The courts of Roland-Garros returned to their excitement this Sunday, May 24, marking the start of the 2026 edition of the Parisian tournament. Like every year, the stands attract tennis enthusiasts as well as celebrities who come to enjoy the show. And among the faces noticed on the photocall,
Arié Elmaleh has not gone unnoticed.
Gad Elmaleh’s brother appeared alongside a very special guest: his son Isaacnow aged 15, with whom he shares a disturbing resemblance. Even before the first exchanges on clay, many personalities had responded to the invitation of the prestigious sporting event. Between actors, presenters and influencers, the photographers’ flashes were already crackling. Tom Villa, Estelle Denis and even Lénie posed in front of the lenses, as did Arié Elmaleh, visibly delighted to experience this father-son moment under the Parisian sun.
â Arié Elmaleh: his crazy resemblance to his son Isaac
It’s hard not to notice how much Isaac looks like his famous father. Born in July 2010, the teenager shares the same features with him, the same discreet smile and an already very assertive appearance. With little media exposure, the young boy rarely appears in public. This outing at Roland-Garros therefore naturally attracted attention. Isaac is the son that Arié Elmaleh had with the actress Virginie Ledoyen, with whom he also shares a daughter, Amalia, born in April 2014.
Since their separation, the two actors seem to have found a peaceful family balance around their children. A harmony that the father readily claims when he talks about his daily life. In several interviews, Arié Elmaleh insisted on the importance of maintaining good understanding with Virginie Ledoyen in order to move forward together on educational issues.
His relationship with Virginie Ledoyen
The actor, seen recently in Les Traîtres on M6, also harbors a certain curiosity about the artistic future of his children. In October 2025, when asked about Isaac and Amalia, he felt that they probably had a creative streak and admitted that seeing the next generation assured would make him happy. An idea welcomed with greater caution by Virginie Ledoyen.
The actress explained on RFM, in 2024, that she would never discourage her children from choosing cinema, while reminding that these professions require passion, patience and resilience. According to her, the artistic world imposes ups and downs, between long periods of waiting and more intense phases. A particular universe, which she knows perfectly but which she wishes neither to idealize nor to demonize auprès d’Isaac and Amalia. For now, far from the spotlight of the seventh art, Isaac seems above all to enjoy the pleasures of his adolescence. And this remarkable appearance at Roland-Garros, on the arm of a particularly proud father, will have offered a rare glimpse of a complicit and discreet relationship, sheltered from the media tumult.
