1888
Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel was never in love with Etienne Balsan. She was in love with Arthur "Boy" (sorry I don't know his last name). But to answer when she met Etienne Balsan, it was in 1923 in Monaco.
Etienne Balsan and Coco Chanel ended their relationship long before his death, so I doubt that it is recorded. He died in 1953. They still remained friends throughout their lives.
Etienne Balsan was a French heir and socialite who was born into a family of wealthy industrialists. Coco Chanel was his mistress. It appears that he died in 1953 at age 75 of natural causes.
Coco Chanel was never married, however she had many lovers such as: Boy Chapel and Etienne Balsan
Albert Chanel (Coco Chanel's father) and Eug'enie "Jeanne" Devole (Coco Chanel's mother).
Absolutely not! She had a very loving relationship with both Etienne and Boy. Unfortunately, she was never able to marry either. Etienne left her, and Boy was killed in an automobile crash on his way to return to be with her after almost marrying his father's goddaughter. Coco Chanel was absolutely NOT a lesbian. After facing two losses of men she loved, she never married anyone.
Coco Chanel was 5'2" tall.
