He met her in 2007 during a dinner organized by Jacques Séguela and never left her again. Lovers for fifteen years, Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni sometimes (and like all couples) have their little spats. Guest on the show The Great Chessboard on France 3 presented by Claire Chazal, on July 1, 2022, the former Head of State received a spade from his wife, a bit mocking. Come to interpret the title Sweet France by Charles Trenet, the former model first received praise from her husband, who greatly admired her performance.
“Listening to Carla, I said to myself that, in addition, there is a European culture. There is not simply a French culture. Finally, Carla, who has the double culture, singing in Italian Douce France, we find ourselves there. But that means we’re not just from his country, we’re from his continent.” he confided. Naughty, the former companion of Jean-Paul and Raphaël Enthoven could not help but joke about the not very glorious reputation of the French internationally: “And Jean Cocteau said that the Italians are French people in a very good mood!“.”Is that nice?“, then replied the former president, surely a little annoyed by the remark of his wife.
I admire him
But of course, it takes a lot more for the parents of Giulia (born in 2011) to argue. A few moments later, moreover, Nicolas Sarkozy paid tribute to the grace and elegance of his wife during their first official trip to London. “Carla was in an all-black carriage drawn by eight black horses, with the Duke of Edinburgh. When she came down, my heart was pounding, first with feelings and then with pride. With her little hat on my head, I thought, ‘We’re in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and when she curtsied, I would have married her a second time. (…) I admire him“, he revealed.
For her part, the 54-year-old singer also made a beautiful declaration of love to her husband during the show by performing one of her new titles. The Sad Boy. “I love this sad boy. As with every smile, he seems to apologize. I love how he knows how to believe, how he knows how to dazzle himself, simply to exist. […] Like all sad boys, he likes to play the cador, to play the king of the neighborhood“, she sang. Words that seem to perfectly describe the former President of the Republic who governed France from 2007 to 2012.
