The article mentioned her rising fame as an actress, also adding information about her band, SingTank, which she shared with her brother. Following her appearance onstage in the play 'L’Une de l’Autre' in Paris in 2009, 'Vogue' declared her an 'It' girl. Also that year, her band had its very first shows in Paris at Le Baron, Montana and the Theatre des Mathurins. However, it is her affair with Mark Ronson that earned her more publicity, especially after the French magazine 'Jalouse' published a photoshoot of the couple's fake nuptials in their July 2009 issue.
In 2010, she appeared in the music video for 'The Bike Song' by her then boyfriend Mark Ronson.

'The Independent' later reported that Ronson had proposed to her in early 2011 with a yellow diamond ring which he had designed himself. The incident, which took place during a chilly beach vacation in La Rochelle, France, had surprised her as much as her own reaction, as she thought she was not ready for marriage yet.

Despite the fact that they did not have any children, she had asked for spousal support from him. While neither of them made any official statement, he had posted a video of him on Instagram listening to jazz music, which he had captioned, "You know you're in a fragile state when a smooth jazz version of Chaka Khan's Sweet Thang caresses your soul like an old friend." In December 2018, 'E! News' confirmed via court documents that they had reached a divorce settlement in October 2018, even though the terms of the settlement were not made public.
