It is the first and only president of the Fifth Republic to have married while in office. In November 2007, Nicolas Sarkozy, then recently divorced from Cécilia Attias, meets Carla Bruni. Madly in love, they get married three months later at the Elysee Palace and become the happy parents of a girl named Giulia, on October 19, 2011. A fulfilling life as a couple that the former head of state then does not hesitate to publicize by displaying his happiness found on the covers of famous magazines. "With Carla, it's serious", he blurted out at a press conference, which was held a month before his wedding, as reported Gala. But the politician now regrets having shown so much.
Nicolas Sarkozy regrets the media coverage of his couple
One year after the success of his book Passions, Nicolas Sarkozy is back with a new book, The time of storms, which will appear on Friday, July 24, 2020 by L’observatoire editions. On this occasion, François Hollande's predecessor indulged in some confidences in the columns of the Figaro. He admits in particular having made a mistake in exposing his private life. "The former president admits that this marital interference gave the French the impression that the president was caught up in his private life when he should have been fully focused on the presidential mission", reports the daily in its edition of Wednesday July 22, 2020."In France, showing off one's happiness is as frowned upon as showing off one's wealth", laments the father of four children.
Nicolas Sarkozy has never hidden his love for the one who has shared his life for twelve years. "Carla became my wife, she was a fantastic First Lady. She arrived in this political environment she did not know out of love for me, for her family and for the country she represented, he confided on the set of 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, in June 2019. She made, it seems to me, the pride of France. But, for me, it was the miracle of life, this meeting. "
