On Friday, April 17, Nadia Farès passed away at the age of 57 in Paris after being found unconscious in a swimming pool. She leaves behind her two daughters, Shana, 24, and Cylia, 21, from her previous marriage to Steven Chasman. Farès had lived a dream life in America for eighteen years before returning to France. In January, she had opened up about her experiences in an interview with Gala magazine.
Farès and Chasman, the father of her children, had a whirlwind romance that transcended borders. They moved to Los Angeles together after falling in love in Normandy, where they met at Luc Besson’s chateau. The couple shared a special bond, allowing their children to grow up in a privileged environment. After four years, they decided to separate but remained on good terms, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong family bond.
Farès had fond memories of her time in Los Angeles, where she lived among famous neighbors like Omar Sy, Dany Boon, and Amanda Sthers. She described their casual gatherings and shared a WhatsApp group. Eventually, she sold her house before it was destroyed in wildfires, a decision she was grateful for. Farès later moved to Montmartre in Paris, near her friend Claude Lelouch, and hinted at a new relationship with a non-French man.
The news of Nadia Farès’ passing has saddened many, and her life story continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
