Their relationship began when she was Emmanuel Macron's drama teacher, and they have been married since 2007. With a 24-year age gap between the couple, their unconventional romance has always been the subject of much fascination. From her early career as a teacher to her roles as a mother, grandmother, and influential First Lady, here's a glimpse into the life of Brigitte Macron through these intriguing facts.

Born and raised on April 13, 1953, in Amiens, France, Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux, now known as Macron, is the youngest child of Simone and Jean Trogneux.

Brigitte Macron’s parents are the owners of France’s Chocolaterie Trogneux, a fifth-generation enterprise founded in Amiens in 1872. Today, it operates under the name "Jean Trogneux," and is under the management of Brigitte's nephew, Jean-Alexandre Trogneux.

During her teenage years, Brigitte Trogneux was a member of the figure skating team in her hometown of Amiens, in northern France.

Mrs Macron's background as a teacher is well known, but before taking on the role of France's First Lady, she had a diverse career history. In 1982, at the age of 29, she was hired as a press secretary at the Nord-Pas-de-Calais Chamber of Commerce.

France’s First Lady started her teaching career at the Collège Lucie-Berger in Strasbourg in the 1980s.

Brigitte Macron tried her hands in politics in 1989 by running for a seat on the Truchtersheim city council, but unfortunately, she was not successful in the election.

In the 1990s, the First Lady started teaching French, Latin, and drama at Lycée la Providence, where she met her husband Emmanuel Macron for the first time.

As Brigitte Trogneux was a teacher at the same school Macron attended, teaching literature, Latin, and drama, she directed Macron's first play and was impressed by his intelligence.

Brigitte Macron is known as "Bibi" or "Cocott" among her friends, and sometimes they simply use her initials, "BAM".

As fashion holds great significance in French culture, it's no surprise that she loves fashion. The First Lady is flexible in her dressing style, transitioning from formal tailored attire to casual ensembles that may include jeans and leather jackets.

The wife of the French President has been a fan of Louis Vuitton since 2015. It began in the summer of 2015 when Delphine Arnault, associate director at Vuitton, shared valuable tips with Brigitte Macron.

On June 22, 1974, Brigitte and banker André-Louis Auzière were married, and they later had three children together. The family had resided in Truchtersheim until 1991 when they moved to Amiens.

At 70 years old, she is older than her husband by nearly a quarter-century. She has three grown children from her first marriage: Sébastien Auzière works as a statistical engineer, Laurence Auzière-Jourdan is a cardiologist, and Tiphaine Auzière is a lawyer.

As all three of her children are parents, Brigitte Macron is a happy grandmother with seven grandchildren.

She was actively engaged in her husband's 2017 presidential campaign. According to the book Emmanuel Macron, en marche vers l'Élysée, published in 2016, it was Brigitte Macron who persuaded Emmanuel Macron to run for president.

French First Lady Brigitte Macron has a house in Le Touquet that's valued at 1.4 million euros. She also owns some shops nearby that she rents out to a real estate agency and a clothing store. She inherited these properties from her father.

Brigitte Macron is known for her fear of flying, so she usually chooses the TGV or a car for her travels.

People pay special attention to the First Ladies, but Brigitte Macron rarely puts a foot wrong. She is known for being funny, intelligent, likeable, kind-hearted, and curious. Many admire her calm demeanour.

She has maintained her fitness routine for years, with daily one-hour workouts on her home exercise bike and a diet mainly of fruits and vegetables.
