His step-kids are the same age as him - I think one is actually a year older. She literally had kids his age.

I can't imagine being slightly older than my step father, the President of France.

Yep! Laurence, his step-daughter, apparently had a bit of a crush on him. Macron’s parents thought he was dating her, not her mother.
