Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron are having a good time. The couple was recently photographed enjoying their summer on the south of France, where the two played all sorts of water sports alongside their kids and family.
The couple was photographed enjoying themselves aboard a yacht, with Emmanuel practicing different water sports, like riding a jet ski, a dinghy, swimming in the water, and boarding a surfboard.
He was accompanied by his wife, Brigitte, who was also seen aboard a jet ski. The two were accompanied by friends and family, including Brigitte’s granddaughter, Elise, and her grandson, Aurèle.
Emmanuel, who’s normally seen wearing business suits and attending political meetings and events, was photographed looking relaxed and having fun, practicing some mock drills with his bodyguards and enjoying the water in various states of undress, including wearing a wet suit and taking a dip without his shirt on.

Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron have been married for years, with the couple first meeting when he was a 15-year-old high school student and she was a teacher. The pair married in 2007, when he was 29 and she was 54, and have made headlines for their devoted relationship and 24-year age gap.
In recent months, the couple has made headlines after Brigitte was seen pushing Emmanuel’s face as the two were departing a private flight. The moment was captured on camera and shows Emmanuel waiting for the plane doors to open fully, with his wife’s arm reaching towards his face and shoving him away.

His office also published a statement. “It was a moment where the president and his wife were decompressing one last time before the start of the trip by horsing around. It’s a moment of complicity. It was all that was needed to give ammunition to the conspiracy theorists,” they said.
