Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have a child called Marcel. Marion is in a movie about married spies with Brad Pitt called Allied due out in November. Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt. Marion is pregnant. The easy gossip here was to assume that Marion came between Brange which is what the lower tier tabloids and even Page Six jumped out with when news broke that Brange was done. As I’ve mentioned several times now, cheating is not the story but I understand why it would be the sexy gossip story, given how Brange began and how we’ve been collectively sustained by the Triangle for over a decade. In light of the latest developments, that’s probably the preferred story too.
However, again, Marion Cotillard has nothing to do with the breaking of Brange. But in reaction to mounting suspicion, Marion decided to clarify it herself on Instagram last night:
As she said herself, it’s not really been Marion’s style to address this kind of noise. It sets a precedent, because if you make a statement every single time, it compels you to have to make a statement every single time. And the sh-tty irony of it now is that if she had waited a few hours, she probably wouldn’t have had to make the statement at all. Because, well, you know. You’ve heard.
So, in happier news, Marion and Guillaume Canet, two of my longtime faves (it’s been a while since I watched Jeux d’enfants, you?), are expecting their second child. As she said quite clearly in her post, he is the man of her life. Please. Love has had a tough week. Can we just be grateful that it still there for Marion and Guillaume?
