Drama as French President receives slap from wife

News Update

President of France, Emmanuel Macron and his “elder-wife”, Brigitte Macron, were involved in fisticuffs when they arrived in Vietnam on Sunday.

VAM News reports the unexpected scene was caught on camera during the arrival of the couple at the airport in Hanoi, Vietnam. They are on a tour of Southeast Asia.

From the video circulating on social media, President Macron appeared to have received a “dirty slap” from Brigitte before they both descend from the presidential jet that took them.

The “dirty slap” caused Macron to step back in bewilderment. After recovering and regaining balance, the French President waved at the press from the foot of the steps of the presidential jet.

Meanwhile, Brigitte remained momentarily hidden behind the plane’s fuselage, blocking any view of her body language. The couple then descended the steps of the plane together.

As the couple descend the steps, Macron offered Brigitte his arm, which she refused to take, opting instead to hold the railing.

However, Macron’s office has passed off the incident as “a moment of closeness”.

“It was a moment when the president and his wife were relaxing one last time before the start of the trip by having a laugh. It was a moment of closeness,” an official told Reuters.

TNG reports 47-year-old Macron and 72-year-old Brigitte have been married since 2007.
