Coppola lives in Paris. She described her love for the city and her favorite places there, "The Palais-Royal, the Tuileries Garden, the Musée d'Orsay. You can tell I love the city, right? It's a filmmaker's dream there; the colors are beautiful!" On November 28, 2006, Coppola gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Romy, who is named in honor of her brother Roman. The child's father is Thomas Mars, lead singer of the French rock band Phoenix. Coppola first met Mars while producing the soundtrack to The Virgin Suicides.
