Monica opened up to the magazine about her romance with Tim as she described him as a ‘spectacular soul’, months after they were first linked.
In the chat, translated from Spanish, Monica said: ‘I found in Tim [Burton] a wonderful spirit. I met a spectacular soul.’
Her romance with Tim comes ten years after her separation from Vincent Cassel, who she was married to for 14 years. They share daughters Deva, 18, and Leoni, 13.
Speaking about her personal life, Monica also described fame as a ‘double-edged sword’ and told how she tries to keep aspects of her life private.
‘Fame is a double-edged sword, it causes a lot of curiosity and can also provoke conflicting feelings,’ she explained.
‘When I am not working, I like to lead a normal life – I go shopping, I take my daughters to school.’

Her latest comments come after Monica finally confirmed her romance with American filmmaker Tim in June, after months of secretly dating.
She sweetly professed her love for Tim and told how she was glad that she met him in an interview with Elle France.
‘What I can say… I’m glad I met the man, first of all,’ she said. ‘It’s one of those encounters that rarely happens in life… I know the man, I love him, and now I’m going to meet the director, another adventure begins.’
The model has recently been shooting Beetlejuice 2 with Tim in London, and she gushed about the filmmaker’s vision for the much-anticipated sequel.
‘I love Tim,’ she continued. ‘And I have great respect for Tim Burton.’
Speaking of his work, she said: ‘I love this dream world where the monsters are kind, like we can turn our darker aspects into something bright, forgiving. Tim Burton’s films talk about that a lot.’
Monica and Tim first met 16 years ago but are said to have started dating after seeing one another at the Lumière Film Festival in Lyon in October.
Monica, who was an honorary guest at the festival, presented Tim with the Lumiere lifetime achievement award on stage around the time they went official.
News of their romance emerged in February, when Paris Match said the couple ‘briefly met on the steps of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes in 2006, but it was only sixteen years later, behind the scenes of another festival, that they got closer’.
The pair were also seen heading in to watch the re-production of Silent Documentary Film, directed in 1895 by late French filmmaker Louis Lumiere.
