Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Trogneux: the love story
The first lady of France used to be a French teacher at Macron’s private high school in Amiens, this artistic woman also ran the theatre club where Emmanuel was a budding actor. According to the family history, it was a love at first sight, the 16-year-old Emmanuel fell in love with the mature woman. As a matter of fact, this kind of relation is outlawed even in France but the fresh-rewritten biography of President tells a bit different story.
According to it, in 1993, Macron’s parents did really care that their gifted, smart and attractive son has a love affair with then 40-year-old Trogneux. The parents of Emmanuel asked her to stay away from their 16-year-old son, at least until he turned 18. When he moved to Paris at the age of 18, she jumped ship from her own family soon after and followed him down.
Brigitte in her interview with Paris Match magazine noted:
“At the age of 17, Emmanuel said to me, ‘Whatever you do, I will marry you!'”
