Personal life

He married Masha Novoselova in 2010.[2] His daughter, Darya, was born in 2011. At the end of 2016, he separated from Novoselova[17] and, reportedly, began to date Charlotte Casiraghi,[18] the daughter of Caroline, Princess of Hanover, and niece of Albert II, Prince of Monaco. In March 2018 Rassam and Casiraghi were reported to be engaged, with plans to marry in the summer;[19] however, that did not happen. Their son, Balthazar, was born on 23 October 2018.[20] On 7 April 2019, Paris Match ran the headline (in French) "Charlotte et Dimitri: Mariage en Juin", combining a report on Monaco's Rose Ball, where Rassam's mother, Carole Bouquet, was guest of honor, placed in the seating beside Prince Albert II, with the news that the couple were planning a summer wedding.[21] The same report revealed that Rassam divides residency between Paris and Los Angeles.[21] Rassam and Casiraghi were wed at the Prince's Palace of Monaco on 1 June 2019.[22]

On 29 June 2019 they married religiously at Sainte-Marie de Pierredon Abbey, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
