Emmanuel Macron Who Was Recently Elected As The French President Goes Viral Because Of His Love Story

A 39-year old politician named Emmanuel Macron won the first round of the French presidential election a couple of weeks ago. But he goes viral because of his love story.

His wife, Brigitte, who he calls his best friend, has always been there to support him. And it’s their very love story that got people’s attention.

Macron, as a school boy at the age of 15, had a major crush on his teacher, who happened to be Brigitte. At that time, Brigitte Trogneux was 40 years old and she was “happily married” to André-Louis Auzière, with whom she had three children.

Brigitte taught French and Latin at a Jesuit school in Amiens, Financial Times reported. It was during an after-school drama workshop that she and the teen Macron became close. Brigitte’s daughter was even Macron’s classmate and people thought that the youngsters were an item.

Brigitte fought hard not to nurture her feelings for Macron, whose parents decided to send him off to Paris to further his studies and to forget about Brigitte. Emmanuel made a promise to her at 17 years old, with her 42 at that time, that he will marry her.

In 2007, Macron acted on his promise and wed Brigitte, who divorced her husband in 2006. He was 30 and she was 55. His promise to her was taken as a reflection of his character, which people consider as an admirable one as France’s next leader.
