Introduction

A new book says President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, had a fight. The book says they fought because of some text messages.

Main Body

In May 2025, the couple went to Vietnam. A video shows Brigitte hitting the President's face. The President said it was just a joke. Writer Florian Tardif says it was a real fight. He says Brigitte saw messages between the President and an actress. The President told the actress she is very pretty. Brigitte says this story is not true. She says she does not look at her husband's phone. The actress also says the story is a lie. The Macrons are also in a legal fight with a woman named Candace Owens. Most people in France think the President's home life is private.
