Brigitte’s painful relationship with her son Nicolas-Jacques Charrier was appeased.

On January 11, 1960, Brigitte Bardot gave birth to Nicolas-Jacques Charrier. Brigitte Bardot’s son and only child, born from her relationship with the actor Jacques Charrier, this child were desired only by his father.

“I did not want to give birth to an additional human being. I think there are too many on Earth. And they scare me”

At the time, the words used to describe her pregnancy were very hard:

“It was like a tumor that had nourished me, that I had carried in my swollen flesh, thinking only the blessed moment in which we would finally rid it”

I never believed in blood ties. Since then, Brigitte Bardot has finally changed her mind. The appeasement, finally. Fifty-seven years after the birth of her son Nicolas, Brigitte Bardot finally got back to him.

I was afraid of babies. Sometimes you just have to give time to the weather.
