Personal Life

In 1999, Coppola married director Spike Jonze, whom she had first met in 1992; they divorced in 2003.

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. They have since collaborated on Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette and her fourth film Somewhere.

On December 10, 2009, Mars confirmed that Coppola was pregnant with their second child. A second daughter named Cosima was born in New York City on May 18, 2010.

Coppola and Mars were married on August 27, 2011 at her family's villa in Bernalda, Italy.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.
    John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
