French icon Brigitte Bardot was seen for the first time in years on her 89th birthday. Yes, that Brigitte Bardot, the woman who defined ‘sultry’ and ‘It girl’ for an entire generation. For those scratching their heads or shaking their fists at Father Time, yes, 89! But let’s rewind a bit, shall we?
This dazzling starlet has been married to her steadfast and ever-loving husband, Bernard d’Ormale, for a staggering 31 years. Don’t worry—delving into the juiciest bits of this secret union is right up our alley.
News flash—our beloved film icon, who recently had quite the health scare, and her husband walked down the aisle in a secret wedding. It seems clandestine nuptials are all the rage.
Brigitte Bardot, French legend and all-around screen goddess, has lived an uber-colorful life, making waves in the entertainment industry long before the term ‘It girl’ was coined. From acting to activism, she’s done it all.
Playboy, that ever-so-subtle magazine, placed our fave French blonde at the top tier of the sexiest women of the 20th century. Shocker! Some say she’s the ultimate ‘It girl’—their words, not mine. Let’s not forget those signature pouty lips and sensual charisma that landed her at number four on Playboy’s coveted list.
Beyond her obvious appeal on the silver screen, Brigitte has made a name for herself as a fierce animal rights activist. Raising temperatures and raising awareness—she’s a multitasker! With a stellar career and a long-standing marriage to husband Bernard, BB, as she’s affectionately known, is truly remarkable.
Secret wedding? Check. Apparently, Brigitte and Bernard tied the knot in August 1992—a sneaky move that only a handful of friends knew about. This little wooden church in Norway was the place of their covert ceremony, and it’s been blissful ever since. Happiness does love company, and her friends say she was over the moon back then.
Of course, gossip-mongers doubted she would ever settle down again. Ha! They wed in a cozy wooden church that screams charming simplicity. She now resides in a luxury 10-bedroom mansion in Saint-Tropez. Modest living, right?
Bernard, her knight in shining armor, has been unwaveringly by her side. Even during health scares, he reassured a worried public. French newspapers sent everyone into a panic in 1992 when they reported she had overdosed on sedatives. Bernard came to the rescue saying, “Brigitte was overwhelmed with fatigue and took too much medication to sleep…no stomach pumping involved.” Phew!
A spokesperson from the clinic where Brigitte received care confirmed Bernard’s words. Fast forward, and another health episode struck our beloved icon earlier this year.
Bernard recently updated everyone that Brigitte had trouble breathing. Luckily, first responders arrived in the nick of time, gave her oxygen, and stayed to ensure she was well. Age and that pesky weather—an intense heatwave had her air conditioning in La Madrague acting up.
Amid all the hullabaloo, a tabloid dared to claim Brigitte was in the ICU. In true Bardot fashion, she set the record straight with a handwritten note: “I want to reassure everyone. I am doing very well. The press caused a scandal with an illness that happened to me…” Points for transparency!
Despite the health scares, Brigitte was seen out and about recently—a rare public appearance to mark her 89th birthday. Picture this: a mini white van chauffeuring her from La Madrague villa to La Garigue. Blonde hair elegantly tied back, with a few wisps intentionally framing her legendary face, and sunglasses shielding her eyes—what a vision!
Her rare cameo comes many moons after she was last seen in public and a few months following emergency services’ visit to help with her breathing issue. Keeping everyone on their toes, that’s our Brigitte.
So there you have it—Brigitte Bardot, the icon who knew how to disappear as magically as she appeared. Her life has been nothing short of enchanting, and at 89, she’s reminding us that legends never truly fade. Here’s to wishing her more health, happiness, and secret car rides!
