Not me, sorry tatianacressida!
I didn't know a thing about Gad Elmaleh before he became involved with Charlotte but I knew instinctively that it(the relationship) would not go the distance. I could not think of one thing the two of them had in common and the sixteen year age gap seemed to hang over them like a sword.
I have since become a huge fan of his...he is funny, extremely charming, hard working and down to earth. I completely understand why Charlotte was drawn to such a man. But as a life partner? Not so much.
Charlotte Casiraghi and Dimitri Rassam seem so completely right for one another. Same intellectual and artistic interests, same elite education and privileged upbringing, both raised by glamorous, strong, single mothers, both have reserved temperaments, both have a common bond of early childhood sadness caused by the traumatic loss of their fathers, and they are from the same age group/generation. I don't know Charlotte obviously and I am not privy to the details of the reasons for her rupture with Gad, but I do suspect it was at least partly because because Charlotte is so high maintenance. I don't mean that in a material, greedy way at all. But she seems to require a lot of "togetherness" in her relationships and a lot of emotional nurturing. Gad comes from a background where he had to work hard for everything he had. I think he loved Charlotte but he was not willing to put in the kind of time and effort that she requires to feel secure in a relationship. He is reportedly fixated on pursuing his dream of conquering America and becoming a big star in standup comedy in the US.
The reverse seems true of Dimitri, who is evidently willing and able to be the sort of Prince Consort that Charlotte wants. .Since the relationship became public last spring they have never been apart, in fact there was a report in the European press that they actually coordinate their schedules to minimize separations. He adores her little boy. He seems besotted with Charlotte. He is handsome. He is already a successful and wealthy man in his own right.
How could Charlotte have resisted such a guy after all she's been through romantically? She'd be crazy to even try!
I agree with Biri. Unless Dimitri has really pulled the wool over our eyes, he's The One!
