He was a member of the Socialist Party before forming En Marche!, a
move which led to him being reprimanded by outgoing president Francois Hollande at the time.
Macron eventually resigned from government in August 2016 and declared his presidential ambition in November 2016.
His wife, Brigitte
She was his teacher when he was 15
She’s 64 years old and has three children but that’s not all. She was his teacher in school.
One of his step-children was his classmate in school
Macron had no political party until last year
You read that right. He was in the same class with his wife’s daughter back in the day.
When he first knew he loved her
Love for all ages
The story goes that he admitted being in love with her when he was just 17; she was in her early 40s then.
According to her, Macron asked the mother-of-three if together they
could re-write sections of the play The Art of Comedy by Eduardo De
Filippo, to expand it to include 15 new roles.
To that end, they started seeing each other every Friday, but not romantically.
How she fell in love with him despite being much older
Brigitte and Emmanuel
Brigitte admitted, ‘Little by little, I was won over by his intelligence. I still haven’t measured all its depths.’

When they finally got married
Holding hands
In October 2007, the 54-year-old Brigitte and the 29-year-old Macron
married in the upmarket town of Le Touquet, where they have a home.
This was 21 months after she divorced the banker André Louis Auzière.
A number of questions come to mind. First, as Nigerians, have we
reached that phase in our lives when we can marry irrespective of a vast
age difference? Can men openly marry much older women in these parts?
Also, this is potentially going to be France’s youngest ever president, when will Nigeria have a president that young?
And finally, knowing all this, would you still like to be Emmanuel Macron?
