0Anne-Sophie meets Yuzuru in Paris while he is there on a business trip. The two fall in love and she becomes his mistress. When Tamaki is born, he is named René and Tamaki. Both mother and child are forbidden by Shizue Suoh to return to Japan with Yuzuru. They remain in France until Tamaki is fourteen, with Anne-Sophie's health steadily declining. When the de Grantaine family business goes into debt and is near bankruptcy, Shizue offers a deal to Anne-Sophie. In exchange for financial security and medical care until the end of her days, she is to relinquish all control and visitation of Tamaki to herself. Shizue does this because she is concerned for the Suoh legacy, Yuzuru having no other children to whom he can pass on the family and business legacies. Anne-Sophie tearfully accepts this as being in her son's best interest. It is said that she goes into seclusion following Tamaki's departure. Though her location is supposedly unknown, Yuzuru does know. During the 2nd-year school excursion to France, Kyoya Ootori locates her and discovers that she is living in decent health, thinking of her son every day. In Chapter 77 of the manga, it is revealed that Anne-Sophie suffers from Systemic lupus erythematosus. In the anime, Anne-Sophie is depicted as a housekeeper in the Tonnerre household where she develops an inter-generational friendship with the wealthy family's daughter, the Lady Éclair Tonnerre. She regales Éclair with stories about her sweet and beautiful son, which sparks the heiress's curiosity and eventual trip to Japan to meet him. Anne-Sophie's knowledge of the Tonnerre-Suoh engagement is unlikely; her potential reaction suggested by Shima Maezono, Chief of Staff for Suoh second mansion, who tells Kyoya in Ep 26 - This is Our Ouran Fair! that if Tamaki's mother is as wonderful as Tamaki says she is, she would not approve of Tamaki's leaving Ouran Academy, no matter the reason.
