Past Stephanie of Monaco: soft electronics, erotic whispers and a collaboration with Michael Jackson
Before Stephanie of Monaco gave up glamor to live a golden Monegasque retreat surrounded by her children and granddaughter, she competed with her sister Carolina with a collection of
cool
boyfriends with well-known surnames such as Delon (Anthony) or Belmondo (Paul ). Estefanía ended up marrying her bodyguard, but before that wedding with Daniel Ducruet the princess
was about to go down the aisle
with another handsome and wealthy young man,
Jean-Yves Le Fur
, a French businessman who
died at the age of 59
due to of pancreatic cancer.
The engagement of Estefanía and Le Fur was announced in April 1990. The
rebellious princess
was finally settling down, the Grimaldis accepted the young real estate developer into the family, but the wedding did not take place because two months later the engagement was broken off because of the boyfriend's alleged
financial excesses
: the French press aired a past with several hookups behind him and the occasional scam.
Le Fur died on Sunday but the news was announced this Wednesday by his ex-wife, the
French actress and director Maïwenn
, through her Instagram account. "Jean-Yves Le Fur, the love of my life, the father of my son Diego and the stepfather of my daughter Shanna, passed away on Sunday morning in my arms and those of our son, under the protection of Frédérick, his older brother, and Jaky, his lifelong friend. We are all devastated," the statement reads.

After the breakup with Princess Le Fur, he became a producer for the television networks TF1 and Canal+ with several documentaries linked to the world of fashion. One of them focused on the
top models
of the time, such as
Carla Bruni, Naomi Campbell or Karen Mulder,
with whom he had a long relationship. He also maintained a close friendship with Kate Moss, to whom he was
best man at her wedding to Jamie Hince
in 2011.

Le Fur is not Estefania's only boyfriend with a dramatic end. In November 2022,
Mario Oliver,
with whom the princess had a passionate romance, was murdered by
robbers
in his mansion in Las Terrenas, in the province of Samaná, in the Dominican Republic.
He was 71 years old
and had a considerable fortune accumulated after running several
nightlife venues.
