Christian Clavier, a renowned French actor and director, is known for his candid reflections on life and his career. However, he prefers to keep his personal affairs private, sharing intimate details only with close friends.

Despite his popularity, Clavier has never been officially married. His long-term partner and fellow comedian, Marie-Anne Chazel, declined his marriage proposals twice, even after their nearly three-decade relationship. Chazel later admitted that she might have regretted this decision.

Clavier and Chazel met as teenagers in the late 1960s and co-founded the Splendid comedy troupe. They frequently played couples in films, including the popular “The Visitors” series. In the early 1980s, Chazel gave birth to their daughter, Margaux. After two decades together, Clavier and Chazel parted ways.

In the mid-2000s, Clavier began a relationship with makeup artist Isabelle de Araujo. They met during the filming of “The Corsican” in 2004 and have been together ever since. While some media outlets claim they have formalized their relationship, Clavier remains discreet about the details. He refers to Isabelle as his wife but avoids discussing their private life with journalists.

Clavier’s daughter, Margaux, was born in 1983 to him and his former partner, Marie-Anne Chazel. Unlike her parents, Margaux chose a different path, dedicating herself to humanitarian work. She regularly travels to underdeveloped countries to help those in need.
