The next French President is 39 years old.
But that is not the news.
He is married to a 64 year-old, that is still not the news.
His wife was his class teacher 24 years ago...not still the news.
His then class teacher had a daughter who was his class-mate...everybody including his parents thought this teacher's daughter was his girlfriend...nope they were wrong.
He fell in love with his class teacher when he was 15...she was "happily married" with 3 kids...now the "happily married" is relative in this context.
At 17, he promised to marry her. She was at the time 42 years.
They got married in 2007 with our man now 30...well she was almost 55.
Next month he is going to be sworn-in as the President of France 6 months to his 40th birthday while his lovely wife who has 3 adult kids and 7 grandchildren (her first child is two years older than her husband while her second child, the former classmate/sweetheart is the same age as him).
His name is Emmanuel Macron (39) and he is the next President of France.

Congrats... Mummy and Son

Brigitte Macron: The remarkable woman behind French presidential favourite Emmanuel Macron

Wife of 39-year-old candidate met him when he was just 15 and a pupil in her drama class. Now she is being credited with inspiring his run for office.

If her husband becomes France’s next president, Brigitte Macron will be the most unusual first lady the country has ever seen.

While French first ladies have a chequered history — making headlines for excessive spending, extra-marital affairs, treason and even murder — they’ve never been as central a figure in the formative years of their husbands’ lives as Brigitte has been for front-runner Emmanuel Macron. Brigitte Macron, who is 24 years older than the candidate, has been his guide and coach since he was 15, and is playing an active role in his campaign, advising him on speeches and effectively helping set his agenda.

“Emmanuel Macron wouldn’t have been able to embark on this adventure without her,” said Marc Ferracci, a campaign adviser and a witness at the couple’s 2007 wedding. “Her presence is essential for him.”

In a speech on Sunday after winning the first round of the vote, the 39-year-old candidate thanked Brigitte, 63, for being “always present.”

Without her, “I wouldn't be who I am,” he said, as his supporters screamed out her name. The couple was spotted hand-in-hand in all public sightings on voting day.

if Emmanuel Macron was a Nigerian contesting a presidential election, the bizarre marriage would be used to campaign against him. He wouldn't qualify for the second stage of the election. As if that is the criterion for good governance and intelligence.

The fact that he is young (39) with an "unholy marriage", just formed a party of his own under which platform he is contesting and also contesting against the incumbent party's candidate, without having any elective post experience, defiles all logic to be a presidential election winner in Nigeria

Moreover, Macron hasn't yet won the election. Had he have 50% of the total votes, he would be declared winner. Hence the need to go into the second round with Marine Le pen two weeks after the first election.

Amazing, just amazing

i think it's weird

As strange as the story is, but all I get from it is a guy with great determination. Hope he leads his country with the same single-mindedness.

Weird & amazing at the same time

OP he's not the next French president. Don't mislead the public. He is going into a run-off against the far right leader Marie Le Pen and the interesting thing is Le Pen won the first round of elections yet ridiculous folks like yourself are choosing to ignore this. Y'all will be shocked on 17th May when Le Pen wins. People like yourselves dismissed Brexit and Trump yet what do we have today.

Stop the misinformation, it is unacceptable.

Now you look at this... This is fact with figures

Mr Macron, a liberal centrist, took 23.75% of votes in Sunday's first round, ahead of the nationalist Ms Le Pen on 21.53%.

Does this make him the next president of France? Will this make them skip the final voting round and install him prez?

Do you now agree that Le Pen didn't win the first round? Let's start from there

That is what you read.. what I read had her at 24% and Macron at 21% but that's inconsequential now... what matters i's what happens on 17th May when Le Pen wins and France also starts to exit the EU and then there would be a new geopolitical and econo-political twist to the world that opportunistic leaders and business men should begin strategising to take advantage of...

Give me a link to those figures above. Even the previous link you posted here did not indicate a primary win for Le Pen.
But as you already stated, let's wait till 17th May...

Brothers this argument does not rule out the most interesting part, which is the weird love story.

Alright, just did some more research and I think you're right with the figures. Macron had 24% and Le Pen 21.3% and the final outcome of elections will be known on 7th May and not 17th May as I said earlier...

however, this does not put a nail in the coffin... Macron is not "yet" the next president and if recent history is anything to go by, the far rights are taking over the world order as such shouts of Macron being the next French president will be tantamount to premature ejaculation.

I'm of a strong intuition that Le Pen might win

Bros... I was waiting for this day to reply you... What say you now that Macron has won finally

We hope so too... Cos one thing is always to have great ideas and the other is actually implementing them... One thing is to make promises and the other is to keep them. One thing is to promise the ideal and the other is to be resilient enough in the face of reality...

kinder weird marrying my teacher ...though in naija many campus babes date their lecturers.Abdul karim''s song mister lecturer comes to mind

.....but is it a sin against God and humanity? Nope. Have you ever thought why a 39 year old won't go for younger women but a Granny? There must be something totally awesome she has that no younger woman in the world ,including her daughter, has been able to offer Macron. It is a kind of deep love only a Rene Angeli and a Celine Dion can understand. Who knows what other pacts the duo have but I'm sure this has come to strip bias conventions bare globally.
