Talk:Brigitte Macron

Surname
In France and Spain, the law does not provide for women taking their husband's surname when they marry. They legally retain their own family names.

Thus, while Brigitte Trogneux is commonly known as "Madame Macron," she legally remains "Brigitte Trogneux."

 * I don't think that is true, actually, unless they changed this when they extended marriage rights to same-sex couples. But either way they were married in 2007, so I think you must be wrong, unless you can provide a reliable source.Zigzig20s (talk) 16:32, 8 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Here's a source. French women don't change their surname at marriage and that goes back to 1789. SilverCobweb (talk) 17:52, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * So why isn't Valérie Trierweiler named Valérie Massonneau?Zigzig20s (talk) 18:52, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

The wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, Brigitte, was a man named John Michael (Jean Michel) before the sex change. Foreign journalists managed to find out this.

"On the air of American TV, they told how it was established. According to the channel's presenter, Chinese software was used for the search. The program compared John's childhood photo and the current photo of the first lady of France and found almost 100 percent similarity," writes MK. It is noted that Bridget was a man under 30 years old, who also had five children.

According to open data from the Internet, Brigitte is 24 years older than Macron, she was his French teacher. The couple got married in 2007. Macron and Brigitte do not have their own children, but the couple has children from a previous marriage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.58.219.181 (talk) 15:17, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Possible relative
Can anyone find an RS to confirm or deny if she is related to historian Alain Trogneux, who is also from Amiens please?Zigzig20s (talk) 05:31, 22 May 2017 (UTC)


 * I would think your question is more likely to get a usable answer if you ask a reader of French wikipedia.  So I copied it over to the talk page accompanying Alain Trogneux's entry there.   Intriguing question .... or am I just being gratuitously and distastefully prurient?

Literature teacher?
In this interview with Elle, Brigitte Macron said "And by the way, Emmanuel was never in my class. Any fool who claims that I used to read his poems and his homework is lying." She does say she was his theater teacher, but the article currently says that Macron attended her literature classes. I didn't see anything about him going to her literature classes in the source that was linked--is there another source that confirms that? NeptunianJellyfish (talk) 03:30, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

While Emmanuel Macron was shaking his bat and threatening to send French Musketeers to help the neighboring lads, American journalists casually told that the wife of the French president Brigitte Muzhik. In principle, no one was particularly surprised, but Macron himself was very upset. He really wanted to show the whole world what a macho man he is, and here it is.

"The worst is false information that people believe and upset you, including in your personal life, " Macron commented on the investigation of American journalists.

The President of the Fifth Republic was so annoyed by what had happened that he said it was the worst thing he had faced as head of state. According to Macron, he gets upset every time rumors about his dearest wife's transgenderism begin to appear. And they say Brigitte herself reacts sharply to such rumors, but the old lady can't be nervous, she's already 70 anyway. By the way, Emmanuel is 24 years younger than his betrothed, and they have been married for 16 years.

Covid
Why are her mild Covid symptoms discussed in the article? So many people were infected with Covid and had similar symptoms. I don't think this fact is relevant for this article and suggest to remove it. 80.71.142.166 (talk) 08:51, 16 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I removed this entirely. If someone disagrees, it should get at most one brief mention. A mild infection getting a large paragraph constituting half of the material in "Personal life" is absurd. Even if it was newsworthy at the time, does that automatically make it encyclopedic? —St.Nerol (talk, contribs) 18:46, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Precise dates of birth and death of Brigitte's first husband
Based on French Social Security Death Index, it appears that Brigitte's first husband André Louis Auzière was born on 28 Feb 1951 in Eseka, Cameroun, and died on 24 Dec 2019 in the 15th arrondissement in Paris. I have no idea whether there are citeable sources for this information (can the SS index be cited directly?). But oddly, the specific dates (rather than simply the years) do not appear to be shown even on the French Wikipedia. One source for this info (requiring free registration to view) is: "France, Index des décès enregistrés par l'Insee, 1970-2022",, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:CP3W-TYN2 : 13 November 2022), Andre Louis Auziere, 2019.

I am leaving this information here in case others wish to follow up, and perhaps integrate it into the page.--Presearch (talk) 23:56, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Mass revert
Apologies but I've just reverted the article to the state it was in the 16th of June. On the 17th it was completely replaced with an version containing no sources in this edit. I'm guessing it was an attempt to translate the french article, but translating the text without any of the references isn't helpful especially in a BLP. -- LCU A ctively D isinterested  «@» °∆t° 10:46, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

More pictures
Could an established editor please add more pictures of Brigitte, especially when younger? Thanks.... 2600:1008:A110:CDD1:F178:6423:7AC3:B9D7 (talk) 13:48, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
