PARIS — Two months after his divorce, is President Sarkozy back on the dating scene?
Mr. Sarkozy was spotted at Disneyland Paris last weekend with supermodel-turned-singer Carla Bruni, who once dated Mick Jagger and Donald Trump.
The president’s office would not comment, but reports speculated the very public appearance — in a crowded theme park, with paparazzi on their trail — amounted to an announcement that they are together.
Le Figaro, a newspaper seen as close to the conservative president, ran a front-page image yesterday of the blue-eyed Ms. Bruni over the headline “Carla Bruni: The President’s Girlfriend.”
The director of Point de Vue magazine, Colombe Pringle, said she believes Mr. Sarkozy and Ms. Bruni’s appearance was calculated.
“If you go to Disneyland to see the parade, that means you want people to know about it,” Ms. Pringle said.
