Yvan Attal (French pronunciation:[ivɑ̃atal]; Hebrew: איוואן אטל; born (1965-01-04)4 January 1965) is a French actor, scriptwriter and film director.[1]
Attal's longtime partner is Anglo-French actress-singer Charlotte Gainsbourg whom he met on the set of the 1991 film Aux yeux du monde.[4] Gainsbourg and Attal are not married, and Gainsbourg has attributed her reluctance to marry to the fact that her parents never married. Attal publicly proposed to Gainsbourg on 19 June 2013 during an awards ceremony when he received the French National Order of Merit.[5] In April 2014, Attal confirmed that they were still unwed with no plans to marry.[6]
Attal has three children with Gainsbourg.[7][8] In 2014, following the death of Gainsbourg's sister, photographer Kate Barry, Attal and his family relocated to New York City.[9]
