The former President of the Republic and the actress said “yes” to each other on June 4 at the town hall of Tulle, in Corrèze, in front of the mayor Bernard Combes, his predecessor since 2008, reveals La Montagne this Tuesday, June 7. François Hollande is the father of 4 children he had with his former partner Ségolène Royal. Julie Gayet, who celebrated her 50th birthday on June 3, is the mother of two boys and had been divorced since 2006 from Santiago Amigorena. According to La Montagne, which published a photo of the two bride and groom in their suits, very little information has leaked out on the event, but among the guests was the singer Benjamin Biolay. “Whatever we do, it falls on us” In 2014, Closer magazine published photos revealing their affair to the public, even though François Hollande was in a relationship with journalist Valérie Trierweiler. Since then, the two lovebirds seem to spin the perfect love. The former president bought a house on the heights of Tulle in 2018. The couple prefers to remain discreet since the sensational revelation of their affair. In November 2020, Julie Gayet confided to Le Monde: “We know what we are going through, we know that we love each other, our private life is nobody’s business… We always said to ourselves, with François, that everyone had his career, his profession and that we didn’t have to appear together. But if we don’t, we say we’re separated. Whatever we do, it comes down to us. My father always repeats to me the expression: ‘The slime of the toad does not reach the white dove.’ But yes, it reaches, it hurts, it creates shocks. It’s painful for the family and destabilizing for friends.” Also on The HuffPost: Ségolène Royal calls on François Hollande not to “kärcherize” the left before the presidential election
