Forty-two years of living together commands respect, especially in an environment where love stories often have the same lifespan as a summer hit. Sylvie Vartan and Tony Scotti built a beautiful relationship that endures with joy. This Tuesday, June 2, the singer posted a video on her Instagram account to mark the occasion with a few sweet words in the caption: “Thank you for these 42 years of happiness by your side.” No big public declaration but a small touching message which says a lot about his still intact feelings.
In the images, the strawberry cake is colossal and topped with a heart where we can read “Sylvie – Tony, 42 years of Happiness†in golden letters while the two lovers strike a pose, take hands and kiss. The Bulgarian-French singer wears a white dress and a pearl necklace while her husband is in an impeccable navy blue suit. They smile like people who no longer have anything to prove or envy of anyone!
Their history has débuté au début des années 1980in Tokyo, during a music festival. At that time, Sylvie Vartan had just turned the page on her relationship with Johnny Hallyday with whom she had given birth to David Hallyday. After suffering the infidelities of her ex-husband, the American producer, Tony Scotti, crosses paths with her in Japan. It was love at first sight and three years later, they got married.
A family built in discretion, a life far from media noise
In 1997, their little cocoon expanded in a way that perhaps they had not anticipated long in advance. They adopted Darinaa 7-month-old little girl from Bulgaria which is Sylvie Vartan’s native country. An approach still carried out far from the cameras, without any resounding announcement, in the same spirit of modesty which characterizes their life together from the beginning. Darina is now 28 years old and the family remains united.
Tony Scotti is remained in the shadows throughout his wife’s careerwhich is no small thing when you’re married to one of the most iconic French singers of her generation. A professional producer, he always knew how to hold his place without ever trying to occupy that of the other. This kind of balance cannot be improvised in 42 years of living together.
Sylvie Vartan fans there, as always
The publication of Sylvie Vartan, 80 years old, wasted no time in making her subscribers react. Comments, each more warm than the last, poured in from fans who have been following the singer for decades NOW ! This couple seems to be a form of reassuring constancy for many people in a society where breakups constantly make the headlines. And if we were to look for an explanation for this longevity, perhaps part of the answer can be found in this video from June 2: two people who still look at each other with the same smile as on the first day, in front of a cake that is too big and a heart of gold.
