Among them, Jérôme Pécresse, husband of the candidate Les Républicains, confided in the columns of Le
Point
on Wednesday February 2.
Asked about the future of his couple in the event of his wife's victory, the businessman and CEO of General Electric, replied: "If that means that I have to bear a large part of the mental load of the household and that I'm the one who has to take care of the children and do the cooking, that's not a problem for me, on the contrary”.

"Without him, I wouldn't last"
Same speech on the side of Jean-Marc Germain, husband and adviser to the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, candidate of the Socialist Party in the presidential election.
“We talk about everything, all the time.
Without him, I wouldn't hold out," she confided to
Paris Match
in December 2021. And the former deputy for Hauts-de-Seine, father of her son Arthur (21), added in the show " Intimate ambition” against Karine Le Marchand: “I am hyper feminist.
I do the cooking and the shopping."
For their part, Marine Le Pen and Christiane Taubira now seem to be moving forward alone.
In the past, they have also been able to count on the support of their partner.
The National Rally candidate shared her life with Louis Aliot, vice-president of the FN, very involved in his presidential campaign in 2017 against Emmanuel Macron.
That same year, he notably assured: “The day she enters the Elysée, I stop everything.”
The two political figures separated in 2019, after ten years of living together.
