In An intimate ambition presented by Karine Le Marchand and broadcast on November 7, 2021, we will be able to discover five ambitious and influential women politicians. Among them is Valérie Pécresse, president of the Ile-de-France region and candidate for the Republican primary for the 2022 presidential elections. Through this program, we will know more about this former advisor to Jacques Chirac aged 54, usually very discreet about his private life. Married since 1994 with Jérôme Pécresse, she rarely appears with her family, even if she sometimes made some deviations, or rather her husband. The latter had confided in the pages of Paris Match in 2010.
In a relationship with Jérôme Pécresse for almost thirty years, Valérie née Roux had three children, Baptiste (25), Clément (23) and Émilie (18). She leaves her offspring out of the spotlight, marked by the media coverage of the arrest of her youngest son for possession of cannabis in 2016. However, she accepted an interview with her husband for Paris Match in 2010. The president of GE Renewable Power confided in his meeting with the woman of his life, crossed when she was a student at HEC and future enarque. They meet at a joint invitation for a wedding: “I’m going to a wedding convinced that my boyfriend is going to marry Valérie. In fact, she was a witness. It was love at first sight.“
Valérie Pécresse remembers the beginnings of her love story: “It seemed obvious, we had crossed paths for years. The most important decisions are not necessarily the ones that take the longest to make. Our surprised friends gave us six months. In congratulations they wished me good luck. “She succumbed to this top competitive bridge player who is also a feminist man, as she recently explained in Gala: “He had to endure the reverse machismo towards him. When the children were younger and I was a minister [de l’enseignement, NDLR] he took more than his share in the division of labor. ” It is not in the mouth of her husband that we will hear sexist remarks, like those she must have heard during her career.
