What is the connection between the famous piano piece transcribed for classical guitar called “Asturias” and the second wife of the current President of the French Republic?

How many times has been married? I believe his last wife was his second. If not, this makes no sense ! The piece Asturias, one of several of his pieces intended to invoke places in Spain,is by Isaac Albeniz. The last Mme Sarkozy has now adopted a formal style for her name which ends Albeniz
OK, I think I have it! Cécilia Ciganer-Albéniz was the second wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy. She is also the great granddaughter of Isaac Albéniz, the composer of Asturias.
