Bruni quickly became a darling of the tabloids, thanks to her relationships with famous men like Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, Donald Trump, Kevin Costner and Vincent Perez. She became famous with the words that that she is easily bored by monogamy, and that “love lasts a long time, but the burning attraction between men and women – just a week or two.

In 1998, Bruni leaved the catwalk and dedicated her time to her other great passion – singing. Her first album “Somebody said to me” (2002) enjoyed a huge interest across Europe. In 2007 she released her second album. However, in 2001 she did something more important: she gave birth to her son, Aurélien.
