Macron–Brigitte Controversy Resurfaces in New Book

A recent book titled “An (Almost) Perfect Couple” by journalist Florian Tardif has sparked controversy by making claims about French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron. The book suggests that tensions between the couple reportedly escalated after a conversation involving Iranian-origin actress Golshifteh Farahani.

According to the author, Macron allegedly sent messages praising Farahani’s beauty, which reportedly upset Brigitte Macron. The book also references previously viral footage showing a tense moment between the French President and First Lady, though Macron had earlier dismissed it as a misunderstanding and described it as a casual, playful interaction.
