Who is Emmanuel Macron?

Emmanuel Macron won the French Presidential election for his centrist party La République En Marche! (On the Move) in May 2017.


He came to power at the age of 39, making him the youngest president in the history of France.


Macron, 41, was an investment banker and economy minister under the Socialist Party's François Hollande.


He was even dubbed the outgoing president's political protégé, before he broke away and founded En Marche! in April 2016.



He has cast himself as a maverick outsider to the political system, but he was criticised for detailing few policies during the campaign.


En Marche! quick gained 200,000 members during its infancy.


At the age of 15, Macron’s parents, both doctors, sent him to Paris to finish high school in an attempt to break up a relationship with his teacher, Brigitte Trogneux – 24 years his senior.


Macron and Trogneux stayed together and have been married for nine years.

Who is the First Lady Brigitte Trogneux?

Brigitte Trogneux, 65, is the daughter of Jean and his wife Simone, and is the youngest of six.


The wealthy family owns a famous French chocolate-making empire.


In June 1974 Trogneux married the banker Andre-Louis Auziere and the couple had three children together.


Emmanuel Macron met his future wife when he was just 15.


When Macron hit the limelight, footage of him kissing his future wife on the cheek – when he was a teen and she was his married teacher 25 years his senior - emerged.


Macron, now 40, shared a classroom at a Catholic school with Brigitte's daughter Laurence - who is the same age as Macron.


In fact, Macron’s parents were stunned when they learned that Macron was romantically involved with his teacher as they believed their son was actually in love with Laurence, reports Reuters.


Writer Anne Fulda, who penned book Emmanuel Macron: A Perfect Young Man, spoke to the politician’s parents about the unconventional romance which happened while Brigitte was still married to the father of her three children.


His parents were shocked by the explosive revelation and removed their teen son from the school in Amiens, in northern France, and sent him to finish his education in Paris.


Macron’s mother told Fulda: “We couldn’t believe it.


"What is clear is that when Emmanuel met Brigitte we couldn’t just say: ‘That’s great'.'"


She is quoted as telling Brigitte: “Don’t you see. You’ve had your life. But he won’t have children with you.”


But the woman who was to eventually become France’s next First Lady told Macron’s parents: “I cannot promise you anything,” when she was told to stay away from the teen, reports Reuters.


Brigitte last year confirmed to Paris Match magazine that Macron vowed to marry her when he was just 17-years-old.


In Fulda’s book, she is quoted as saying: “Nobody will ever know at what moment our story became a love story.


"That belongs to us. That is our secret.”


The president married his wife in 2007 after Brigitte’s previous marriage ended in divorce.


Macron is now the step-dad to his wife's three adult children, including son Sebastien who is two years older than Macron.


Daughter Tiphaine, 30, is a lawyer who works on her step-dad’s campaign.


Macron does not have any biological children with his wife, although he is also the step-grandfather of Brigitte’s seven grandchildren.
