  • Macron previously vowed to "fight hard" to keep the series in Paris, stating that "Emily in Paris in Rome doesn’t make sense."
  • Mayor Gualtieri responded on X/Twitter, welcoming Emily to Rome and suggesting Macron "can’t command the heart."
  • Star Lily Collins humorously acknowledged the unexpected political sparring, while the show's creator confirmed Emily would still maintain a presence in Paris.
