That’s according to one to France’s best known publications, Paris Match.

She was asked by the magazine which first spouse she got on with best, during a trip to India last week, and chose Destenay, an architect.

“I love him! He’s my favourite”, Paris Match quoted Brigitte Macron as saying in an article published on 20 March 2018.

She also said that “I really like” Maria Clemencia Rodriguez, the first lady of Colombia, and that she had a good relationship with Melania Trump, wife of the US president, who she will see in Washington in April.

Destenay was in Paris this week with his husband, Xavier Bettel, Luxembourg’s prime minister, as part of the grand duchy’s official state visit to France.

Paris Match is a weekly news and celebrity lifestyle magazine with a circulation of 540,000 print copies.
