Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, Bruno Le Maire – who has been the object of all eyes – has been on the front lines trying to help businesses get through this very complicated period. A process of media coverage in which his wife and mother of his four boys (Louis, Adrien, Matthias and Barthélémy), Pauline Doussau de Bazignan, does not participate. The wife of the Minister of the Economy, artist-painter whose public name is Pauline Bazignan, is at her discretion. A way for the couple married since 1998 to keep their garden secret. "With Pauline, we have tried many possible formulas to combine public and private life. The worst thing will have been to mix the two ", wrote Bruno Le Maire in his book To our children, published by Gallimard editions in 2014. Ten years earlier, in 2004, Bruno Le Maire and his wife had been splashed by a scandal following the publication by her husband of the autofiction The Minister.
Bruno Le Maire, nicknamed with affection "Coquito" by his dear and tender, told a scene taking place in Venice, Italy. His wife is then masturbating in a bathtub. The main interested party was surprised at the controversy generated by these few lines: "This scene, I read it before. I didn't even remember it. It was written in such a naive way … It seemed touching to me. I didn't think it would make a controversy", reacted Pauline Bazignan, to the Figaro, in 2015.
A man "fair and balanced", but sometimes "authoritarian"
A scandal that will have reminded the couple how precious their secret garden is. It is therefore now discreetly that Pauline Doussau de Bazignan exhibits her works in prestigious galleries, after having been her husband's parliamentary assistant until 2013 when he was a UMP deputy. She nevertheless came out of her silence on Friday April 24, 2020 during an interview with the Point. The artist referred to her husband as a "fair and balanced man", a protective daddy who pays attention"All the time"to his children but who can show himself sometimes"authoritarian".
