Brigitte Bardot is a name which is sure to provoke reactions, whether it is through the films she made, through her life and activism later on, or through the statements she holds on politics without any hint of concern about what she may have achieved or what public opinion may be. It is no different now, and the name is starting once again through online updates which have stated that the legendary actress is dead at 91 years of age. With these headlines circulating, the spotlight turned to Bernard d'Ormale, Bardot's fourth husband and longest-lasting companion. Although Bardot herself has been living out of the spotlight for several years, d'Ormale has consistently played an active role in her latest chapter in life, sometimes speaking on her behalf during times of public outcry. Who is Bernard d’Ormale, Brigitte Bardot’s Fourth Husband?Bernard d’Ormale is a French businessman who entered the life of Brigitte Bardot in the early 1990s. The two met in 1992 and began a relationship at lightning-fast pace. The couple decided to marry within a few weeks and opted to do so through a private ceremony to avoid drawing unnecessary publicity. This was because d’Ormale was quite a shy person and Bardot was now yearning for some privacy after a long period of being under intense scrutiny. Their marriage was to be the longest one in Bardot's life. It brought stability to her life, which she had never experienced in her previous marriages. Also at the same time that they met, there was a reconnection with her estranged son, which d’Ormale later attributed to the calmness introduced into her life with his presence in her life. Compared with all her previous husbands, d’Ormale kept out of the limelight and was hardly seen in public. D’Ormale is also known for his political connections. He was previously an advisor to Jean-Marie Le Pen, known for his role in French extreme-right-wing politics. Over the years, Bardot has also increasingly shown her support for the same extreme-right-wing politics in France, later supporting Marine Le Pen, which sent her into the headlines due to some rather offending statements. It is these common ideas that further strengthened the association between the two. The latest viral incident was caused by reports of Brigitte Bardot’s illness and apparent death. The concern was fueled by a previous incident where she had a health scare in 2023, where she had difficulty breathing, and paramedics had to be called to her residence. d’Ormale was quoted to have said she was fine and only had problems because of the heat. But amidst all the rumors, Bernard d’Ormale is still a rather private person, known not for public appearances but simply for being her ever-loyal companion through the years. Either during health scares or during the years he stood by Bardot during her controversy-laden career, he has always stood by her with quiet dedication. Amidst the swirl of interest again surrounding Brigitte Bardot’s personal life, there is likewise no denying that the husband role that d’Ormale has found himself playing is certainly not the most glamorous one.
