On BFMTV, Emmanuel Macron's wife estimated that “this trial was essential”. “Things had to be said and they are.”She thus brought her “unconditional support for all women”.“It's true that we see me more in the field of childhood and adolescence but I am with all women in all the struggles.

A famous sexologist analyzes the age difference between the First Lady and Emmanuel Macron

While the latter, aged 15 at the time, was her student, Brigitte Macron fell in love with him. Husband and wife then have a difference of 16 years. Pascal de Sutter, sexologist, notably known in the show Married at first sight then gave his clear opinion on this age difference: “When we experience an occasional attraction to an older person, we are not talking about gerontophilia. This attraction can be explained by a fear of younger women who are perceived as worrying. While the older woman has a reassuring side“analyzes the professional. And for him, this age difference can also be explained by the notion of fantasy: “How many young people fantasize about one of their teachers, especially if she is attractive? On the other hand, what is not common is the courage and audacity that the young Emmanuel Macron demonstrated.”

“I don’t understand the aggression”

Indeed, “it is surprising that once the fantasy was realized and the relationship was consummated, there was no weariness.
We are faced with an extraordinary and exceptional love”,confides the sexologist. Besides, what do the criticisms and low blows matter, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, who confided in her previous life, have always taken responsibility for their relationship. “I understand that it can be surprising, that people don’t understand us. But I don’t understand the aggressiveness,”notably indicated the First Lady who is often under fire from criticism, she who shares the life of a head of state.
