They were beautiful beyond measure, and they loved each other deeply. Here’s the full story behind Alain Delon and Romy Schneider’s long—and tortured—courtship.
For a brief moment, they had it all. But in 1964, after four years together—documented in endless tabloid coverage—golden couple Romy Schneider and Alain Delon split. Delon ended things with a note, a few scribbled lines that closed the door on what had been a fairytale romance to rival anything the actors had portrayed on screen.
Constant tabloid rumors about Delon’s infidelity—always documented, frequently denied—did not help. In 1962 the singer and Andy Warhol muse Nico had a child, Ari, believed to be Delon’s. The actor never recognized the boy as his own, but the child was later adopted by Delon’s mother. The couple weathered these early storms, and Delon gave Schneider—whom he called puppelé, or “baby doll”—an engagement ring.
