After French icon Brigitte Bardot's death at age 91 was announced December 28, 2025, fans of the model and actress took a closer look at her personal life. While Bardot was best known for her film career and animal rights activism, her personal life also made headlines. Bardot was a mother to one child, a son named Nicolas Charrier who was born in 1960 while she was married to her second husband, Jacques Charrier. By her own admission, parenthood wasn't Bardot's cup of tea - she was unapologetically open about her ambivalence toward motherhood in her memoirs and in some media interviews.
