This week, Brigitte Macron accompanied Emmanuel Macron during a trip to Germany. An outing during which the first lady’s sexy bodyguard attracted all the spotlight.
Slicked back hair, athletic build and elegant look… At first glance, the man who accompanies Brigitte Macron on all her trips could be mistaken, wrongly, for a model. However, if his measurements seem perfect for the exercise, he is in reality Brigitte Macron’s personal bodyguard. Lhe Lieutenant Fabien is responsible for the security of Emmanuel Macron’s wife. Aged around forty, this former gendarme joined the ranks of the Elysée Palace in 2017.
Now responsible for ensuring the safety of Brigitte Macron, Lieutenant Fabien frequently appears in the background of photographs taken by journalists and paparazzi each time Emmanuel Macron’s former literature professor appears. An overexposure of the soldier which seems to make some of his colleagues jealous, as our colleagues from Point in 2021. More than his physique or his multiple appearances alongside the First Lady, it is above all his rise, a little too meteoric for the tastes of some, which would have aroused some desires.

And for good reason, the one who joined the ranks of the Elysée security teams has visibly climbed the ranks too quickly, believe some colleagues. Since 2017, the gendarme has gone from simple chief warrant officer to lieutenant in the space of three years. A development a little too hasty for many. However, the Elysée had expressed itself on the subject by specifying that Lieutenant Fabien had not been the subject of any preferential treatment, as reported by our colleagues from Gala. “He came 13th out of 200 officer positions offered in the competition, then followed the appropriate training”said the Elysée about Lieutenant Fabien.
As for his rapid rise through the ranks? This is explained by his years of service in Afghanistan and Iraq. As reported Point, the man responsible for Brigitte Macron’s security was then a non-commissioned officer when he served there. Thus, the one who is now a lieutenant would only have had to pass one year of officer class to reach his current status.
