To begin with, Marion Cotillard is not married but she has been in a long term relationship with French actor and director – Guillaume Canet. The couple met in October 2007 and since then rumors have been circulating that the two got married in a secret wedding. However, a reliable source revealed that the couple have not yet married.

Before entering into a relationship with MarionCotillard, he was married to the famous German actress Diane Kruger. The two married in 2001 but divorced in 2006.

On May 19, 2011, Guillaume and Marion welcomed their first child, a son named Marcel into the world. A few years later, the couple announced the birth of their daughter, Louise, on March 16, 2017.
