France's first lady: Who is Brigitte Macron?

Macron was born on April 13, 1953, in Amiens, France. Her full name is Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux. Her mother is Simone Pujol and her father is Jean Trogneux. Growing up in good conditions, Brigitte's family is a well-known chocolate producer called "Macarons d'Amiens", which has been in business since 1872.

A teacher, Brigitte Macron taught French and Latin at La Providence, a Jesuit high school in Amiens. Her current husband, Emmanuel Macron, was also a student at that high school. Brigitte Macron retired from teaching in 2014.

She married banker Andre Louis Auziere on June 22, 1974. She divorced her husband in 1993. She has three children, Tiphaine Auzière (b.1984), Laurence Auzière (b.1977), Sébastien Auzière (b.1975), and 7 grandchildren.

Brigitte Macron married Emmanuel Macron in 2007.

The story of meeting her husband is also one of the topics that the French press is very interested in. Emmanuel Macron, then only 16 years old, is a student at a Jesuit school in Amiens. Brigitte, 41, is also his teacher.

During the rehearsals of a play called "Comedy Art", there is electrification between the teacher and the student. Brigitte Macron tells Paris Match, one of the most famous magazines in France, as follows: "I felt that I was beginning to develop a weakness for him. The same feelings appeared in him."

Emmanuel Macron changes schools to prevent the emergence of this forbidden love and goes to an elite high school. His teacher, Brigitte, remains in Amiens.

Brigitte divorces her husband of 23 years, Andre Louis Auziere, moves to Paris with her young lover, and soon marries him.

Brigitte Macron was born on April 13, 1953, and her husband Emmanuel Macron was born on December 21, 1977.

Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, is preparing to file a lawsuit against allegations that she is transgender and is actually born male.

The allegations were first published on a far-right website in September and then spread by conspiracy theorists.

Rumors claimed that Brigitte Macron was male by birth and was registered as Jean-Michel Trogneux.

The claim has become so widespread that the name Jean-Michel Trogneux has been tagged by tens of thousands of people on social media.

Brigitte Macron's lawyer has now confirmed that France's 'First Lady' is preparing to sue.
