  • Meiwenn has very openly talked about their relationship in interviews & many of the films she has directed incorporate autobiographical aspects.

    Her being very open about it is also the impression I got.

    she talked about how they knew eachother for about a year before she really fell in love with him and they began dating, which puts her at 13 (12 plus a year of knowing each other).

    Okay thank you. It’s unfortunate that these things are so hard to find, but I’ll take your word for it then.

    My personal opinion is that they got married after she was already pregnant

    This part seems to be firmly established. Every report I saw says marriage at the end of 1992, birth in January.

    had likely been intimate for years prior to the marriage at 16. I think the story that he waited until she was 15 comes from the international push back they received after luc became famous and people found out about the relationship.

    That sounds plausible.

    Thanks for sharing!


  • Including a 15 year old he started seeing when she was 13, who he left when she turned 21.

    Some more detail: That’s Maïwenn, born 17. April 1976. They married at the end of 1992, when she was 16 and a half, and in January 1993 at 16 and 9 months of age she gave birth to their daughter Shanna Besson. They then divorced in 1997, apparently because Luc Besson left her for Milla Jovovich who was the lead actress of his film The Fifth Element.

    Various articles claim that they met when she was 12 and started dating when she was 15, but none cite the source for their original meeting time or beginning of the relationship, neither do the French or German Wikipedia articles. The English one links to this paywalled article so I can’t verify.

    Can I ask where you saw the claim that they started seeing each other when she was 13?
