The wife speaks of the French president: His only defect is age

Brigitte Macron married France's president, Emmanuel Macron 10 years ago. The First Lady is a teacher, a mother of two, a trusted counselor for her husband and fashion icon.

However, their marriage has not been talked about these details, but about the fact that it is 24 years older than Macro.

Brigitte has talked for the first time about her marriage to the French president and the growing gap that has attracted international attention to the election campaign in France, Oranews.tv broadcasts.

The first French lady, 64, met with President Emmanuel Macron, 39, about two decades ago when he was a teacher at his school. It is unclear when they started dating but married in 2007, a year after Brigitte was divorced.

There are cases in your life where you have to make vital choices and I have. What has been said over the years is irrelevant --” -- she said in an interview for Elle France.

The couple's major age gap was placed in the spotlight during her husband's presidential campaign earlier this year.

“Emmanuel has only one defect, is smaller than me. Of course we eat breakfast together, me with my wrinkles and him with his youth, but there's nothing to do,”-cut First Lady. If I hadn't made this choice, I would have lost a lot in my life. I was very happy with my children and at the same time I felt that I must live this love, as Prevert (the French poet) says, to be completely happy. ”

As it comes to confronting media critics Brigitte says it has not been easy: “I ended up telling myself everything will pass. ”

The French president has applied to rumours about his marriage, saying criticism stems from sexism and homophobic.

If I were 20 years older than my wife no one would ever think twice that we shouldn't be together,”-has expressed Macro in an interview for Le Parisien. “ply that it is 20 years older than I many say this relationship is not sustainable. ”
