After a romance that made headlines around the world when it was revealed in 2014, former French president Francois Hollande has married actress Julie Gayet. The couple tied the knot on Saturday in a private, low-key ceremony in the town of Tulle, in the central department of Corrèze.
The news was announced to La Montagne newspaper with a picture of the couple showing the groom in a suit and his bride in a white dress climbing the stairs of the local town hall.
Combes had succeeded Hollande as head of the city hall back in 2008.
Hollande, who has four children with his former partner and fellow Socialist politician Ségolène Royal, had never before been married. Gayet, a mother of two boys, divorced Argentinian screenwriter Santiago Amigorena in 2006.
Hollande had an affair with Gayet while president and in a relationship with journalist Valerie Trierweiler, who was France’s de facto first lady at the time.
