why does she not want to “expose” her companion?

Last May, Elisabeth Borne was appointed Prime Minister under the government of Emmanuel Macron. If she was already part of the media landscape before her appointment, it is understandable that this new status encourages citizens to find out more about her. But you can do the test yourself on the internet, information on Elisabeth Borne’s private life is scarce. For only data about him that the most curious could revel in, his marriage then his divorce a few years later with the teacher-researcher Olivier Allix, and the birth of their child, Olivier, in 1995.

During an interview with our colleagues from the magazine She this July 7, the Prime Minister explained why the chances of see her “with family” in a magazine are reduced to nothing: “When you saw the way your private life can be searched, with articles quoting the name of the father of my son, from whom I am divorced…” However, she still slipped a few little words on her current relationship status.

Elisabeth Borne confides in her long-distance relationship

Elisabeth Borne has indeed confirmed sharing her life with someone, even if they don’t live together : “I don’t live with my companion, who lives partly in Brittany, and I don’t want to expose him at all.” The opportunity for the Prime Minister to explain why she had chosen not to pack her bags at the Matignon hotel: “I don’t live in Matignon. I really need to lead the most normal life possible and continue to have my personal universe. It’s a question of balance for me.” It is in particular this modest and reserved nature which could justify the fact that she seeks to protect her relatives from media coverage.

In general, the former president of the RATP prefers don’t let anything show : “I don’t express my emotions a lot. When women do this, they are said to be emotional or fragile. A man has character, a woman is character.”
