Camille Cottin’s much-anticipated return to Dix pour cent on Netflix

The acclaimed comedy-drama that launched Camille Cottin to international fame is back in cinematic form. Fans will see her reprise the sharp, witty role of Andréa Martel in the film adaptation released on Netflix. The project arrives five years after the series ended.
Since the show’s finale, Cottin has expanded her career with films in France and projects abroad. Yet despite this public success, she has been careful to shield her private life from constant media attention.
Life beyond the spotlight: a partner far from showbiz
Camille Cottin has been with Benjamin Mahon de Monaghan since 2005. He is known for staying out of the public eye.
- Partner: Benjamin Mahon de Monaghan
- Profession: architect
- Together since: 2005
The couple prefers discretion, and Benjamin’s architectural career keeps him rooted in different circles than the entertainment industry. That distance from celebrity life suits them both.
Family life: two children and a private home
Cottin and her partner are parents to two children. They rarely share family details publicly.
- Son: Léon Gabriel, born in 2009
- Daughter: Anna Paloma, born in 2015
The actor has sometimes mentioned their household in interviews, but she maintains a firm boundary between public appearances and home life.
Benjamin Mahon de Monaghan — the architect who stays out of headlines
Benjamin’s profession is central to his profile. As an architect, he travels for work and designs homes in varying locations. This career path explains much of his preference for privacy.
He has selectively accompanied Camille to events, but public outings are exceptions, not the rule. Those rare appearances draw media attention precisely because they are so uncommon.
When the couple steps into the spotlight
Though usually discreet, the pair have been seen together at high-profile events.
- May 2024: Walked the red carpet at the Festival de Cannes.
- Later in 2024: Spotted together at Roland-Garros.
Such moments show a supportive presence at major cultural events. But Benjamin quickly returns to his private life after public outings.
Why Camille Cottin chose not to marry
Cottin and her partner are not married. She has openly discussed her stance on marriage in past interviews.
She once explained that marriage did not fit her idea of freedom. For her, the choice reflects a personal preference rather than a statement about commitment.
A brief on-screen cameo by her partner
Benjamin made a short appearance on camera in 2018. He played a DJ in the film Larguées, alongside Camille. The cameo was a one-off and reportedly brought him a lot of nerves.
The experience confirmed that his comfort zone is not the film set, despite the couple’s long-standing bond and occasional professional overlap.
Balancing public projects and a guarded private life
As Cottin returns to the Andréa Martel character, her partner looks likely to maintain his low profile. Their relationship shows a modern balance between a public career and a deliberately protected family life.
