When Emmanuel Macron was first elected president of France, he often noted that his wife Brigitte had a huge role in it. She wrote speeches for him, instructed him how to breathe and how to move. Moreover, she was the first to notice Macron’s intellect and potential. And it is thanks to her that he managed to achieve great success in the world of politics.
Romance between a teacher and a student
However, it is no secret that their relationship was controversial from the very beginning. Brigitte and Emmanuel met when the future politician was only 14 years old. The woman was his French teacher at a Catholic school at the time. Just a year later, their relationship began. The whole school quickly started gossiping about this relationship. The news about Emmanuel’s relationship quickly reached his parents. As you can easily guess, they were not thrilled. Not only was Brigitte 25 years older than their son, but she also already had a husband and three children.
“I will come back and marry you”
Macron’s parents, who strongly opposed this relationship, sent their son to Paris. They hoped that this would make the boy forget about the teacher. He, however, had other plans. – You will not free yourself from me, I will come back and marry you – assured the future politician then. Initially, Brigitte was convinced that Macron would definitely be interested in someone else. – I was hoping that while in Paris she would fall in love with someone her own age – she admitted in one of the interviews. Ultimately, the woman separated from her first husband and went to Paris to marry Emmanuel. However, the couple only got married in 2007.
Brigitte Macron on her children: You can imagine what they heard
Brigitte recently revealed why she waited 10 years to decide to marry a partner who was much younger than herself. It turns out that her main fear was the reactions of those around her to this relationship. Her adult children often had to deal with unpleasant comments. – It took ten years to get it back on track. You can imagine what they heard, but I didn’t want to miss my life, she said in an interview with “Paris Match”.
