At her age, this grandma keeps the president on a short leash.
On April 13, she will turn 73. Brigitte is the wife of the current French president Emmanuel Macron. So, what do we know about this French lady?
Brigitte (Brigitte - Brigitte) was born in the town of Amiens in northern France. She was the sixth and youngest child of the local wealthy pastry chef Jean Tronnier.
Our heroine grew up in considerable wealth - she recalled that for good grades, her parents gifted her gold earrings. By the way, she was quite pretty in her youth. Brigitte first walked down the aisle in 1974, three years before the birth of her second husband, Macron. At that time, the chosen one of the 20-year-old Mademoiselle Tronnier was the wealthy 23-year-old banker and financier André-Louis Auzière. Interestingly, Brigitte took his last name then. For the next thirty years, she was known as Madame Auzière.
In this marriage, our heroine had three children - son Sébastien and daughters Laurence and Tiphaine. It’s worth noting that Sébastien and Laurence are the same age as Macron, born in 1975 and 1977, respectively. Tiphaine, however, is even younger - she was born only in 1984.
Interestingly, Brigitte did not wish to stay at home like a hen and babysit her children. In the early 1990s, she went to work as a teacher at a school. She began teaching children French and Latin. One of her young students turned out to be none other than Emmanuel Macron, who was barely fifteen at the time he met his teacher.
Official French media sing that young Emmanuel fell head over heels for his 40-year-old teacher in 1993. He carried this strange love until 2006, when he proposed to her.
In 2007, the couple formalized their relationship in a civil marriage.
By the way, it is unclear why Brigitte suddenly divorced her husband in the mid-2000s. And where did he mysteriously disappear afterward? Why did he die so suddenly and was buried under secrecy?
There is an opinion that the French special services simply put heavy pressure on the banker. They made Monsieur Auzière a very tempting financial offer. And then they eliminated him altogether to avoid any further issues. But this is just a theory...
