At the time, her mother Brigitte was a teacher, mother of three and married. Emmanuel Macron is almost 25 years younger than her, a minor and her student. The couple met in the theater group that she ran. Macron often rang the doorbell at the family's house in Amiens, and the rumor mill was bubbling, Auzière tells the magazine: "We were in a small provincial town. Everyone knew everything.” In addition to Auzière, there were two other children in the family: her sister Laurence, who was in the same class as Emmanuel Macron, and her older brother Sébastien. "The attacks, the slander, the judgments" were very hurtful for her, says the now 40-year-old, who works as a lawyer and has just published a novel. A separation is always painful, but "with a peculiarity like this it is even more painful." Meanwhile, Auzière has gotten over her parents' divorce. Her mother has been married to Emmanuel Macron since 2007. Today, she describes the way her stepfather, who is only six years older, interacts with the family as “brilliant” and “loving.”
