Paris (AFP) - French President Francois Hollande on Saturday told AFP he has split with his longstanding partner Valerie Trierweiler after his affair with an actress nearly 20 years his junior.
The announcement came after a day of rumours in the French media that Hollande would formally announce the rupture on Saturday, on the eve of a visit by Trierweiler to India for charity work.
Saying he was speaking as a private individual and not as head of state as the matter concerned his private life, Hollande told AFP over the phone: "I wish to make it known that I have ended my partnership with Valerie Trierweiler."

"Trierweiler's reputation suffered, with many deeming her somewhat arrogant. A recent poll said she was the least-liked French First Lady in modern history."French glossy Closer broke news of Hollande's affair with Gayet on January 10, splashing photos of a man resembling Hollande arriving for alleged trysts at a flat near the Elysee Palace on a scooter."
Striking parallels with the current residents of 1600 Pennsylvania. "Least-liked first lady." Yeah, we've got that.
The president tooling around town on a scooter? Hilarious. Aren't there photos of obama doing that? So where was he going that day?!

It would be cool if she got to keep the Presidential palace and kicked him out.

Now his former girl friend is a nobody again, just another Mademoiselle, mais pas tres jeune.

He cheated on somebody else with her, what made her think he wouldn’t eventually do the same to her.

I wonder if Valerie will go motor-mouth on Hollande? Surely, she has plenty to tell.

Exactly. What in the world did she expect, especially with them not being married? Making this situation public right before the “estranged” departs for India, it seems like he might have a big rendezvous planned with the new one.

From Wikipedia:
From the late 1970s, Ségolène Royal was the partner of François Hollande, now President of France, whom she met at ENA. The couple had four children.
They were neither married (considering it too "bourgeois" nor bound by a PACS (pacte civil de solidarité, which provides for a civil union between two adults, regardless of gender), contrary to the rumors.

I think that happened in Maryland at the governor’s compound.

What’s the French equivalent of Arkansas? My guess is a place on the south side of the Mediterranean where the locals speak French.
