Brigitte Bardot is remembered for her significant contribution to French cinema and her activism for animal rights. The famous pop culture icon passed away on December 28, 2025, at the age of 91, leaving behind one child—a son, Nicolas-Jacques Charrier.
Bardot’s fans may recall that she had a complicated and strained relationship with Charrier, whom she had with her former husband, Jacques Charrier. The latter passed away on September 3, 2025. Shortly after the birth of her son in January 1960, Bardot admitted that she never wanted to be a mother and was willing to do anything to terminate her pregnancy.
Hollywood Life has gathered all the necessary information about Nicolas, Bardot’s only child, below.
As previously mentioned, Bardot made it clear that she did not want to have children. In her autobiography «Initials B.B.: Memoirs», - the actress of «Viva Maria!» described her pregnancy, comparing it to «a cancerous tumor» growing inside her.
«I looked at my flat, slim belly in the mirror as if it were a dear friend over whom I was about to close the lid of a coffin», - she wrote in one passage of her book. Elsewhere, Bardot noted that she tried to terminate her pregnancy, but abortions were illegal in France at the time. Therefore, she attempted to hit herself in the stomach and sought out morphine, according to The Independent.
Bardot also remarked that she would have preferred to give birth to a puppy rather than her child.
«I am not made to be a mother», - Bardot continued in her memoirs. «I am not mature enough—I know it’s terrible to admit, but I am not mature enough to take care of a child».
Bardot and her former husband welcomed their son on January 11, 1960. At that time, paparazzi were trying to photograph her pregnant belly, so Bardot gave birth at home.
According to several sources, Bardot fell into depression after the birth of her son and attempted to take her own life. After her divorce from Charrier, he was granted sole custody of their son.
Charrier and his late father sued Bardot over her statements in the memoir «Initials B.B». According to People, a Paris court ordered Bardot to pay about $ 40,000 in damages.
Despite the disagreements with her mother, Bardot stated in 2018 that she and her child had a good relationship and communicated from time to time.
Throughout his life, Charrier developed an interest in music, learned to play the piano, and began writing songs. He then ventured into the modeling business.
According to several sources, Charrier studied at the University of Paris, where he majored in economics.
Despite a difficult childhood, Charrier is now married to Norwegian model Anne-Line Bjørkan. The couple married in 1984 and are raising children Teia and Anna together.
