Highlights

• Reports suggest that Daniel Day-Lewis and his son Gabriel-Kane have since developed a close relationship.
• Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis is pursuing his own acting career.

Once someone becomes a big enough star, their love life becomes tabloid fodder. For proof of that, all anyone has to do is look at the reports about how much Ariana Grande's ex-husband's life has changed since their divorce.

On the other hand, most modern reports about Daniel Day-Lewis focus on his method acting. That makes some sense since it is wild that Day-Lewis refused to shower for a role, and he almost died due to his method acting. However, it is amazing that most of Day-Lewis' fans don't realize he broke up with his longtime girlfriend once she became pregnant with his child.

Daniel Day-Lewis Left Isabelle Adjani After She Became Pregnant

After Daniel Day-Lewis and Isabelle Adjani dated for five or six years, their lives changed forever in 1994. That year, Adjani learned she was pregnant and informed her longtime boyfriend, only for him to have a remarkable reponse.

According to a report published by The Daily Mail, Adjani informed Day-Lewis that she was expecting it and he responded by breaking up with her. However, it is worth noting that The Daily Mail didn't quote Day-Lewis or Adjani as a part of their report.

However, there are a slew of other publications that have made the same claim. For example, The Standard reported that Day-Lewis broke up with Adjani in the same way. Back in 1996, The Independent also reported that Day-Lewis ended his relationship with Adjani after learning she was pregnant.

Ever since Day-Lewis rose to fame, he has had a unique image because of his famous commitment to his roles. What many people don't seem to realize, however, is that Day-Lewis has always had a unique lifestyle in ways that had nothing to do with acting.

According to a 1992 profile of Daniel Day-Lewis published by The New Yorker, he already had a tumultuous relationship with Isabelle Adjani . "For the last three years, he has been involved quietly, intermittently, but apparently intensely with the French actress Isabelle Adjani; rumors of a marriage and rumors of a breakup routinely surface, usually at the same time."

The reports about Day-Lewis breaking up with Adjani reflect the fact that the famed actor has an unusual lifestyle in another way. According to The Daily Mail, The Standard, and The Independent, the way that Day-Lewis broke up with Adjani was almost as noteworthy as when he did.

According to The Independent's report about their breakup, Adjani and Day-Lewis had a strange way of communicating before their breakup. Instead of just calling Adjani, Day-Lews reportedly would do things like send her sealed letters during their relationship.

If the reports are accurate, when Adjani reached out to Day-Lewis to inform him she was expecting, she chose a form of modern technology. Adjani reportedly faxed Day-Lewis the big news that they were set to become parents.

According to the reports, however, Day-Lewis didn't call Adjani or meet up with her to end their years-long relationship. Instead, if the reports are accurate, Day-Lewis broke up with Adjani by sending her a fax.

"He had a six-year on-off relationship with sultry French actress Isabelle Adjani, who later said he had dumped her by fax in 1995 when he found she was pregnant with his son."

In 2003, Day-Lewis spoke to The Guardian for a wide-ranging profile of his life. Partway through the resulting article, The Guardian's writer wrote about asking Day-Lewis how he felt about being shamed in the media following his split from Adjani.

"I want to ask him about it, but can't think of a tactful way of doing it. So I go for the blunt approach. How did he feel when newspapers reported that he had finished the relationship by fax and labelled him the world's biggest s**t?"

In response to that question, Day-Lewis didn't dispute that he broke up with Adjani via fax after learning she was pregnant. In fact, Day-Lewis has never disputed or confirmed those details. What Day-Lewis did say, however, was that he failed himself and his loved ones. Day-Lews also went on to talk about how being demonized in the media after his relationship with Adjani ended affected him.

"I knew at that time only too well what my responsibilities were, and in what sense I had failed myself and people that I loved and so forth. But I was quite appalled by the extent to which that was taken and elaborated - to the point where I seemed to be like an antichrist. Of course, I found that very hurtful. The reality, the facts of that situation, were hard enough... yes I was vulnerable to that stuff, absolutely."

Is Daniel Day-Lewis Close With His Son From Isabelle Adjani?

When The Guardian published their profile of Daniel Day-Lewis in 2003, they revealed where his son with Isabelle Adjani was living at that time. According to that report, the actor's eldest son, Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis was living with his mom. "His oldest son, Gabriel Kane, seven, lives with his mother, the actress Isabelle Adjani. Day-Lewis and Adjani split up in 1995 when she was pregnant."

When The Daily Mail published their piece that revealed Daniel Day-Lewis broke up with Isabelle Adjani over fax, their report made another claim. According to The Daily Mail, Daniel Day-Lewis' relationship with Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis had become close over time.

"He initially refused to pay for little Gabriel’s upkeep, though friends say father and son are now close."

In addition to reports claiming Daniel Day-Lewis and Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis are close, photos seem to back that up. For example, there is a photo of the father and son looking incredibly happy together.

While it seems like Daniel Day-Lewis and Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis have a good relationship, there is one issue. Based on a song Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis once released, he resents being judged for who his father is. In fact, the lyrics of Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis' song compare judging someone by who their father is and being racist.

When and where was Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis born, according to Famous Birthdays?

“Call me Gabe Day / And not Gabe Day-Lewis / ‘Cuz if you’re trying to call me out / I’m ’bout to Gabe Day lose it / B**** I know what my name is / and s*** I know what fame is / Judgin’ someone for their dad is just as bad as being racist / ‘Cuz I remain my own person."

While Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis doesn't want to be judged who his father is, he is following in his dad's footsteps. As of February 2024, Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis has already taken a handful of acting roles. Most notably, Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis starred in Terror On The Prairie, a movie starring Gina Carano that was produced by The Daily Wire.
