Who Is Emmanuel Macron's Wife? Brigitte's Age & Relationship History
Curious about who Emmanuel Macron's wife is? The French President's long-standing relationship has often drawn attention, especially due to its unconventional beginnings. From their first meeting at school to their continued public appearances, their story has sparked headlines and debate. Here's what to know about Macron's wife, her background, and their unique journey together. Emmanuel Macron's wife is Brigitte Macron. Born Brigitte Trogneux, she was Macron's high school drama teacher at Lycée La Providence in Amiens, France. Brigitte Macron has been the First Lady of France since May 2017, following Emmanuel Macron's election as President. The couple married on October 20, 2007, after maintaining contact for years despite initial family opposition due to their age gap. Brigitte Macron was born on April 13, 1953, making her 72 years old as of 2025. She is 24 years older than Emmanuel Macron, who was born in December 1977. Brigitte was already married and had three children when she met Macron. Emmanuel Macron met Brigitte when he was 15 years old and a student at Lycée La Providence, where she taught French literature and drama. At the time, she was 39 and married with three children. Although they didn't begin a relationship immediately, they stayed in touch after Macron's parents sent him to Paris to separate them. They reconnected after he finished his education, and Brigitte divorced her husband in 2006. She and Emmanuel Macron married in 2007. In a 2023 interview, Brigitte recalled, 'For me, such a young boy was crippling,' explaining she waited a decade to be with him (via The Independent). Since becoming First Lady, Brigitte Macron has taken on roles in social advocacy, especially in education, disability rights, and anti-bullying initiatives. She launched the LIVE project to help unemployed young adults find training or employment. The couple went viral after a video showed Brigitte appearing to slap Macron during a trip to Vietnam. The French President later confirmed the moment was a joke, calling it 'nonsense' to interpret it otherwise. (via The post Who Is Emmanuel Macron's Wife?

Young man from Melbourne remembered as 'beautiful soul' as two Aussie tourists drown in Thailand in space of a week
Two Australian tourists have drowned in Thailand in the space of a week with one young man being remembered by his sister as a 'beautiful soul'. Last Tuesday, Corey Walsh, 22, a roof plumber from Melbourne, was swimming near the island of Koh Racha Yai, south of Phuket, when he was pulled under the water. His sister, Charleigh, spoke to and described her aspiring Muay Thai boxer brother as 'selfless and loyal'. In an interview, Corey's sister said he had been training in Thailand and was with six of his closest friends, one of which he travelled to the Asian nation to begin his strict regiment which began two weeks before his death. Corey had prepared since the start of the year for his four-week stint at the Rattachai Muay Thai camp. It is understood he had been sober for five months in the leadup to the intense training. According to The Daily Telegraph, the 22-year-old died swimming while intoxicated. Just three days before he drowned, the other five of his friends joined him to celebrate his progress on a chartered fishing trip. The precise circumstances surrounding Corey's death are still unclear. 'They were fishing on the boat and celebrating their trip when they stopped to have lunch and go for a snorkel,' Charleigh said. 'We're still waiting for his friends to get home to learn more about it. 'He will always be my best friend, his passing has left a void that cannot be filled.' Tributes poured in on social media with friends describing Corey as 'selfless' and a 'genuine and outgoing person' who could 'make everyone smile'. Thai authorities have warned tourists about dangerous sea conditions and 'strong waves' after a second Australian man was found floating in the water. A 41-year-old man from South Australia, Anthony John Heathcote, was reported missing by his wife on May 7, according to local news, and his body was found at Freedom Beach near Patong on Saturday. He was pulled from the water by emergency responders. Police Lieutenant Colonel Wiwat Chamnankit said it was likely he drowned while swimming. 'We believe that the sea currents were too strong for him to swim back to land,' he said. 'Tourists should not go in the sea during these conditions when there are strong waves, unless they are with an experienced guide.'

My pastor husband cheated on me — here's why I helped him get ready for dates with his ‘side chicks'
Some of the worst news a spouse could find out is that their partner is cheating. One woman knew and accepted that her husband was a cheater, but instead of getting mad or divorcing him, she actually helped him get ready for his dates to keep their marriage intact. Kelley and Reginald Steele have experienced a lot of highs and lows in their 32-year marriage.

Reginald Steele/Instagram Advertisement Yet, this husband was a bit hypocritical back in his day because shortly after getting married — he supposedly 'left this 'holy lifestyle'' and went 'back to smoking weed, drinking, chasing women.' 'We would fight. Our house became the party house,' Kelley said. And as expected, she wasn't handling her husband's cheating ways well. At this point, one would've expected Kelley to leave her husband and never look back. However, she didn't want to repeat what her mother did when Kelley was a little girl — leave her husband and break up the family.

'Although he would go out for weekends, I would literally help him get ready to go meet a side chick by ironing his clothes and getting him ready for the night,' the devoted wife said. She went on to say that she 'didn't want him to be lost.' The host of the podcast questioned why Reginald also kept choosing his wife when he had so many options of women. His response? It was not as deep as one would hope. 'She lived down the street, but all my other girlfriends lived 30 minutes away. She would also feed me and give me money.' Although the couple didn't say if heating is still going on in their marriage — it was admitted that all of these antics took place within the first few years of their time together.
