Julie Depardieu has been sharing her life with singer Philippe Katerine for more than fifteen years. If their meeting had not foreshadowed such a beautiful story, the two artists are the happy parents of two sons: Billy, born in 2011, and Alfred, arrived a year later. Although the 52-year-old actress is now a happy mother, the desire for motherhood was not obvious. Before having children, the daughter of Gérard Depardieu hesitated for a long time to take the plunge. « Besides, I didn’t want childrenthe idea scared me. I didn’t think I was made for family life.» she confided during her recent visit to the set of What an era!

As her sons enter adolescence – Billy is 15 and Alfred is 14 – Julie Depardieu admits to still being afraid for them: “We always fear for our children.

At some point, things get done despite us.”.
However, if Guillaume Depardieu’s sister may seem to be very cool, she still says: “Afterwards, we have to force the children to work! It’s more and more difficult because mine tell me that they don’t care because there are spelling checkers.”. A real generational difference.
