Comedian Gad Elmaleh Reveals Unsuccessful Foray into Online Dating
Sunday 6 April 2025, by
At almost 54 years old, the Moroccan-Canadian comedian and actor Gad Elmaleh is in search of love, and he doesn’t hesitate to try dating apps.
"I have no embarrassment and no shame in saying that I have put myself on a dating app with a lot of humility," Gad Elmaleh said during his interview with Isabelle Ithurburu, on the TF1 show 50’Inside. "Did it work?" the journalist asks him. The comedian answers in the negative. "I was sent jokes. Women with a lot of humor who told me ’how much do you want Brad Pitt’," he detailed. People didn’t think it was Gad Elmaleh himself.
Very curious, the journalist asks him if he was still a heart to be taken. "It’s funny that expression has always made me laugh ’heart to be taken’," he declared. The father of Noé will specify: "No, I would like to. But the work has been done to be available, open to welcoming that love."
Elmaleh has shared the lives of several famous women. After an idyll with Marie Fugain, the comedian was in a relationship with actress Anne Brochet. Following this union, the young woman gave birth to a son in November 2000, named Noé, who welcomed his first child with his partner Johanna Marques in January. After their separation, the comedian tries to heal his wounds with dancer Aurélie Dupont from 2002 to 2006. The therapy really didn’t work. The comedian lives a story with actress Nora Arnezeder from 2008 to 2009, then with journalist Marie Drucker from 2009 to 2010.
In 2013, Gad Elmaleh is in a relationship again. His sweetheart is Charlotte Casiraghi, the daughter of Princess Caroline. The couple had a little boy, Raphaël, in December 2013, before separating a few years later.
