This is the couple no one saw coming. Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci have formed a very discreet couple since October 2022, where they met at the Lyon Light Festival. They had never appeared publicly together until this Thursday, October 19, 2023: the 59-year-old actress and the 65-year-old director appeared hand in hand on the film’s red carpet Diabolik Chi Sei ? at the 18th Rome Film Festival.
On the red carpet, the couple appeared as happy as they were accomplices and above all made their relationship official for the first time to the general public. In August 2023, Monica Bellucci sang the praises of his new companion, detailing in the columns of Harper’s Bazaar Spain that he had found “a wonderful mind” and “a spectacular soul”.
