Brigitte Bardot's cause of death has been revealed by her husband, Bernard d'Ormale. Bardot died at age 91 on December 28, 2025, from complications related to an unspecified form of cancer, her spouse told France's Paris Match magazine in an interview published on Wednesday, January 7. D'Ormale told the outlet that the French former actress had dealt "very well" with two cancer-related surgeries in recent months before the disease "took her." "It slipped out two or three times in recent months, during moments of physical suffering, she would say, 'I'm fed up, I want to leave,'" d'Ormale said.
