In his autobiography 90 years of love, Jacques Séguéla returns to the first meeting between Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni, which took place in the mansion of the publicist in Marnes-la-Coquette. An evening that ended with a daring request from the former President of the Republic, whispered in the ear of the one who was to become his wife.
A dinner that changed everything. In November 2007, the publicist Jacques Seguela organized a reception at his home, during which the newly elected President of the Republic met Nicolas Sarkozyjust divorced from Cécilia, and the one who was still a singer and model, Carla Bruni. And during the evening, the charm quickly operated between the two bachelors, who wedded a few months later. A real thunderbolt.
This Thursday, November 3, Jacques Séguéla, the man behind their beautiful love story, has just published his autobiography, entitled 90 years of love. A book in which he returned to this meeting, which he had the chance to attend. “Strange heart to heart that was offered to us without shamelessness, without mystery, without insipidity, without secretiveness”he remembers, before adding: “Two adults rediscovering the freshness of adolescence, unable to fight against this attraction that invaded them”.
Carla Bruni: “never the first night”
As Jacques Séguéla reports, Nicolas Sarkozy then turned to Carla Bruni and him whispered “a few words in your ear”. “We couldn’t stay hungry“, confesses the author. Unfortunately, the singer, “almost blushing”, refused to reveal the words spoken by the former head of state. This last too, until a phone call to his friend the next morning. Curious, Jacques Séguéla indeed asked him to ” confess her whisper “. And Nicolas Sarkozy did not need to be asked: “Carla, are you heading, at this moment, in front of everyone, to kiss me on the mouth?“A very daring request that the main interested party finally declined:”Never on the first night, but there will be a life of other nights”concludes the author.
Since that evening, Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni have been living a very beautiful love story. The two lovebirds had decided to formalize their union by choosing to say “yes” to each other on February 2, 2008 in the Green Salon of the Elysée Palace. A little over three years later, on October 19, 2011, the couple welcomed their first child, a little girl named Giulia, who is now the pride of her parents. he returned to college last September, the couple raised him away from the paparazzi and never exposed his face on social networks.
