In the spring of 1917, the Ukrainian sculptor [[Chana Orloff]] introduced him to a 19-year-old art student named [[Jeanne Hébuterne]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.museothyssen.org/thyssen/exposiciones/WebExposiciones/2008/modigliani/fundacion/fundacion9_ing.html|title=Photo|publisher=Museo Thyssen – Bornemisza|access-date=8 June 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080229014847/http://www.museothyssen.org/thyssen/exposiciones/WebExposiciones/2008/modigliani/fundacion/fundacion9_ing.html|archive-date=29 February 2008}}</ref> who had posed for [[Tsuguharu Foujita]]. From a conservative [[bourgeois]] background, Hébuterne was renounced by her devout [[Roman Catholic]] family for her liaison with Jewish Modigliani, whom they saw as little more than a debauched derelict. Despite her family's objections, soon they were living together.

Modigliani ended his relationship with the English poet and art critic Beatrice Hastings.  A short time later Hébuterne and Modigliani moved together into a studio on the Rue de la Grande Chaumière. Jeanne began to pose for him and appears in several of his paintings. Jeanne Hébuterne became a principal subject for Modigliani's art. Modigliani was known to be abusive towards his lovers, Hébuterne was suffering from depression after becoming pregnant for the second time.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Riddell |first=Mary |date=2006-07-08 |title=The naked realities of raunch culture |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2006/jul/09/arts.visualarts |access-date=2025-01-27 |work=The Observer |language=en-GB |issn=0029-7712}}</ref>



Towards the end of the First World War, early in 1918, Modigliani left Paris with Hébuterne to escape from the war and travelled to Nice and Cagnes-sur-Mer. They would spend a year in France. During that time they had a busy social life with many friends, including [[Pierre-Auguste Renoir]], [[Pablo Picasso]], [[Giorgio de Chirico]] and [[André Derain]].

Modigliani already had a son from his relationship with Simone Thiroux, Gérard Thiroux (1917&ndash;2004), and at least two other extramarital children.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Secrest|first=Meryle|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wycoiv9BJ0QC&q=jeanne+hebuterne+letter+to+modigliani&pg=PA252|title=Modigliani|date=2011-03-01|publisher=Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-307-59547-8|language=en}}</ref> In May 1919 they returned to Paris with their infant daughter and moved into an apartment on the rue de la Grande Chaumière. 
 
Hébuterne became pregnant again. Modigliani then got engaged to her, but Jeanne's parents were against the marriage, especially because of Modigliani's reputation as an alcoholic and drug user. However, Modigliani officially recognized her daughter as his child. The wedding plans were shattered independently of Jeanne's parents' resistance when Modigliani discovered he had a severe form of tuberculosis.
