Brigitte Macron confided in Sophie Davant about her age difference with Emmanuel Macron, 25 years her junior, and her relationship to time.
Brigitte Macron granted a long interview with Sophie Davant on the occasion of the release of the new formula of S le Magon newsstands this Thursday, January 12, 2022. During this interview, the First Lady gave herself as rarely, evoking her dresses deemed too short, or her “atypical” couple that she forms with Emmanuel Macron. Brigitte Macron notably mentioned their age difference. Asked about how she “modernized” this vision of the age difference, especially in the woman-man sense, Brigitte Macron wanted to moderate these remarks. “Wait until April 13, 2023, when I’ll be 70: you’ll hear it, I’m sure. I won’t read anything that day.” Brigitte Macron is 25 years older than her husband. She had been married for thirty years and mother of three children when she met Emmanuel Macron. Divorcing her husband André-Louis Auzière was not easy, especially because of the many “gossip and criticism” heard at the time.
Yet this love at first sight was obvious and neither sought to deny it. Nor, moreover, to play on the table of the age difference. “I never promoted our couple: it exists but cannot be explained. Obviously, it’s easier to be in the same age group, whatever the meaning. But Emmanuel came into my life. And she took a turn I never imagined.”

Brigitte Macron’s relationship to age
In this same interview, Brigitte Macron also discusses her relationship to age and the passage of time. “Indeed, the age difference is important but we do not think about it.” And in fact, the daily life of Brigitte Macron is far from that of a majority of grandmothers or retirees. Trips, trips, charitable commitments, diplomatic dinners… Brigitte Macron lives to the fullest and always in the present.
”To keep myself in shape, I do half an hour of sport a day – alone, without a coach – I eat a balanced diet and I dedicate time to writing and reading… I live in the present. I know that’s all we got. I lost loved ones very quickly, so every day is a chance.” And to those who wonder about the way she found to living well one’s agehis answer is very clear: “To accept that some days it’s not great.”
