Emmanuel Macron wife: Who is Brigitte Trogneux, the former teacher 24 years his senior?
Express (UK) ^

Posted on 04/24/2017 6:50:56 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Mr Macron has been dubbed “chou-chou” (teacher’s pet) by French media because of his unusual relationship.

The 39-year-old is married to Brigitte Trogneux, a glamorous blonde who as well as being 24 years older than him, was also his high school drama teacher.

They first met when he was 15 years old and she was a 40-year-old married mother-of-three.

“He wasn’t like the others,” Brigitte told a French documentary last year, “he wasn’t a teenager. He had a relationship of equals with other adults.” Related articles

At 17, Mr Macron’s parents sent him to Paris to continue his studies after learning about his relationship with Brigitte.

His mother spoke to Anna Fulda, author of the book Emmanuel Macron: A Perfect Young Man and revealed that she initially thought that her son was interested in Brigitte’s daughter Laurence, who was one of his classmates.

“We couldn’t believe it. What is clear is that when Emmanuel met Brigitte we couldn’t just say ‘that’s great’,” she said.

Mrs Macron reportedly told Brigitte: “Don’t you see. You’ve had your life. But he won’t have children with you.”

The couple have not revealed at which point their relationship became romantic.

Brigitte, 64, is quoted in the book as saying: “Nobody will ever know at what moment our story became a love story. That belongs to us. That is our secret.”

What is known is that by the time Mr Macron left his hometown for Paris, he had already vowed to marry Brigitte.

After he had moved, the couple would “call each other all the time and spend hours on the phone”, Brigitte said.

“Bit by bit, he defeated all my resistance, in an amazing way, with patience.”

I told my wife when she was younger that all the tanning she did would wrinkle her skin.
She replied that when she was old she would be wrinkled anyway.
Anywho, wifey must have stopped in time because her face doesn’t look like a bison wallet.

The introduction must have been awkward for the Macron family.

After the sex is over, exactly what could you have in common with someone 25 years your junior?

Damn little ... I work with a bunch of 'em. Good "kids", but very different view of the world. With the ones who like Classical Music (you know ... Jefferson Airplane, The Who, Dire Straits ...) I have some social point of contact.

I just don’t see how I could relate on an intimate level with someone who is my kids age.

I don't see it either.

He is mentally challenged and unqualified to run a nation; his judgment is more than corrupted. There are so many things wrong with this person and his mental condition... maybe the French are all in this Age mentally ill by any previous standard in human history.

That is exactly what the globalist establishment wants more than anything - empty suits. If he is a nothing and so easily controllable, he is the perfect candidate. He’s an almost-male Angela Merkel.

He’s got the perfect resume for the continued peasantization of the European continent.

Per a commenter at the article....

“Macron’s marriage is a s.h.a.m. He is g.a.y. and in a r.e.l.a.t.i.o.n.s.h.i.p. with M. Gallet exec. director of Radio France. Their ‘m.e.n.t.o.r.’ is the out and proud Frederic Mitterand who has backed and promoted both. Quelle farce.”

When you have finished, come over and power wash ours. It is yellow with pollen. Yuck.

Actually, the husband will do that in a few days. There is no point in doing it yet, as it will be covered again shortly. I swept it yesterday to remove the leaves and oak tree flowers, but it is covered with the oak flowers again today.

This has got to be weird even for French people. Not just the age difference which is weird enough, but the fact that she was his teacher.

First Lady Mary Kay Letourneau.
