Tiphaine Auzière, the 42-year-old daughter of Brigitte Macron, has gone public with her relationship with 22-year-old Antoine Lecomte. The lawyer and crime novelist shared the romance with the young student through a joint social-media post.

The relationship quickly prompted comparisons with her mother’s story. Brigitte Macron married Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, who is 25 years younger than her. A source close to the family told Gala that Brigitte was happy to see her daughter well and wanted to meet the man who had won her over.

Auzière met Lecomte during a stay in Le Touquet, a coastal town in northern France. She had arranged a short holiday there to relax and take e-foil lessons, while Lecomte worked as her instructor. He is passionate about kitesurfing and won a bronze medal last year at the international Kings and Queens of the Lagoon competition in Vietnam.

Like all mothers. The only thing that matters to her is her daughter’s happiness, so she is very happy to see her doing well.

After keeping the relationship private for several weeks, the couple confirmed it on Aug. 30 by sharing photographs from a romantic trip to Amsterdam. Lecomte captioned a video of them walking hand in hand, “48 hours in Amsterdam with my girl.”

Lecomte studies business administration at Neoma Business School and works on Mission Kiteboarding, his brand for designing and developing water-sports equipment. Auzière separated last year from gastroenterologist Antoine Choteau, the father of her children, Elise and Aurèle.
