In 2007, when he was 29 and she was divorce, he asked Brigitte's children for her hand in marriage; they all happily agreed and gave their blessing. The two have been in love and inseparable ever since and their families seem to get along pretty well too - how romantic?

Instead of keeping their relationship low-profile, the two have instead decided to make the most of the limelight, taking every opportunity to praise each other in public. According to Vogue India, “Without her, I wouldn’t be me,” he had once said; she has also stated she’s the “president of his fan club.”

Now that he has won the election, all eyes are on what’s next. President Macaron has already pledged he will appoint Brigitte to a public, unpaid position in his cabinet. “If I am elected—no, sorry, when we are elected—she will be there, with a role and a place,” he said told supporters before the election. She added: “He needs to go for it in 2017, because by 2022 his problem will be my face.” - We love her already!
