Tiphaine Auzière, the 42-year-old daughter of France's first lady Brigitte Macron, has revealed a relationship with a 22-year-old business student, mirroring the significant age gap in her mother's marriage to President Emmanuel Macron. Auzière shared a video on Instagram documenting the romance with Antoine Lecomte, including footage from a trip the pair took to Amsterdam together. The pairing has drawn attention for echoing the unconventional dynamic at the heart of France's first family, given the roughly 20-year gap between Auzière and her partner.

According to the French magazine Gala, Auzière and Lecomte met over the summer in Le Touquet, a beach resort on France's Opal Coast, where he was working as a kitesurfing instructor and taught her to use an e-foil electric surfboard. A friend told the magazine the connection was immediate, citing shared interests in Le Touquet, adventure, travel and entrepreneurship, and reported that Auzière has already introduced Lecomte to her two children. The relationship recalls that of Brigitte, 73, and Emmanuel Macron, 48, whose 25-year age gap began when he was a 15-year-old pupil and she, then 39, was his teacher; sources say Brigitte is delighted by her daughter's happiness.
