Marilou Berry was born on 1 February 1983, the daughter of filmmaker Josiane Balasko (née Balašković) and sculptor Philippe Berry (né Benguigui), and the niece of actor Richard Berry. Her mother is of Croatian descent, whereas her father is of Maghrebi Jewish descent.[1][2] Uninterested in school studies, she left high school and enrolled at the Conservatoire de Paris.

From 2007 to 2010, Berry dated the actor David Rousseau.[3] In 2011, she began a relationship with the young entrepreneur Arnaud Schneider. They separated in January 2017.[4] On 9 June 2017, she was seen during the French Open, with her new boyfriend, Alexis.[5][6] In July 2018, she announced on her Instagram that she was pregnant with her first child.[7]

Life and career
The actress during the 2013 Cabourg Film Festival, for Queens of the Ring.

Berry made her first appearance on the screen at 8 years old in My Life Is Hell, a comedy directed, written and produced by her mother and co-starring her uncle, Richard Berry.

Berry has had several roles in films as a teenager who finds her salvation in music. As Lolita Cassard in Look at Me (2003), she was a girl crushed by the notoriety of her father, an author, while trying to get him to notice her singing talent. As Hannah Goldman in The first time I turned 20 (2004), she was the only girl in a traditionally all-male school jazz band in 1950s France.

Berry's most recent roles have been comedic, such as Once Upon a Time in the Oued and then Nos jours heureux (Our Happy Days), as well as in the upcoming The New Adventures of Cinderella.
