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

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.”

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
