Who are Brigitte Macron’s children?
Brigitte was previously married to banker André-Louis Auzière. During their marriage, the couple had three children together: Sébastien, Laurence, and Tiphaine. Today, she is also a proud grandmother to seven grandchildren. All three of Brigitte’s children turned out to have successful careers as they went on to become a cardiologist, lawyer and a statistical engineer, as reported by People.
She revealed to Elle in 2017 that she was aware her relationship with Emmanuel will deeply hurt her children. However, she also realised that it was one step she had to take for herself.
She told the media outlet, “I know that I have hurt my children, and that is the thing I reproach myself for the most. But I couldn’t not do it. There are times in your life when you make critical choices. And for me, this was one of those times.”
