A couple who have long made the French dream… In December 1961, it was behind the scenes at the Olympia in Paris that Sylvie Vartan and Johnny Hallyday met for the first time. A little less than four years later, it was on April 12, 1965 that the couple said 'I do' in Loconville in Oise. On August 14, 1966, the two artists became parents for the first time following the birth of David Hallyday.
If Sylvie Vartan and Johnny Hallyday fascinated the greatest number, it was after fifteen years of marriage and numerous separations and reconciliations that the couple finally divorced on November 5, 1980. “She was the one with the most character. She was the only woman he respected and feared at the same time, because she dominated him. Also the only one who could talk to him about music at the same level”, had indicated Sacha Rhoul, in the book Johnny Hallyday and his guardian angels.

Sylvie Vartan: “Between us, çit has été burning right away”
In the book Johnny Hallyday and his guardian angels, Sacha Rhoul, had explained: “She was everything to him: his wife, his friend, his mistress. When things weren't going well with Sylvie, nothing was going well. His whole life, his thing was to win back Sylvie's love. At the time, all the love songs or desperate songs were bottles of the sea, messages for Sylvie”.
In 2019, for Point de vue, it was with emotion that Sylvie Vartan estimated: “Our life has been incredible. I have the impression that no one will be able to relive such moments. It was crazy, intense, overwhelmed, overwhelmed, by the events. Between us, it was burning right away. It was fire, all the time (…) Since he left, I realize that we experienced something exceptional”.
