We not only join these congratulations, but also tell about the most interesting facts from the life of a French businessman who won the heart of the Russian model.
1. In fact, Natalia won the heart of Antoine. He himself admits that when he first saw her in 2008, he literally lost his speech. "Natalia does not even remember this meeting. And my jaw dropped when I saw her. What I mean: of course, she is a very beautiful woman, but also surrounded by a special aura", - he recalled.

Then the model was still married to her first husband Justin Portman, and Arnault was not free, so he made no attempt to win her. But after the separation of Vodianova and Portman, the Frenchman realized that this was fate, and began to look after the Russian star. The first meeting of the couple took place in Paris in 2011 and passed ... on a wooden bench. "We could not go anywhere together, so we just met on the bench. We sat and talked. We knew that if we went somewhere together in Paris, then the whole world would know about it, " - Vodianova said.
