Is Brigitte Bardot's Son, Nicolas Married? Meet His Wife, Ann, Their Four-Decades Bond And Children

Brigitte Bardot, the iconic French actress and animal rights activist, died on December 28, 2025, at the age of 91. Following her passing, there has been a growing interest in her personal life, particularly her four marriages and her relationship with her only son, Nicolas-Jacques Charrier. Brigitte and Nicholas did not share an ordinary mother-son bond like most people; instead, they had an extremely troubled relationship, marked by estrangement and legal battle. Despite being a product of a broken marriage, Nicolas grew up to be a decent man and a loving family person. Here's everything we know about the 65-year-old's current family, following the demise of both of his parents.

Who is Nicolas-Jacques Charrier's wife, Anne-Line Bjerkan?

Anne-Line Bjerkan is a former Norwegian fashion model. She is primarily known to the public as the only daughter-in-law of French film icon, Brigitte Bardot. Anne-Line Bjerkan established herself as a fashion model in the early 1980s. Her modeling career frequently took her to international markets, where she met Nicolas-Jacques Charrier. While she was active in the fashion industry at the time, she largely stepped away from the public spotlight after her marriage to focus on family life in Norway. Unlike her mother-in-law, Brigitte Bardot, Bjerkan has maintained a very low profile.

Nicolas-Jacques Charrier was raised by his paternal grandparents in France; however, he later moved to Norway to distance himself from the public eye. There, he met Anne-Line Bjerkan. He was instantly smitten by the fashion model and started hanging out with her. They dated for about four years before marrying in a private ceremony in Norway on September 27, 1984. Notably, Nicolas did not invite his mother, Brigitte Bardot, to the wedding due to their estranged relationship. Eight years later, during Brigitte Bardot's visit to Norway in 1992 for her own wedding to her fourth husband, Bernard d'Ormale, she met with Nicolas and Anne, marking a brief period of contact.

Nicolas-Jacques Charrier and Anne-Line Bjerkan are proud parents of two children

Nicolas-Jacques Charrier and his wife, Anne-Line Bjerkan, have two daughters, Anna-Camilla Charrier Bjerkan and Théa-Josephine Charrier. Anna was born in 1985, which makes her 40 years old as of 2025. She currently lives in Oslo, Norway, and works as a lawyer. Nicolas and Anne's younger child, Théa, was born in 1990, making her 35 years old as of 2025. Théa-Josephine Charrier reportedly resembles her grandmother, Brigitte Bardot, physically. Anne-Line Bjerkan and Nicolas-Jacques Charrier have maintained a private relationship since their dating phase, primarily residing in Norway to avoid the public spotlight surrounding Nicolas's mother, Brigitte.

Nicolas currently works in Norway as a network engineer, and Anne might have continued her duties as a homemaker. There are no reports on her current whereabouts or whether she has returned to working. Nicolas and Anne have three grandchildren. Their first grandchild, Anna's son, was born in February 2014. Brigitte Bardot noted in some interviews that her three great-grandchildren live in Norway and do not speak French.

What led to Brigitte Bardot's estrangement with her son, Nicolas-Jacques Charrier?

Brigitte Bardot's estrangement from her only son, Nicolas-Jacques Charrier, stemmed from her negative feelings toward motherhood. Following her 1962 divorce from her second husband, Jacques Charrier, Brigitte did not seek custody of their son. Nicolas was raised by his father and paternal grandparents while Brigitte focused on her career and animal rights activism. In her memoir Initiales B.B., she described her pregnancy as a "nine nightmarish months". Brigitte also confessed to physically attempting to induce a miscarriage and even attempted s**cide shortly after Nicolas' birth.
