Tiphaine Auzière, the 42-year-old daughter of French First Lady Brigitte Macron, is reportedly dating Antoine Lecomte, a 22-year-old kitesurfing instructor. Auzière shared a photo of the couple on her Instagram account during a vacation in Amsterdam.
The couple reportedly met in Le Touquet, a coastal town in northwestern France, where Lecomte worked as a kitesurfing instructor. A friend told Gala magazine that the connection between Auzière and Lecomte was immediate, citing shared interests such as a love for Le Touquet, adventure, travel, and entrepreneurship.
Brigitte Macron is said to be pleased with her daughter's new relationship. A source close to the First Lady told Gala that Macron's primary concern is her daughter's happiness and that she is looking forward to meeting Lecomte. This news comes several months after Auzière's reported breakup with French TV host Cyril Hanouna.
Lecomte has reportedly met Auzière's two children, Aurele, 10, and Elise, 12. The age difference between Auzière and Lecomte is two decades, which is five years less than the age difference between Brigitte Macron, 73, and her husband, French President Emmanuel Macron, 48. President Macron was a 15-year-old student when he first met Brigitte, who was then a married mother of three and his teacher at a private school in Amiens. Their relationship began when Brigitte was 54 and Macron was 29.
