Alain Delon died on 18 August at home in France at the age of 88. The star of ‘The Swimming Pool’ and ‘The Leopard’ was famously a heartbreaker who left a trail of women in his wake. Many believe his love affair with fellow icon of the French New Wave, Romy Schneider, to have been the defining relationship of his life.
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 they’d portrayed on screen.
Constant tabloid rumours of 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 Alain’s. The actor never recognised the boy as his own, but the child was later adopted by Delon’s mother. The couple weathered these early storms, and Delon gave Romy – whom he called puppelé, or baby doll – an engagement ring.
