French Emmanuel Macron denies any “domestic dispute” with his wife Brigitte after images shot by the American news agency Associated Press upon the arrival of Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron in Vietnam sparked numerous comments on social media. “I was just joking with my wife,” he added. The president and his wife, Brigitte, arrived in Vietnam on May 26, 2025, for a Southeast Asian tour, aiming to strengthen France’s economic ties and position as a reliable partner amidst global tensions. Macron’s office downplayed the event, describing it as a harmless “squabble” and a moment of decompression before the trip, amidst a backdrop of fake news targeting Brigitte, including false claims about her gender.
