At 17, Mr Macrons 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 Brigittes daughter Laurence, who was one of his classmates.
We couldnt believe it. What is clear is that when Emmanuel met Brigitte we couldnt just say thats great, she said.

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.
WHO IS EMMANUEL MACRON?
Her body is wonderful for her age
The face is sorta Pallenburgesque
Will anyone get that?
I’m an old man now and I’ve noticed indeed some women retain some level of hotness much more than others
I’m married to whom I think is the prettiest 51 year old at least in my county if not my metro area
Yes I’m obnoxious
It’s genes and watching food and exercise of some sort
That beard ain’t bad body wise for her years in my book
That’s different I’m 8 older than Duchess Wardaddy
This Pallenburg?
She hasn't aged very well...
I like my babes to smell like Ben Gay and Polligrip.
What ever floats your boat.
