Tiphaine Auzière, the 42-year-old daughter of French First Lady Brigitte Macron, has publicly revealed her new relationship with 22-year-old entrepreneur Antoine Lecomte. Auzière, a lawyer who runs her own law firm in Paris and published her first novel, Assises, in 2024, shared candid clips and photos of the pair on her Instagram feed. The couple recently completed a 48-hour trip to Amsterdam, where they were documented visiting the Faralda Crane Hotel, touring local artistic hangouts, and sharing ice cream dates.
Meeting Antoine Lecomte in Le Touquet
Reports indicate that the pair met this summer in the northwestern French coastal town of Le Touquet, where the Macron family owns a house. Lecomte, who hails from Lille, was working as a kitesurfing instructor at the resort town during the summer. According to accounts of their meeting, Lecomte taught the sports-loving Auzière how to ride an e-foil, an electric surfboard, and sparks instantly flew between lessons.
A close friend of Auzière told Gala that the two were clearly attracted to each other from the very beginning, noting that the couple shares a love for Le Touquet, thrills, travel, and entrepreneurship.

Lecomte is currently a student at the French business school NEOMA, where he is studying Business Administration. He is also the founder of the brand Mission Kiteboarding, which deals with equipment for the sport. The couple has reportedly been discussing joint professional projects, and Auzière is said to be planning to accompany Lecomte to Asia, where he is developing his business. Shortly after their meeting in Le Touquet, the pair was also spotted at the Touquet Music Beach festival.

Parallel with the marriage of Brigitte Macron
The relationship has drawn significant media attention due to the parallel with the marriage of Auzière’s mother. French First Lady Brigitte Macron is 24 years older than her husband, French President Emmanuel Macron, who is 48. Auzière, who is 20 years older than Lecomte, has previously been a fierce defender of her mother’s marriage. In 2018, Auzière stated that if she were to describe the ideal image of love, it would be that of Emmanuel and her mother. Brigitte Macron famously met the current president when he was a 15-year-old student at La Providence high school in Amiens and she was a 39-year-old drama teacher. Brigitte once remarked that the only fault Emmanuel has is being younger than her.

An acquaintance of the couple noted that, much like Brigitte, Auzière follows her heart and remains indifferent to the opinions of others.

This new relationship follows the conclusion of Auzière’s 15-year partnership with gastroenterologist Antoine Choteau, the father of her two children, 10-year-old Aurèle and 12-year-old Élise. It has been reported that Auzière has already taken the milestone step of introducing Lecomte to her children. While some reports mentioned a recent breakup between Auzière and French TV host Cyril Hanouna, the focus remains on her flourishing connection with Lecomte as they look toward future professional endeavors together.
