The Stunning Transformation Of Sofia Coppola

After divorcing Spike Jonze and breaking up with Quentin Tarantino, Sofia Coppola found love with musician Thomas Mars. Mars, who was born in Versailles, is the frontman of the French indie band Phoenix. The pair first met on the set of “The Virgin Suicides” when Mars lent his musical talent to the film.

It’s unclear when the couple officially began dating, but they have worked together on a number of projects over the years, with Mars contributing his music to Coppola’s films “Lost in Translation,” “Somewhere,” “The Bling Ring,” and “The Beguiled.” “It’s hard to differentiate the work from the private life, but I’ve always felt a really strong connection watching her movies,” Mars shared with Dazed in 2017.

In 2006, Coppola and Mars welcomed their first child, a daughter named Romy, and, in 2010, Coppola gave birth to their second child, daughter Cosima. “I’m always asking working mothers questions,” Coppola told People in 2010. “I’m trying to figure it all out because I feel like I’m just learning.”

In 2011, Coppola and Mars tied the knot in a small ceremony in Southern Italy where Coppola’s grandparents grew up. Several famous Coppola family members were in attendance, and, of course, Francis Ford Coppola walked his daughter down the aisle.
