They never married. The engagement broke off. Jean had given an interview where he said he could not go on with the wedding because he wanted to be true to himself.

Don't forget about Prince Gustav (spn of Pss Benedikte) and Elvire Pasté de Rochefort, engaged in 2000 - 2001.The wedding was planned to take place at Paris on 12 May 2001, but was postponed. The couple later decided to go separate ways.
