Yes, it’s true! Segolène Royal and François Hollande were a couple for almost thirty years. They have four children together, although they were never married.
Royal was the Socialist Party candidate who ran against Sarko In 2007. Hollande officially left her after she lost, and moved in with his new girlfriend, Valerie Trieweiller aka “the Rotweiller”. She will now be First Lady of France.
I wish I had a better explanation, but a I can say is, they’re French- they’re not like us. I might add that the fact they are Socialists and BoBos (bourgeois bohemians) and limousine liberals doesn’t help!

Typical, obviously says more about his character & lack of commitment.
I remember some were associating Segolène Royal with Palace of Versailles back in 2007, because of her lastname (Royal) - such personal aggrandizement, for a Socialist.
hmm, there are worse people as “First Lady”. Imagine the wife of Khamenei or wife of Ahmadinejad.. well, at least they are almost “invisible”!
