A video has surfaced online that appears to show the moment Brigitte Macron, wife of President Emmanuel Macron, 'slapped' her husband during a heated exchange on an official visit.

The viral video, filmed at Hanoi Airport in Vietnam on the evening of Sunday, May 25, 2025, shows President Macron through the aircraft door and captures Brigitte raising her hand toward his face, seemingly hitting him, while the French President looks surprised.

As the couple descends the stairs, Emmanuel Macron attempts to hold her hand, but she appears to ignore him.

The French President married Brigitte, his former La Providence high school teacher, in 2007.

They met during a theatre workshop she was leading when he was a 15-year-old student and she was a 39-year-old teacher.

His parents initially tried to separate the couple by sending him to Paris to complete his final year of schooling, as they believed the relationship was inappropriate due to his age.
