How old is the wife of the new French president. Emmanuel Macron: a new dream for French women
The first lady of France is called behind her back in the press eminence grise who manages behind her husband's back state affairs. There are also all sorts of tales circulating about the President himself. But French women state one fact: the current President is smart, handsome, charming, and his wife is much older than him. Let's try to figure out what is the truth and what is the speculation of journalists and what the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron really is like (photo).
Let's start with the fact that the wife current president France is his school teacher, whose grandchildren Macron babysits on weekends. Since the French are passionate people who love emotions, therefore most of The female gender of this country is perplexed as to why this happened. After all, Macron has many fans of all ages and why does he need an elderly wife.
It is true that Brigitte Macron is almost 25 years older than her husband. If you look at photos of Brigitte in her youth and now, there is practically no difference. In any photograph you can see how the eyes of a woman passionate about her work sparkle. Emmanuel's wife has seven grandchildren, and her husband is only 40 years old. She is a former teacher French and Latin.
The wife of the current President of France, Brigitte Macron, was born on April 13, 1953 in the family of Simone and Jean Tronier. In addition to Brigitte, the family had 5 more children. Her dad is a confectionery owner and chocolate maker in Amiens. The Troniers were a very wealthy family.
Brigitte got married for the first time in 1974. She bore her husband three children, who now have their own families. Brigitte first taught languages in France, after which she moved to Strasbourg.
Tired of her unstable place of residence, the future bearer of the surname Macron returned to Amiens and got a job as a teacher at the local Jesuit lyceum, where Emmanuel attended. He was a classmate of her daughter Laurence. The bright student enjoyed attending classes and a theater class under Brigitte.
The wife of French President Macron: a novel
Their beautiful story love began in 1994, when Emmanuel was 17 years old. To become the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, Brigitte will need a long journey (photo). And then, so that their relationship would not become public and a scandal would not arise, Emmanuel’s parents sent him to finish his studies in Paris.
Almost everyone in their native Amiens knew about the romance between the teacher and her student. This city will never accept her as family after what happened. The teacher’s husband was the last person to find out about her infidelities. As relatives of the ex testify married couple, this discovery was a big blow for Andre. He would never have thought that his wife, the woman who bore him three children, was cheating on him with a boy. Especially with his daughter’s classmate. The husband did not suspect about the rival for exactly as long as they had been together for years.
Andre received Emmanuel at his home and was sure until the very end, just like the student’s parents, that he was friends with Laurence. Having learned the bitter truth, Oziera left them family home. Brigitte separated from her husband Andre Louis Ozier in 2006, and in next year he and Macron signed.
She's always there
The President's wife first appeared in secular society at a diplomatic dinner in 2015, when Emmanuel became a politician. He briefly served as France's Minister of Economy. When Macron ran for President of France, Brigitte was his faithful assistant, although she remained in the shadows. But it is she who the husband trusts unconditionally.
She and her children helped him participate in election campaign and voted for him. The presidential candidate promised the people that if he wins, he and his wife will be equal in political activity.
And on May 15, 2017, Brigitte’s husband, Emmanuel Macron, became the President of France. He wanted to give his wife presidential powers of a certain kind, but the people began to collect signatures against this step. By the way, more than 200 thousand signatures were collected. None of the politicians expected such an onslaught from the French people. Having become the head of the country, three months later Macron nevertheless endowed the First Lady with representative opportunities, giving her an unpaid job in the Presidium. He made a statement to the country that his wife's position would not be paid for with taxpayers' money.
The wife of the President of the Republic of France, Brigitte Macron (photo), is engaged in researching the problems of ordinary people and helping to solve them. She analyzes where there are gaps in the legislation and then transmits the data to the government. The people, seeing that the wife of the head of state was trying to help in some areas of their lives, reached out to Brigitte.
Numerous requests, complaints, petitions - all this is sent directly to the First Lady and nothing remains unanswered. Its goal is to improve the social well-being of families in the country who are faced with problems that the state sometimes simply does not have enough time to solve.
Brigitte effect
The First Lady always looks one hundred percent. She is slim, tanned, and sparkles with her snow-white smile. She always wears exquisite outfits, which speaks of her excellent taste. There were rumors that the wife of the head of the Republic dresses in ultra-fashionable outfits donated to her by leading French couturiers. This turned out to be an invention of the common people and envy on the part of those dissatisfied with her husband’s rise to power.
She inspired thousands of women her age throughout France. With her story, Brigitte showed that all ages are submissive to love, no matter how old she is. Thousands of letters are written to her, where French women thank her for setting an example far from young women who thought their lives were over. Not a single wife of a French president who has been in power has received so many letters from ordinary people.
Some addresses touch on the politics and activities of the First Lady. But mostly Brigitte is written by people her age, who send her photos of themselves in their youth, talking about their failed love. Women thank the President’s wife for her courage in her actions, impeccable style and an example of decent relationships between spouses of different ages.
To communicate with journalists and her people, the First Lady has an assistant, Michelle Marchand. Due to the fact that Emmanuel became President, his wife at first had to hold back the onslaught of negativity about her age. It was Michelle who took on the role of a barrier to protect Macron from criticism.
Michelle developed her activities in such a way that gradually the French’s opinion of Brigitte changed dramatically. In fashion magazines you can see the stylish First Lady, articles about the love story of the President and his wife, advice from Brigitte on the pages of Internet resources. Michelle arranged this and much more during numerous PR campaigns for the wife of the President of the Republic of France Emmanuel Macron (photo).
Macrons always appear at all events together, holding hands. Almost every joint photo you can see the blooming President of France, who is not shy about kissing his wife in public. She is a powerful support for him, his muse to whom he dedicated his life.
Wife of French President Macron, as seen in the photo happy couple- this is the very case when the age of love is not a hindrance. The love story of Brigitte and Emmanuel is so unusual and beautiful that it could serve as a script for a romantic film.
According to many, it was the charismatic wife who helped Macron win the presidential election. Read about the biography of the First Lady, as well as how old she was and when they met.
Brigitte Tronier
Since the presidential elections took place in France, Madame and Monsieur Macron have been the most talked about French couple. And because new president- very young for such a position (he won the election at 39 years old), and because his wife is a very interesting and bright woman. But the main thing that interested the public was how old the president’s wife is.
Many were confused by the significant age difference: Brigitte is 24 years older than her husband. And despite this, they demonstrate a very happy and harmonious relationship.
French President Macron's wife in the photo - happy woman, which destroys all stereotypes and proves that age difference cannot become an obstacle to love. And that these are just prejudices.

She had big family- There were six children in total in the family. The family was wealthy, since the factory was ancient family business- brought them significant income.

Meeting with the future President of France
They met when the young man was only 15 years old. In the photo in her youth, Brigitte looks like a very bright young woman, so it is not surprising that there was sympathy on the part of the young man. However, their relationship did not go beyond the “teacher-student” line.
She taught him literature, he was interested in poetry, so they were interested in communicating about literary topics.
However, Emmanuel’s too close communication with the teacher could not go unnoticed, especially since the young man could not hide his feelings. But Brigitte still remained married woman and mother of three children. The conservative town in northern France could not positively perceive such a relationship. To avoid scandal, Emmanuel's parents decided to send him to Paris.
However, the young man proved that even the distance of love is not a hindrance. He promised Brigitte before leaving that he would return and marry her.
As it turned out, on his part this was not just a fleeting youthful hobby, but a truly real feeling. He returned to hometown in 2006 and reminded her of his promise.
The woman thought for a while, but that same year she decided to divorce her husband. Already in 2007, Emmanuel fulfilled his dream and married Brigitte.
Now she is everyone famous wife French President Macron, and in the photo - a happy, loving and beloved wife. It is noteworthy that, in order to prove the seriousness of his intentions, Macron not only married the woman he loved, but also officially adopted her children.
Happy family life
Macron himself claims in every interview that everything he has achieved in life is the merit of his beloved wife. The President of France very often appears in public with his wife. Her children and grandchildren also live nearby in Paris.
You can often see family idyll, when the presidential couple with Brigitte’s children and grandchildren go out into nature, where Emmanuel happily nurses his wife’s grandchildren.
The presidential couple does not hide their feelings, proving that all discussions about the age difference are just prejudices that mean nothing when we're talking about O true love. They appear together in public, hold hands, look genuinely happy in spite of all the envious people and spiteful critics.
The president's opponents have spread rumors that he has an unconventional reputation and that the marriage is just a sham. To this, Macron always replied that his wife is the main and beloved woman in his life, and he simply does not pay attention to gossip.
The main thing is that the presidential couple looks happy, and no age difference matters to them. Macron admitted in one of his interviews that he is not even at all saddened by the fact that he does not have biological children, since he is truly happy with the family he has. And in this, in his opinion, the main merit is Brigitte.
Brigitte - style icon
The wife of French President Macron, as seen in the photo, always dresses with great taste and knows how to emphasize her attractiveness with the right clothes. Thanks to her energy, brightness, and expressive style, she looks very youthful.
Thanks to slim figure Brigitte can wear tight outfits that perfectly emphasize her youthfulness. She prefers simple trousers, elegant dresses, classic suits and fashionable outfits, for example, tight jeans. The First Lady dresses very stylishly; the main thing for her is comfort and elegance.

The wives of French leaders often found themselves at the center of scandals, hitting the front pages of newspapers due to excessive spending, adultery, betrayal or even murder. And none of them had such a decisive influence on their spouse’s career as happened with Brigitte Tronier. Twenty-four years older than her husband, she became his guide and adviser when Emmanuel Macron was just 15 years old and now plays an important role in his campaign, advising him on speeches and setting his agenda.

"Emmanuel Macron could not have made this journey alone," said Marc Ferracci, a campaign manager who attended the couple's 2007 wedding as a witness. "Her support is crucial to him."
With only two weeks left before the first round of elections in France, numerous polls show Macron as the favorite. It is possible that he will advance to the second round together with Marine Le Pen (" National Front") and will even defeat her by a large margin.
“If I am elected - I apologize, if we are elected! - she will be with me, she will have her own role and place,” Macron, 39, said about his 63-year-old wife Brigitte, speaking on March 8 in Paris. “I I owe her a lot: she helped me become who I am."
Portraits of many first ladies of France ended up in history books: Marie Antoinette's squandering contributed to the fall of the monarchy in late XVIII c., and Empress Josephine could not give Napoleon an heir, which is why he divorced her. In 1914, the wife of Prime Minister Joseph Caillot, Henriette, killed the editor of the newspaper Le Figaro because he was threatening political career her husband.

If Macron and his wife become the new inhabitants of the Elysee Palace, Bridget can be included in the list of the most remarkable first ladies.
In the 1980s and 90s, when Socialist President François Mitterrand led double life secretly meeting with his mother illegitimate daughter Mazarin, his wife Danielle, arranged her own love life.
Bernadette Chirac told a biographer that she silently endured numerous betrayals her husband Jacques, while Nicolas Sarkozy's wife, Cecilia, left him for her lover 6 months after the inauguration. In 2014 common-law wife François Hollande's Valerie Trierweiler has published a bitter memoir about the president, whose relationship with actress Julie Gayet became public knowledge.
The challenge for Macron and his wife, if they do become residents of the Elysee Palace in May, will be to prevent their personal history from becoming a distraction (their age difference is the same as Donald and Melania Trump, only in this case the wife is older). New French President will take office against the backdrop of world events such as Brexit and the election of Trump, while France's own economy is recovering falteringly and the unemployment rate is still at 10%.

Brigitte, who previously taught French literature and Latin, was born into the Trogneux family, which owned chocolate factory in Amiens, northern France. In 1992, she taught theater at a private Jesuit school: it was then that Bridget met 15-year-old Macron. He took part in her productions, and gradually the relationship between the two grew into closer ones - to the point that Bridget divorced her husband and father of her three children.

Despite the fact that they have been married for 10 years, this union still causes bewilderment in society - and the attention will only intensify if the couple one day finds themselves in the spotlight of the Elysee Palace.
Realizing that they are violating the foundations of bourgeois-conservative France, the independent candidate and his partner are trying to prevent any attacks against them. "They unusual couple, and this only strengthens their relationship,” says Ferracci.
To get ahead of their ill-wishers, they opened the doors to their lives and even began to appear on the covers of glossy magazines like the large-circulation Paris Match, where the couple is depicted in swimsuits while relaxing by the sea. April issue British Vogue dedicated a note to Madame Macron: “persistent tan, bleached hair, expensive designer bag and stilettos.”
Macron has twice debunked rumors that he is allegedly homosexual. He even spontaneously raised this topic at one of the rallies, joking that he would need a hologram to lead a double life. He is also not afraid to directly discuss issues related to the marriage of a teacher and a student.
"We have unusual family“You can’t deny it,” he says. Bridget stands nearby in her signature outfit - a denim jacket and tight black trousers. “But this doesn’t make our family less loving.”
The couple recently made a new friend who can help them save face in the press. Michelle Marchand (nicknamed Mimi), the head of one of the most influential photo agencies in France, Bestimage, declared herself a supporter of Macron.
“They are real and normal, that’s all I can say,” Marchand said in an interview.

People who have worked with Macron say Brigitte is one of the few people he trusts. Alexis Kohler, who headed Macron's cabinet when he was economics minister, recalls her influence. "She attended business meetings with him. This is a woman who is involved in her husband's life."
Bridget is largely responsible for her husband's campaign. IN documentary film France3 shows Macron preparing to give an important speech when his wife rushes out to give him instructions. "You should lower your voice on the word 'to,'" she says, "and raise it to make your point." When Macron was asked about his wife's presence at one of the meetings, he replied: "Her opinion is important to me." She, in turn, calls herself the “head of the fan club” of Macron.

Speaking about this relationship, Bridget quotes Montaigne: “We polish our mind on the mind of another,” she said in 2015 on Canal Plus. Friends claim that the couple is united by a love of intellectual duels and literature.
Like President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, who made his wife Anne-Eimone in the 1970s key figure In his presidential career, Macron promised that if elected, he would achieve official status for his wife, “but without a salary.” Bridget supports this plan.
“For 20 years I was involved in everything he did,” she told reporters in Strasbourg. “It always surprises you that wives are next to their husbands. It’s time these views change. This is where we belong.”

24 April 2017, 13:16Macron is a figure without a clear ideological message at all (“neither left nor right, but quite the opposite,” as Macron himself says about himself) and with an unconventional personal life: he is married to his former teacher, who is 24 years older than him, and carefully babysits her grandchildren. Important role It was his love story that played a role in increasing his rating: many French housewives of Balzac’s age are touched by the feelings that the young handsome Macron has for his Bridget, trying this situation on themselves. And of course, technologies “targeted” at different electoral groups are literally copied one after another from Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
WITH recently Mr. Macron has somehow become too much in both newspapers and magazines. Touching photographs of the Ministry of Finance, tenderly holding his wife’s hand, even more touching photos of the Ministry of Finance bottle-feeding his grandchildren (although he is not obliged, not him...). The wife of the Ministry of Finance gives a detailed interview to the most popular weekly magazine Paris Match - and everything is only about her husband, about what he is like wonderful person. And when a certain young lady tried to take him away from Bridget, the Ministry of Finance pointedly sued her for harassment. “I love my wife,” he said then in front of journalists, and the entire female audience answered him “Ah!” It was then that it became obvious to others, including Hollande: Mr. Macron was aiming to become the next president of France. Why not? On the face an exemplary family man And toughie. And now he has his own party. In general, it appears that the charming and cunning Emmanuel Macron has every chance of winning the presidential election in 2017. At a minimum, he has already won over the female part of the electorate.
They met more than 20 years ago in a small provincial town, when Macron was studying at a Christian religious school, and Trono was his teacher. He was 15, she was 35, he was a student at the lyceum, she was a teacher. Agree, not too much classic story. However, even in France, free from all prejudices, it’s unlikely that anyone would like such a plot, so for a long time the couple did not cross the cherished line. They first met one-on-one when Emmanuel was in high school. Then Brigitte and the future French Ministry of Finance were completely innocently staging a theatrical play, and therefore spent every evening together. Now, looking at Madame Macron, one can assume that in her youth she was very pretty, and, to be honest, now Bridget is also in in great shape. Joint activities dragged on for two years. Emmanuel followed his teacher like a tail, accompanied her home, which, naturally, her husband did not like, but there was no way to confuse the stubborn teenager. On his 17th birthday, Emmanuel told Bridget: “No matter what you do, no matter how you dodge me, I will marry you.” Then the woman only laughed at the arrogant young man - in addition to her husband, with whom Bridget lived for quite a long time, the teacher already had three children. However, a few years later, the future Madame Macron divorced, unexpectedly, perhaps even for herself, and married Emmanuel in 2007, so the lovers have been happy together for almost ten years.
A little about Bridget)
Her family was involved in the production of chocolate products and macarons (funny coincidence:), a French confectionery product made from egg whites, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, ground almonds and food coloring.
Macron's opponents are exaggerating the topic sexual orientation presidential candidate and claim that his wife is just a distraction.
Another problem for Macron - especially against the backdrop of compromising evidence on Francois Fillon - is correspondence with former candidate for US President Hillary Clinton. Allegedly, while still Minister of Economy, Macron discussed future plans with Clinton when they both became presidents.

Emmanuel Macron - biography
French women are greedy for charming and successful men. If they had their way, handsome Emmanuel Macron would have been the president of the country long ago. Although, perhaps it will be.
Just a few months ago, Marine Le Pen and Francois Fillon were going to share the presidency exclusively between themselves. There were no other contenders. But it’s already clear: they were in a hurry. Fillon was accused of embezzling money from the treasury, after which his ratings fell, and Le Pen's program seems too radical to many French people. Fortunately, a new candidate has appeared, a “youngster” by political standards - but what a spectacular one!
Macron's career
The biography of Emmanuel Macron began 39 years ago, namely on December 21, 1977. Emmanuel's parents, doctors by profession, did not force their son to follow in their footsteps. Even at school, the boy showed himself to be a born diplomat, and his father and mother decided to give him an appropriate education. Macron Jr. trained at the Institute political studies and in National school administration, one of the most prestigious educational institutions France. The entire elite of the country “marked” within its walls, and he was the cream on this cake.
Smart, educated, well-spoken and own view for each political event, Emmanuel simply could not remain out of work. In 2004, he was offered a position as an inspector at the Ministry of Economy. There to energetic young man Jacques Attali, who was an adviser to several presidents, took a closer look and immediately saw promising employees. In 2008, Attali helped Macron get a job as an analyst at famous bank Rothschilds.
Career in political biography Emmanuel's life developed rapidly. In just 4 years, he rose to the rank of partner in a company with an income of 1 million euros per year.
Emmanuel Macron - I'll run for president!
Jacques Attali selected the team of many prominent politicians. He sincerely sympathized with Macron, so when in 2010 Francois Hollande needed “ right hand"On economic issues, Attali proposed the candidacy of Emmanuel. And two years later, Hollande sat in the presidential chair, and the Elysee Palace opened its doors to the lucky Macron.
On August 26, 2014, Emmanuel Macron was appointed Minister of Economy, Industry and digital technologies. Not everyone took it kindly. “He’s only 36 years old!” - the old-timers exclaimed. But what could they do?
Macron finally had the opportunity to voice his position. This is how the French learned that he was a supporter of European unification, market economy and is tough against terrorism. Emmanuel also managed to demonstrate his strength of character: at one of the rallies he was pelted with eggs, but he didn’t even blink an eye. Macron has become the ideal of a real politician - tenacious, ambitious and promising.
He seemed like an open book to everyone, but how wrong the people were... In 2016, when President Hollande’s ratings began to slide down, Macron resigned and declared that he wanted to become the next president of France.
Emmanuel Macron - biography of personal life
A person applying for the post of the first person of the state must be prepared for close attention to his person. And to the fact that much of his biography will become public knowledge.
Long time French different ages Macron was considered eligible bachelor. Their hopes collapsed overnight: it turned out that Emmanuel’s heart had been occupied for a long time. But the fact that Mrs. Macron, aka Brigitte Trogneux, is 24 years old older than husband, shocked everyone! When the couple entered into a legal marriage in 2007, the groom was 29 years old and the bride 53. However, they were quickly forgiven for the misalliance upon learning touching story their love.
Emmanuel first saw Bridget at the age of 15 - during a lesson at the school he attended. She taught French and immediately captivated the young man’s imagination. The woman was married, raised three children and could not even imagine having a relationship with a student. But more and more often they were left alone - either rehearsing a school play or studying grammar. Then Emmanuel began to accompany the teacher to the house, where her angry husband was waiting for her.
At the age of 17, Macron already knew for sure: Bridget was the love of his life. He told her: “Do what you want, but don’t get away from me. You will still become my wife!” Tronyo then just grinned.
The young man's parents suspected something was wrong and sent him to study in Paris. Emmanuel did not see Bridget for several years, but did not forget about her. And when they met again, they realized that they needed each other. Soon Bridget filed for divorce and married a former student.
At first, Bridget remained in the shadows: the couple were afraid that society would not understand them. But when the secret became clear, they decided not to hide anymore. On the contrary, they presented their story as an example true love, loyalty and devotion.
In public, they look at each other with tenderness and always hold hands. Bridget, although not young, looks great. Her children are the same age as Macron, who, by the way, gets along well with them. Moreover, Bridget can boast of grandchildren - she has six of them. Emmanuel also takes care of the babies: touching photographs appeared in the press in which the politician feeds the baby from a bottle.
Bridget herself did not strive for power and fame. She, as before, teaches at school - now in Paris, to be closer to her husband. A woman supports her beloved in everything and believes in him like no one else.
Meanwhile, envious people from time to time try to disturb their peace. So, recently a certain 29-year-old person announced her connection with Macron. He was not at a loss and immediately sued her for harassment. He explained simply: “I don’t want anything to make my wife worry. I love her very much".
And yet his missus had to worry about it. Some time later, Emmanuel was accused of having an affair with the head of a French radio station. What added piquancy to the accusation was the fact that the head turned out to be... a man - Matthew Gale. The couple was allegedly seen together several times. However, it is not for nothing that Macron has always been considered an excellent diplomat. “Perhaps my double was at this meeting?” - He smiled, commented on the situation and closed the question. The rumors remained rumors.
Emmanuel Macron - "I want to unite the French"
Emmanuel Macron's desire to participate in the presidential election came as a surprise to many. But he thought of everything in advance! First he created the “Forward” movement, calling it “neither right nor left.” It attracted the attention of those of his compatriots who were tired of left and right parties. They liked Emmanuel's slogan: "I want to unite the French."
Next, the politician published the book “Revolution,” which immediately became a bestseller. Macron does not promise anything concrete to voters; his program is often called vague. And, according to rumors, his ratings are artificially inflated. However, there are more and more people who see in him hope for the well-being of France.
For example, not long ago 10 thousand people came to meet him in Lyon. Macron, seeing such an impressive number of voters, was even taken aback for a split second. But then he pulled himself together, “put on” his famous smile and went out to those who, perhaps in a few months, would make him the president of the country...
