Brigitte Macron’s daughter has revealed a new relationship with a surf instructor two decades younger, drawing comparisons with her mother’s marriage to the French president Emmanuel Macron.

Tiphaine Auzière, 42, shared a video of herself on social media with 22-year-old Antoine Lecomte during a romantic break in the Dutch capital of Amsterdam. Mr Lecomte captioned the video of their travels together ‘48h in dam with Madam’.

The couple met in the French resort town of Le Touquet, where he works as a kitesurfing instructor, according to The Telegraph.

“It was immediately obvious between them,” a close from of Tiphaine told French outlet Gala. “They have a lot in common: a love of Le Touquet and thrills, but also travel and entrepreneurship.”

While working as a water sports instructor, Mr Lecomte has launched his own business named Mission Kiteboarding, which designs kitesurfing equipment in Le Toquet.

Friends told Gala the pair give each other professional advice and that she is soon expected to travel with him to Asia.

Going public with the relationship soon drew comparisons to her mother’s relationship with Emmanuel Macron, who is 24 years younger than she is.

Ms Macron, 73, was famously a married 40-year-old teacher and mother of three when she met the future president as a 15-year-old schoolboy in Amiens. The pair reportedly began dating when he was 16 and they married when he was 29.

Ms Auzière is said to be serious about her relationship with the 22-year-old business student from Lille, having already introduced him to Élise and Aurèle, Brigitte Macron’s two children from her previous marriage – a step she had never taken before, according to Gala.

A friend told the outlet that Mr Lecomte is soon expected to meet the French first lady, who is said to have “reacted just like any mother would: all that matters to her is her daughter’s happiness, so she’s very happy to see her thriving”.

“She’ll be delighted to meet Antoine.”

Brigitte Macron this year acknowledged the strain of public life on her relationships, telling La Tribune Dimanche that her role had left her “sometimes sadder than I have ever been”, having exposed her to the “darkness of the world, the stupidity, the wickedness”.

Reflecting on how her life had changed, the former teacher admitted: “Sometimes I find it hard to see the blue sky. I have moments of pessimism that I didn’t have before.”

Earlier this year, ten people were found guilty of cyber-bullying Mrs Macron after spreading false claims about her gender and sexuality, as well as making “malicious remarks” about the age gap between her and her husband.

President Macron silenced critics in past comments to Le Parisien, saying: “If I was 20 years older than my wife, nobody would think for a single second that we couldn’t be legitimately together.

“It’s because she is 20 years older than me that a lot of people say, ‘This relationship can’t be tenable, it can’t be possible’.”
