WHO ARE THE SOLÉ CHILDREN? THE INSIDE SCOOP ON FRENCH FILMMAKER'S MANY OFFSPRING...^ Louis Solé at Cannes Film Festival 2018
We all know the bright eyed Louis Solé as a sweet, creative man who has made himself a household name, but to many he is a father. As a young man, Solé dabbled in acting, and was considered one of France's early heartthrobs.

Like the Mick Jagger of French film, Solé had his fair share of girlfriends and groupies that ended in various different pregnancies. His oldest child, who is now 37 and a mother of two, Ottilie Solé.

Unlike some of her sibling's mother's, Ottilie's mother is not famous, and in fact a teenage sweetheart of Solé's whom he split from just two years after his first daughter's birth. Ottilie did a few movies in her early twenties, but went on to host her own talk show in Paris, where she lives with her daughter's Manon and Quincy.
Sole's second eldest, Jean-Luc Solé is a successful 34 year old male model who lives in London, England, where he grew up with British actress mother Wednesday Carroll.

While Louis Solé is known for his inability to hold a relationship for very long, he recently reconnected with his youngest three children's mother Clara Bourgoin, a famous French actress who met Solé starring in the 1990s movie that brought him to fame, Céline.
Their first child, Romilly Solé, is currently 29 and planning her wedding to Manhattan based Filmmaker Harry Wilhelm, one of her father's prodigies. The pair have been together on and off for just shy of 8 years and plan to tie the knot in this year in Paris. Romilly has a successful modelling and acting career and lives between Paris and Manhattan.

The second youngest, Valentine Solé, is somewhat of a mystery to the general public of her own volition. She has made a few public appearances over the years, accompanying her father to very few events and her mother or sister to fashion shows, but she stays very much out of the public eye.

The young beauty turned 24 in December, and though she bears an uncanny resemblance to her model sister and mother, appears to have no plans to join the industry.
The youngest Solé sibling is 12 year old Eliot, who has already started his acting career in a few of his father's films, as well as playing Angelina Jolie's son in a new movie set to come out next March. He is what is said to have brought his parents back together after their split following Valentine's birth.
