Her official name was (and still is) Justine Henin before her marriage with Pierre-Yves Hardenne on November 16, 2002, in the Ch?teau de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne. She uses the name Henin-Hardenne on the tennis court but as Belgian law does not provide for a wife taking on the name of her husband, she legally still is Justine Henin. They live in Monaco, when not on tour.
