Besson spotted alone

A fan spotted Éric Besson walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of December 16, 2025. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Éric back on the market?

A rep for Éric Besson was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the politician was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (December 17), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Éric’s phone number?”
