At the time, Jean was also a student and a town councillor for his wealthy Paris suburb Neuilly-sur-Seine, where his father was once mayor, reported Connexion France. French website Gala reported in that the then year old has since "turned his back on politics to return to his first love by becoming a temporary lecturer in corporate law at the University of Paris XII". Aside from giving lectures on commercial law and contract law, Jean also works as a lawyer at a firm, "of which his father is one of the four partners".
In , The Sun reported how Sarkozy had to apologise after his then year-old son threw a tomato at a cop guarding the Elysee Palace. Louis and two pals launched an attack from the courtyard of the Paris residence, throwing missiles over a gate. These were not childish pranks - Louis is Following a path into fashion, he brought out a line of loafers with his business partner, and praised Mark Zuckerberg as "one of the most stylish men in the world".
The New York Times reported in that the then year old "is close to his extended family and they are supportive of his venture into footwear". Elle reported that Giulia is "already a mini-star" and a "miniature carbon copy of her famous mother". Kept it. He still has it. It was also a political sensation. Sarkozy was a rightwing politician, whereas Bruni had dropped out of the Sorbonne at 19 to become a supermodel, and soon the mistress of Mick Jagger, before moving on to Eric Clapton.
The political classes of Paris were agog at this profoundly unlikely presidential consort — glamorously bohemian, essentially apolitical — but she thinks her celebrity was helpful for her new role.
You have, like, this other person who has your name, who does all these strange things you don't do, and says all these strange things you never said," she giggles. The couple wed in February , just before Sarkozy's first state visit to Britain. They thought I was going to come and be provocative, right, because of my past.
But I studied what to do in front of the Queen, and I tried to do it very well. She can still quote the fawning headlines from Fleet Street's coverage — and says she didn't even mind that a tabloid published an old nude photograph of her on the day they arrived.
I thought, OK, this is a bit embarrassing — but I am 24, and slim," she laughs. The photo had been shot for an Aids campaign, and featured several other supermodels — "But they didn't marry the president, obviously," she giggles.
But I didn't really feel funny about artistic nude pictures. You know, the fashion world is not very erotic. It's not about sex at all, it's completely unsexy. It's related to some other kinds of desires, not sexual desire. No, no one flirted with me — apart from my man. In addition to Bruni's son, there were already three sons from Sarkozy's earlier marriages, but the couple longed for another baby. I thought I had a disease or something, a bad disease, because you know how the beginnings [of pregnancy] are funny: you smell people, and I got this craving for sugar, you know?
And I kept falling asleep. I would go up the stairs in my house and be really out of breath" — she feigns panting — "so I went to the doctor and they did blood tests and radiography, which is completely forbidden when you are pregnant.
These treatments, they are so toxic for the baby, but I didn't know I was pregnant. This article includes content provided by Spotify.

I couldn't believe it! I bought three tests! I thought maybe they did a mistake. When the pregnancy was confirmed, did any part of her panic?
I was like, oh my God, there is a God! He exists! I should have prayed! The pregnancy wasn't easy, nor were the early months. Every two hours at night," and she feigns exhausted despair. I was just, I can't, I can't do it. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, she sounded distressed and depressed by the media criticism of her pregnancy weight gain, but she says her comments were exaggerated.
But [the journalist] probably wanted to write something new, and I understand that. I don't fight systems. I never go against the system. Becoming a politician's wife taught her one thing, she says. Fun doesn't really work with this kind of position, so I couldn't play around — and me, I like a lot to play around for fun, you know?
