French President Emmanuel Macron Gets Smacked by Wife, Still Manages to Look Presidential — Kind Of

Buy Me A Coffee

French President Emmanuel Macron just got a face-full of France — courtesy of his wife, Brigitte. Yes, guys, the First Lady popped off and the world can’t stop watching.

On Sunday (May 25), Macron, 47, and his wife Brigitte, 72 — looking every bit like a fashion-forward Bond villain in a red power jacket — landed in Hanoi, Vietnam, kicking off their grand Southeast Asia tour. The vibes were diplomatic. The drip? Presidential. The drama? IMMEDIATE.

As the presidential plane door creaked open, out waltzed Monsieur President, ready for cameras, fans, and the scent of international diplomacy. But before he could deliver so much as a presidential wave — WHAP! A rogue hand reached out and lovingly, but firmly, shoved his face back like a rejected Tinder match.

And whose hand was it? Brigitte. Yes, his own wife. Rocking the same red jacket as the mystery hand in the video, she strolled into frame like she didn’t just bop the leader of France in the schnoz on global television.

To his credit, Emmanuel handled it like a champ — blinked, reset, gave a smize, and strutted down those stairs like he wasn’t just assaulted by spousal sass.

Of course, the video went viral faster than a French meme on TikTok. The internet lit up like a croissant in a microwave. First, the Elysée Palace tried to pull a “that’s fake news, babes.” But eventually they pivoted to “it’s actually romantic, you just don’t get it.”

“It was a moment of closeness,” an Elysée official told Reuters, with the confidence of someone trying to explain why their partner threw a baguette at their head during brunch.

On Monday (May 26), Macron addressed the face-shove heard ‘round the world. “We were just joking around, as we always do,” he said, brushing off the slap like it was a speck of caviar. “We bicker and joke — and suddenly it’s a global crisis,” he added, visibly tired of explaining why his wife treats his face like a touchscreen she’s trying to unfreeze.

And honestly? Mood.

So next time your partner shoves you in the face in public, just remember: it’s not domestic drama. It’s “a moment of closeness.” Especially if you’re wearing matching jackets. Très chic. Très confusing. Très French.
