The Enthovens
While living with Jean-Paul Enthoven, Bruni fell in love and started an affair with his son, philosophy professor Raphaël Enthoven (track 2, Raphäel, of Carla's album Quelqu'un m'a dit is named after him), who was at the time married to novelist Justine Lévy, daughter of philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy. Bruni will later deny ever having an affair with Raphaël's father in an interview published in Vanity Fair, "I never slept with him, not even a minute."
The affair and the ending of her marriage were inspiration for Justine Lévy's book Rien de grave (Nothing Serious), published in 2004. In it, Lévy paints a vitriolic portrait of "Paula", the female who steals the protagonist's husband, as "a preying mantis" with "a Terminator smile".
Bruni and Raphaël Enthoven had a son, Aurélien, in 2001.
