Seeing this, people started saying on social media that she is 'slapping'. After this, the French President becomes a little uncomfortable and greets the delegation that came to Hanoi airport by waving his hand.

Dated for years, then finally got married
In her autobiography, Brigitte said that even though she was in a relationship with Emmanuel, she was always uncomfortable with the age difference between them.

However, when Brigitte got legally divorced from her husband Andre in the year 2007, she entered into married life with Emmanuel.
Brigitte was uncomfortable about the age difference
In an interview with Elle France, Brigitte spoke about the age difference between her and Emmanuel, saying, "There comes a time in your life when you need to make important decisions. Of course, we have breakfast together, me with my wrinkles and he with his youth, but that's how life is."
It is worth noting that there was a time when Emmanuel Macron's relationship started being linked with the chief of Radio France. However, Emmanuel Macron rejected these claims.
