The internet is buzzing after a video emerged showing French President Emmanuel Macron being playfully pushed away by his wife, Brigitte, as they disembarked from an aircraft in Vietnam. In the footage, which has gone viral, Brigitte appears to slap Macron while they are still inside the plane, leading to speculation about their relationship. Macron, who is visible standing at the doorway, does not respond as his wife intervenes.
For a moment, he looks taken aback but quickly regains his composure, waving at onlookers as they descend. As they step down the stairs, Macron extends his arm toward Brigitte, but she opts to hold the handrail instead.
Later, during a media interaction in Hanoi on May 26, 2025, Macron addressed the growing rumors surrounding the incident. He remarked on the absurdity of the reactions to the viral video, saying, “There’s a video showing me joking and teasing my wife and somehow that becomes a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe.” He criticized the way the video was interpreted, suggesting it was weaponized against him, but acknowledged its authenticity. “The videos are all real, and yes, sometimes people tamper with them, but people are attributing all kinds of nonsense to them,” he added.
Initially, the Élysée Palace denied the incident before downplaying its significance. However, sources close to Macron later indicated that the couple was simply having a disagreement, rather than a serious conflict.
