Vlady third husband was Soviet poet/songwriter, [[Vladimir Vysotsky]], They were married from 1969 until his death in 1980.<ref>{{cite web |last=Караев |first=Николай |date=30 April 2012 |title=Марина Влади: Володя живет во мне – всегда |url=http://rus.postimees.ee/825384/marina-vladi-volodja-zhivet-vo-mne-vsegda |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131111044058/http://rus.postimees.ee/825384/marina-vladi-volodja-zhivet-vo-mne-vsegda |archive-date=11 November 2013 |access-date=17 May 2013 |work=PostTimees}}</ref> Vlady wrote ''Vladimir, or the Aborted Flight'', a memoir of her relationship with [[Vladimir Vysotsky]]. For a decade, the couple maintained a [[long-distance relationship]] as Vlady compromised her career in France in order to spend more time in Moscow, and his friends pulled strings for him to travel abroad. She eventually joined the [[Communist Party of France]], which essentially gave her an unlimited-entry visa into the Soviet Union, and provided Vysotsky with some immunity against prosecution by the government. The problems of his long-distance relationship with Vlady inspired several of Vysotsky's songs.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}

Vlady also lived with French oncologist Léon Schwartzenberg from the 1980s until his death in 2003.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}}
