Thierry Lhermitte in a relationship with his wife for 50 years: how did they meet?

I am still in love with her”declared the actor to Paris Match in 2016. The two soul mates met in the early 1970s, when the actor, now 71 years old, was dating actress Valérie Mairesse. It was love at first sight between them and after a few years of living together, they welcomed their first two children, Astrée and Victor.

“Love is not unconditional” : the secret of love that lasts according to Thierry Lhermitte
A life cut off from the world which suited Hélène Aubert perfectly who, although she lives with one of the best-known faces of French cinema, prefers to remain in the shadows. She also had a brief career in cinema as a sound engineer and then editor. She was also seen in some of her famous husband’s films. In The Bronzed first where she participated in the famous chest painting competition alongside Gérard Jugnot’s wife. Then in Tanned people go skiing where she plays Martine, Popeye’s wife.
The secret to the longevity of Thierry Lhermitte’s couple? The principal concerned explains it very simply. “Love is not unconditional. Love is conditional, that’s my theory (…) We learn in our first love stories that it is very conditional. So that it can be negotiated and that It’s temporary. It can last a lifetime, but it can stop all the time. When we understand that it’s conditional and temporary, we can live with it.”explained the actor Dinner for idiots to Nikos Aliagas in 2022 in 50′ Inside.
