Despite her presidential status, Chantal Biya is happiest when enjoying simple pleasures away from the spotlight...
It`s a little hard to imagine the First Lady popping down to the nearest supermarket to stock up on groceries.
Nor is it easy to picture her slaving over a hot stove preparing matched aubergines.for her husband, but that`s exactly what goes on when the Head of State and the First Lady retreat into their own private world and most of the time in Geneva in Switzerland and in Mvomeka`a in Cameroon..
Behind closed doors far away from the media glare, Paul and Chantal are very much a low-key couple who love nothing more than home-cooked " ndomba and ntumba i goan", a special dish dearly appreciated by men from Biya`s native region and made of freshwater fish cooked in deep steam covered with banana`s leaves and natural ingredients,.and home cinema.
Chantal Biya has taken to the role of dutiful wife like a duck to water. After a long day at work dealing with the day to day internal affairs and other serious businesses, Paul Biya returns home ( private apartment in the Presidential Palace) to find a warm bath waiting and a dinner on the table.
They are actually surprisingly normal and down-to-earth when the cameras are off, says an insider. Chantal has been a great influence on Paul Biya in that way. She introduced him to a simpler, easier way of life and he loves it. They like to watch movies, sleep in and have nice meals at home.
It`s the small pleasures in life that bring them the most happiness. Friends have revealed that the couple enjoy reading the papers together. It`s important to the pair that they`re able to do the everyday things we all take for granted, like attending a Sunday service in Church. They also love romantic dinners.
Amazingly Chantal recently in Paris has sneaked out of the palace grounds for secret evenings with another man. She likes to enjoy impromptu nights out to attend friends`cat walk and art exhibitions, passions not shared by Paul Biya.
She has kept closed contact with her friend and star Paris Hilton and also may have been advised by some to try and have with her some of the spice girls who can help her by funding her national campaign against Aids in Cameroon and in the rest of Africa. The first lady is working also to give back hope to young people and specially those from disadvantaged families.
Once upon a time she declared her love by jumping on a couch at the Presidential Palace. Now the passionate romance of Paul and Chantal Biya looks like it has been lost down the back of it. And things seem set to get very nasty indeed between the one-time lovebirds as Chantal seeks to get sole custody of their children according to an insider.
There are rumours that Chantal Biya who has made no secret of his dreams to become again a mother and step-grandmother is planning on taking a break from her presidential status.
