Brigitte Macron in her youth and Emmanuel Macron
When Brigitte was 39 years old, young Emmanuel Macron came to her daughter Laurence’s class. The young man studied literature under the guidance of his future wife, and later ended up in Brigitte’s theater class. They spent a lot of time together, discussing performances, works of writers and poets. A mature woman and a young man became close. A romantic relationship began, despite the difference of 24 years. At that time the teacher was married.
Macron’s parents categorically did not like this. The future president's relatives urgently sent Emmanuel to Paris to receive an education. But in his dreams, Macron imagined himself not as a politician, but as a writer. Only after the young man reached adulthood did the lovers continue to communicate. This love story knew no barriers. Leaving for Paris, Emmanuel promised his beloved to return and get married. The guy kept his promise.
In 2006, Brigitte decided to divorce her first husband Ozier. The woman lived with her children, and later with her grandchildren. Emmanuel was in no hurry to find love, because he believed that he had found it in Trogneux.
One fine day, the future president of France made an official marriage proposal to his beloved, but she was in no hurry to respond. After much deliberation, Brigitte agreed to become Macron's wife. After some time, the woman moved to Paris with her fiance. In 2007, the wedding took place, and Emmanuel, at the age of 30, became both a father and a grandfather.
Brigitte’s life experience helped Macron out more than once. Tronier gave advice to her husband about difficult situations, work in the banking industry or the ministry. The Macron couple's relationship has always been based on the principle of partnership.

Brigitte Macron and her husband Emmanuel Macron
Brigitte's personal life was filled with passion for her husband's activities, so she left her teaching career. Now the woman solves issues that do not require the attention of her husband, thereby relieving him of pressing problems.
The first lady's life was in full swing. In an interview with the famous Elle magazine, Macron spoke frankly about her young husband, relationships, children, and clothing style, which is criticized by the public and fashion gurus. The wardrobe of the French President's wife has many short skirts that allow her fellow citizens to admire her slender legs. Brigitte is a fan of the fashion houses Dior and Louis Vuitton.
When it comes to jewelry, the president's wife prefers rings: thin, massive, with or without stones. Bracelets, earrings, pendants - everything is chosen with amazing taste and perfectly complements the image.
Madame Macron was even able to outshine the wife of the US President Melania Trump at the official meeting, whose appearance is discussed by all the media in the world. The First Lady of France appeared before guests and journalists in a white miniskirt. The parameters of the two ladies are close to those of the model. Brigitte's height reaches 175 cm, and her weight does not exceed 50 kg.
There were many rumors surrounding the appearance of the wife of the French President. Some experts said that the woman used the services of plastic surgeons, others say there was no plastic surgery. Experienced professionals believe that Brigitte’s appearance is a result of good genetics combined with professional care.
In 2022, Internet users noted that the first lady had lost a lot of weight. Rumors of anorexia began to spread, replacing passionate discussions about the age difference between the spouses. It should be noted that the wife of the French President was fit and slender in her youth.

Brigitte Macron and Melania Trump
At the same time, Maëlle Bran’s book “Brigitte Macron: Unchained” was published. Bibi and Manyu - this is how husband and wife affectionately call each other. From the biography it became known that the future president wrote an erotic novel and dedicated it to his chosen one.
Every year the couple goes on vacation, usually choosing the Cote d'Azur. The photographs of the first lady taken by ubiquitous photographers are amazing. Her figure makes even young women jealous. And Brigitte’s self-confidence allows her to walk without makeup.
The president's wife does not actively use social networks. But her photos often appear on Instagram, mainly on fan pages and on her husband’s official account.
Teaching activities
Brigitte Macron began her career as a press attaché at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry located in Pas-de-Calais. Later, the woman received a CAPES certificate, which allowed her to teach the humanities in educational institutions. The First Lady worked in Paris, Strasbourg, and the Protestant school “Lucie-Berger”. Not finding an ideal place for herself, Brigitte returns to her hometown.
Brigitte Macron in her youth
Since 1991, Tronier has taught Latin and French at the Lycée La Providence. Two years later, the woman met her daughter’s classmate, Emmanuel Macron. The young man studied literature with his future wife, and later ended up in Brigitte’s theater class. In 1994, a young woman and a schoolboy began an affair. This would lead to a serious scandal in a small French town, so Emmanuel's parents sent him to study in Paris.
First lady
Almost the entire family was involved in Emmanuel Macron's election campaign. His wife did a lot to ensure that he took the presidency. Macron insisted that Brigitte "will not be hidden." On Emmanuel's side were the children he adopted. On May 15, 2017, the Macron couple began a new life. Brigitte became the first lady, and Emmanuel became the president of France. In an interview, the first lady of the republic stated that she would be engaged in socially useful activities and that anyone can familiarize themselves with her schedule on the official website.
The newly-minted head of state recommended that the government develop a special status for the first lady with prescribed functions. But the French resisted and collected more than 200 thousand signatures on an online petition. Despite this, at the end of August, Brigitte Macron received a position in the government, albeit unpaid.
In October 2022, the French President had to clearly outline his official position on the separation of the Muslim community. Emmanuel Macron said he would not allow the formation of a “counter-society” within the secular French state. Muslims complain about ongoing restrictions, including banning women from covering their heads. Brigitte is credited with a negative statement about the hijab, which is not confirmed either in Russian-language or foreign sources. The First Lady allegedly claims that Muslim women wearing headscarves scare children. This saying sounds doubly strange if we remember that when visiting the United Arab Emirates, Brigitte put on a closed suit and covered her head. The opening ceremony of the Louvre Abu Dhabi was attended by influential ladies from Germany and America, but only the First Lady of France showed such respect.
Brigitte holds the post of president of the “Hospitals of Paris, Hospitals of France” foundation and is engaged in charity work, raising funds for young hospital patients.
Rumors of gender reassignment
On the eve of the New Year 2022, news portals were filled with absurd information that the first lady of France is actually transgender. By the way, a conspiracy wave arose after the publication of this news in the dubious publication Faits & Documents. The widely circulated “duck” made it to the top of the news, despite official denials.
The author of the “sensation” was identified as a certain Natasha Ray. In an interview with one of the local channels, she said that she alone conducted a biometric examination of Macron, from which she concluded: the wife of the French president was born a man and bore the name Jean-Michel. Ray did not show her face - she was afraid of persecution.
Brigitte did not like such rumors and the hype around her name. She expressed a desire to contact law enforcement agencies with a complaint about the dissemination of this information on the Internet. The media suggested that the fake was the work of representatives of ultra-right forces.
First love
Emmanuel was 15 years old at that time, but the boy reasoned and did not behave like a teenager. He was a charming child prodigy, excellent at playing the piano, interested in boxing and football, and writing poetry. The child behaved relaxed with people, knew how to charm his interlocutor and maintain small talk.

Naturally, the 39-year-old teacher was not bored with him. Emmanuel was well-read and well versed in French and foreign literature. The young man wrote excellent essays, excerpts from which the teacher read out to the class, using them as examples.
Brigitte and Emmanuel spent a lot of time together. They talked about everything that interested both of them, wrote a play and decided to stage it. Macron began to attend a theater group, the leader of which was Mrs. Ozier.
The archives contain a recording of the school production “The Art of Comedy.” At the end, a 16-year-old actor comes on stage, and a 40-year-old mentor gently kisses the young man on the cheek. “I had the feeling that I was talking to Mozart,” Brigitte recalls those years.
The boy's parents quickly realized that their son had fallen in love, but did not know with whom. Since Emmanuel often visited the Oziers' house, they thought that Lawrence was the chosen one. When it became clear that the son had fallen in love with the girl’s mother, they decided to send the son to study in Paris.
There was nothing sinful in the relationship between teacher and student at that time. You can speculate as much as you like about what their relationship was like at that time - like in the film “Scandalous Diary”? "Divergent"? "Beautiful Fig Tree"? But the relationship between Brigitte and Emmanuel was purely platonic. There was spiritual and intellectual closeness between them.
On the day of Emmanuel Macron's election victory
Brigitte Macron now
The First Lady of France never liked publicity, but her special position did not allow journalists to completely avoid interference in her personal life. In the summer of 2022, Emmanuel Macron and his wife filed a complaint against the paparazzi Thibault Dalif, who presented a photo exhibition that included photographs of the couple during their vacation.
A little later, another conflict occurred in connection with the release of the book “While We Are Alone.” The author of the publication about the private life of the family of the head of state, writer Gael Chakalov, has been friends with high-ranking officials for five years and was able to gain their trust. Gael wrote that behind the iron mask of the first lady there is a sensitive person. Brigitte, having learned that she would become the heroine of the book, reacted to this quite emotionally, not wanting such coverage of her private life.
