Brigitte Macron's daughter discusses mother's relationship with French president

Tiphaine Auzière, the daughter of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron from her first marriage, has offered a personal perspective on their relationship, which has long captivated public attention.

“

My sister Laurence came home and said: 'Mom, in our class there is a crazy boy who knows everything about everything.'

In the documentary "Brigitte Macron: French Novel," Auzière shared her memories of the early days of her mother's relationship with Emmanuel Macron, who was her student at the time. "My sister Laurence came home and said: 'Mom, in our class there is a crazy boy who knows everything about everything,'" Auzière recalled. She observed that they were "quite in love," though she acknowledged that accepting the situation was a significant challenge for the family.

It was obvious that they were 'quite in love.'

Despite initial difficulties, Auzière expressed admiration for her mother and stepfather's bond. "If I have to give a vision of love, it is Emmanuel and Mom. When they are together, it's almost as if the world doesn't exist," she stated emotionally in the documentary.

Auzière also strongly defended her mother against what she described as "misogynistic" and "sexist" attacks, particularly concerning the age difference between Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron. She pointed out the double standards applied, arguing that such criticism would not be directed at male politicians or a man dating a female politician. Auzière believes that jealousy fuels these comments.

These are attacks that we would not direct at male politicians or at a man who would accompany a female politician.
