From 1893 until her death, Bonnard lived with [[Marthe Bonnard|Marthe de Méligny]] (1869–1942), and she was the model for many of his paintings, including many nudes.  Her birth name was Maria Boursin, but she had changed it before she met Bonnard.  They married in 1925.  In the years before their marriage, Bonnard had love affairs with two other women, who also served as models for some of his paintings: Renée Monchaty (the partner of the American painter [[Harry Lachmann]]) and Lucienne Dupuy de Frenelle, the wife of a doctor. It has been suggested that Bonnard may have been the father of Lucienne's second son. Renée Monchaty committed suicide shortly after Bonnard and de Méligny married.<ref>Serrano, V. (2019).
