Wrapped up against the autumn chill, the 12-day-old Giulia of the French President and First Lady was indeed hidden from public view. However, the images of Carla Bruni and President Nicolas Sarkozy walking arm in arm with their daughter make some French commentators cynical about their public appearance. Some even suspected that Nicolas Sarkozy’s aides had tipped off photographers.
Several political experts said that the images of Nicolas Sarkozy stepping out with his wife and his newborn baby daughter won’t do his electoral chances any harm at all. One expert said that the president wanted to be seen as a normal father who also loves enjoying some autumn’s fresh air and sunshine with his former supermodel wife and baby; but “as publicity shots of France’s First Family, they will take some beating,” he said.
President Nicolas Sarkozy, 56, looked casual in a white shirt and a blue scarf while the new mother Carla Bruni, 43, whose daughter Giulia was born on October 20, has shifted not back into her glamorous ways but into full-on mom mode, wearing a grey cardigan, stretch pants, and flat soles, which help to disguise the 4in height difference between the couple.
Mr Sarkozy, who married Carla Bruni following a whirlwind romance of just 80 days in 2008, has three sons from his two previous marriages. Mr. Sarkozy has his first two sons Pierre, 26, and Jean, 25, from his first marriage to Marie-Dominique Culioli, and the third son Louis, 14, from his second to Cecilia Ciganer-Albéniz. Meanwhile, Carla Bruni also has a 10-year-old son Aurelien with Raphael Enthoven, a Paris philosopher.
Nicolas Sarkozy has received many things as gifts after the birth of his baby Giulia from presidents from all over the world, including British Prime Minister David Cameron, Morocco’s King Mohamed VI, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former French President Jacques Chirac and former First Lady Bernadette Chirac.
