announcement now?
Maybe brad pitt has something to do with it. There is a conspiracy theory that he is the father of her child. Another conspiracy theory is that brad is going to break up with ines soon because her contract ends at the end of the f1 movie promotional tour.
I won’t be surprised.
Cotillard denied it – understandably- but I 100% believe they had an on set affair re Allied.
A “theory” that you pulled out of your a$$. Cotillard’s daughter looks like Canet (unfortunately for her), she even got his squinted brown eyes, while her son is Cotillard’s spitting image.
Liz you don’t need to take it so personally. I didn’t come up with this, so i didn’t pull it out of my axx. This is an old rumor that I’ve come across a few times over the last few years. Calm down.
Brad Pitt’s abusive meltdown happened on the flight home from his film shoot with Cotillard. There were rumors of shenanigans between them. It tracks.
This is not true. They finished filming Allied in May 2016 and then Marion started shooting another film in France. Angelina filed for divorce 5 days after the airplane incident in September 2016, two months before Allied was released. Even Angelina denied the affair rumors, and the reason for their divorce is stated pretty clearly on court documents: Pitt beating her and their children. There’s a reason why all of their children dropped “Pitt” from their surname and don’t want anything to do with him (look up Pax’s 2020 Father’s Day message to Pitt!). The French tabloids are known for stalking and defaming Marion and they even hacked Canet’s phone, so an affair with Pitt is not something they would miss, and yet they were never spotted together. Every single female co-star that Pitt had was accused of having an affair with him while he was with Jolie. Marion was just unlucky to be his latest co-star when they did separate and got dragged into a scandal she had nothing to do with while she was pregnant.
Their chemistry in Love Me If You Dare, the film where they met, is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember seeing photos of Marion and Guillaume with their son when he was much younger. Their son was toddling/running away and Marion’s eyes were on him while Guillaume held her and kissed her, preventing her from attending to their child.
I thought, “What a d!€k. He can’t bear to have her attention on anything other than him, including their toddler child.”
Forgive me if my memory has filled in some things, but I still remember that feeling about Guillaume.
I think these may be the photos:

Cotillard and Canet met and became friends in 1997, not 2003. Diane Kruger cheated on Canet with Joshua Jackson, that’s not a secret anymore. Joshua told Conan O’Brien that his first date with Diane happened 2 years before they started dating. Her divorce from Canet was announced in January 2006, a few months later she got papped with Joshua in public for the first time. Do the math! their first date happened while she was still married to Canet. Diane has no reason to hate nor bad-mouth Marion, quite the opposite as she has publicly thanked Marion for dropping out of that awful movie 555 or whatever because she replaced Marion in that movie. They’re friendly enough to exchange emails, according to Diane.
Cotillard and Canet just shot a film together last month. There’s tons of photos and videos of them together post-2019, they were even promoting a film together in 2023.
Marion doesn’t have a real smile on her face in any of these photos. Is it him? Is it botox? Is she just not a smiler?
From this announcement I would bet at least one if not both have moved on & they want to get ahead of the speculation.
