The first man who was talked about as the new husband of Monica Bellucci was the actor Gilles Lelouch, well known to fans of French cinema. This versatile artist has starred in thrillers, melodramas, action films, comedies, and he is also a successful screenwriter and director.
Lelouch is eight years younger than Bellucci. He is French, but his mother was Irish, and his father was Jewish-Algerian. Such a mixture of bloods endowed Gilles with an incredibly memorable charismatic appearance. After graduating from a private drama school in Paris, he quickly made an excellent acting career. He has three nominations for "Cesar" and an award at the Cannes Film Festival. As a director and screenwriter, Lelouch is highly regarded by Luc Besson himself.
The actor's personal life has always been stormy, but, like a real gentleman, he kept it a secret. It is known for certain only about the affair with actress Melanie Doughty, which lasted 11 years and ended in 2013.

In the spring of 2018, the tabloids received new food - at the Rome Film Festival, everyone could see a ring with a weighty diamond on Bellucci's ring finger. They started talking about the engagement. Soon, in several interviews, Monica confirmed that a new man had appeared in her life. “I have been dating a man for a long time, and everything is fine,” said the actress, but did not name her lover.
However, the engagement never took place. Moreover, in March 2019, after the Chanel show, Bellucci went to the paparazzi by the hand with a completely different man. The new lover of the recognized beauty is 36-year-old Nicolas Lefebvre.
Lefebvre is not only a very effective man - he is a former model, but also a very gifted and wealthy person. In Paris, Nicolas owns his own art gallery, he is an artist, set designer and set designer.
Lefebvre's homeland is a commune in the Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt.

After returning, he worked for several years with the company Drouot, which specializes in organizing auctions and selling art objects on the art market. In 2006 he opened his own gallery. In 2009, Nicolas lost his mother. He was able to sublimate deep feelings from this loss into creativity. It was from this time that they started talking about him as an artist.
