Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton’s relationship history
Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton first crossed paths in 2006 during the Cannes Film Festival in France. This meeting took place while they were in long-term relationships with other people.

However, Bellucci confirmed their relationship several months later in June in an interview with Elle France. “What I can say … I’m glad I met the man, first of all,” she said. “It’s one of those encounters that rarely happens in life … I know the man, I love him and now I’m going to meet the director — another adventure begins.” One month prior to this Bellucci was cast in Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
Later in July 2024, the couple attended Rome’s Globo d’Oro Awards, where Bellucci was honored with a lifetime achievement award.
