Girlfriend / Boyfriend / Spouse

Brigitte Bardot has dated –

  1. Luis Miguel Dominguín – Brigitte is reported to have had an affair with legendary Spanish bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguín.
  2. Terence Stamp – Bardot went on a blind date with English actor Terence Stamp in the 1960s. However, the date didn’t go well as they struggled to communicate with each other due to a lack of a common language.
  3. Jimi Hendrix – Some reports allege that Bardot had a steamy fling with rock musician Jimi Hendrix. They had first met at an airport in Paris and would have sex at the Heathrow airport hours later.
  4. Roger Vadim (1950-1957) – Bardot met French film director Roger Vadim in 1950 when she was a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl, who dreamed of being a ballet dancer. The start of their affair was pretty intense as Roger would write about her devouring sexual appetite because of which she used to hold a mirror during lovemaking. However, when her father barred her from meeting him, she believed that she had lost him. But in December of 1952, they got married. From the very start, he was obsessed with making her a sex symbol and was passing her half-naked pictures to the agents and talent scouts. His obsession finally proved to be his downfall as Bardot started having an affair with Jean-Louis Trintignant, who was her co-star in Vadim directed And God Created Woman (1956). Their affair was quite scandalous as they were making love while shooting for the movie (a rumor, which Vadim did nothing to refute for the publicity of the movie). Also, Trintignant was a married man. Vadim accepted her affair as he famously quipped that she is ruled by passion. He continued mentoring her but their marriage came to end in 1957.
  5. George Baker (1955) – Brigitte had another extramarital affair with English actor George Baker. They had met at Pinewood studios in 1955 while shooting for their respective movies. This affair lasted about 6 weeks as she returned to France after wrapping up the shooting of Doctor At Sea.
  6. Jean-Louis Trintignant (1956-1958) – Bardot’s affair with Jean-Louis Trintignant apart from being steamy was also very unstable. Their time together was complicated due to his persistent absence due to his military service. Also, she had started seeing French musician Gilbert Bécaud. Just like the start of their relationship, the end of their relationship also caused quite a scandal. After their breakup, heartbroken Bardot suffered a nervous breakdown. She had tried to commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills.
  7. Marilyn Monroe (1956)
  8. Sacha Distel (1958-1959) – She was romantically involved with Sacha Distel between 1958 and 1959.
  9. Jacques Charrier (1958-1962) – Brigitte recovered from her heartbreak by getting in a relationship with actor Jacques Charrier. And, by the time, they got married in June 1959, she was already pregnant with his son, Nicolas-Jacques Charrier, who was born in January 1960. In 1962, Bardot’s second marriage had come to an end. Her son was raised by Charrier’s family and she would maintain sporadic contact with him until he reached adulthood.

  14. Gunter Sachs (1966-1969) – German photographer Gunter Sachs started courting Brigitte in the grandest way imaginable. He had got a helicopter to drop hundreds of roses on her house in Côte d’Azur. His wooing certainly helped as they got married two months after the start of their relationship.
