French President Emmanuel Macron is at the center of a media frenzy after a video surfaced showing his wife, Brigitte, appearing to shove him away as they exited a plane in Vietnam.
The incident occurred as the couple — married since 2007 —prepared for the start of a Southeast Asia tour over the weekend.
Caught on camera through a just-opened door of the plane, the interaction quickly garnered attention, prompting discussions and speculation about the couple's relationship.
However, Macron dismissed the uproar as largely exaggerated.
In a statement to reporters, he explained he was "squabbling and, rather, joking with my wife," according to the Associated Press. Macron emphasized that the moment was simply a playful exchange, not the serious spat some media outlets suggested.
