Line Renaud, Stéphane Bern, Fabrice Luchini, François Berléand, and even Bernard Montiel… Since their arrival at the Élysée in 2017, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron have become friends with many French celebrities. But not only ! Yes, the presidential couple seems to be attractive even beyond our borders. In addition to monarchs and other heads of state with whom the understanding seems entirely cordial, as is the case with Charles III for example, the President and the First Lady often make a strong impression on great artists. Like Natalie Portman in particular, who finds the duo “Magnificent”, Rihanna also fell under the spell of Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron. Tuesday April 9, 2024, during an interview with the magazine Interviewthe Barbadian singer spoke about her relationship with the couple, whom she met several times.
Rihanna is full of praise for the presidential couple, “incredible people”
The last time was two months earlier, on January 27, 2024, on the occasion of the gala organized by Brigitte Macron in favor of the Yellow Pieces. Rihanna came backstage at the Accor Arena in Bercy, Paris, to support A$AP Rocky – her partner and father of her two children – who was performing on stage that evening. A new opportunity to interact with the French First Lady and her husband. “They are incredible peopleIn fact”declared the richest singer in the world, before adding: “Very humble people who occupy very powerful positions, but they are charming, and Brigitte is such a gracious first lady.” So many compliments which will undoubtedly please the presidential duo.
This is not the first time that Rihanna has expressed her admiration for the Macron couple. In July 2017, shortly after the election of Emmanuel Macron, she met them at the Élysée to discuss a subject that is close to her heart, as much as to the former literature professor: education. “I just had the most incredible meeting with the President and the First Lady. They made us feel incredibly welcome. […] I was very inspired and impressed by their leadership”then confided the interpreter of We Found Love, to the audience of journalists who were waiting for him as he left the presidential palace. Rihanna saw Emmanuel Macron again a few months later, during a conference on the school enrollment rate in poor countries organized in Dakar, Senegal, in February 2018. A friendship that lasts, therefore!
