The official says the computer, a camera and video materials were taken Sunday when the Paris apartment of Julien Enthoven was burgled. Enthoven is the younger brother of Bruni-Sarkozy's former companion, philosophy professor Raphael Enthoven.
The official was speaking Monday on condition of anonymity, in accordance with police policy.
Bruni-Sarkozy and Raphael Enthoven had a child, Aurelien, before separating.
The Italian-born singer and former model married French President Nicolas Sarkozy last year, shortly after his divorce from his second wife.
