Personal Life
In 1962, during her second concert in Paris Olympia hall, Vartan met Jean-Philippe Smet, known as Johnny Hallyday. On 12 April 1965, they were married in Loconville. They had a son David Michael Benjamin, later known as David Hallyday. Johnny Hallyday and Vartan were the "golden couple" of their generation in France, and their marriage was among the most carefully watched relationships for the nation's publicity. However, as Hallyday openly preferred his pals to the parenting, they had disagreements and finally divorced on 4 November 1980. She is currently married to record producer Tony Scotti. They have adopted a young Bulgarian girl, Darina. Vartan is an aunt to Eddie Vartan's son Michael Vartan.
