Brigitte Macron’s daughter has followed in the footsteps of her mother and found love with a much younger man.
Tiphaine Auzière, 42, confirmed her relationship with Antoine Lecomte, 22, via a social media post filled with clips of a recent couple’s holiday to Amsterdam.
The couple can be seen strolling around the city, visiting museums and driving around in a camper van. “48h in ’Dam with Madam,” Lecomte captioned the post.
The pair reportedly met in the French coastal resort town of Le Touquet, where Lecomte, who is also a student, works as a kitesurfing instructor, according to The Telegraph.
“It was immediately obvious between them,” a close friend told Gala, a French weekly celebrity magazine.
“They have a lot in common: a love of Le Touquet and thrills, but also travel and entrepreneurship.”
Auzière has also reportedly introduced Lecomte to her two children Élise and Aurèle, whom she shares with Antoine Choteau, her partner of 15 years whom she separated from in 2025.
Her mother, whose own age-gap relationship with French President Emmanuel Macron has been widely publicised, has reportedly given the pair her blessing.
“She reacted just like any mother would. All that matters to her is her daughter’s happiness, so she’s very happy to see her thriving,” the source told Gala.
Brigette first met Emmanuel, who is 24 years her junior, when she was his teacher at a Catholic school in Amiens, northern France.
The first lady was a married mother of three when she met the then 15-year-old Emmanuel, a classmate of her children.
When his parents learnt of the affair, they sent him to boarding school in Paris; however, distance did not end the relationship, and they kept in contact whilst he was away.
Her then-husband Andre-Louis Auzière then left after learning about the affair, although their divorce was not finalised for over a decade.
After divorcing her first husband, the pair married in 2007 when he was 29 and she was 54.
Auzière, who is six years younger than her stepfather, said of her mother’s relationship in 2018. “If I have to give a vision of love, it’s Emmanuel and Mummy. When they are together, it is almost as if the world doesn’t exist.”
