Sarkozy was still president at the time.
He’d divorced his second wife just months earlier.
Despite the quickie ceremony, the two appeared to have been very much in love.
“I was seduced by his physique and his intelligence,” Bruni said (viaThe Guardian).
“He has five or six brains that are remarkably irrigated.”

“Twenty years ago, he would have needed a woman who was more devoted to him.
And I would never have taken a man who has such a strong, dominating temper.
But we met when we were strong enough for each other,” she reflected.
Bruni described her 2008 to 2012 stint in the political spotlight as terrifying.
“I was scared all the time.
I was scared all the time for my husband.
I was scared for myself,” she told French magazineVoici(viaDaily Mail).
“I felt I was a target.”
When she was not battling anxiety, Bruni was bored.
After marrying, she stopped performing her music and became a housewife.

The dynamic in Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy’s marriage has certainly changed now.
It’s Sarkozy who, perCNN, will be staying at home.
