According to the media, Macron\u2019s lawyers have pinpointed one individual as the progenitor of the rumor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrogneux\u201d is Brigitte\u2019s maiden-name, and while she may have had an interesting life, there is nothing in an <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/International\/brigitte-macron-frances-lady-husbands-equilibrium\/story?id=54661699\">ABC News<\/a> profile of her to suggest she was born a male:<\/p>\n<p><em>She was born Brigitte Trogneux in Amiens, the same town as her future husband. Born into a French chocolate dynasty with a history stretching back to the 17th century, she became a French and Latin teacher at the elite La Providence Lycee Jesuit school in the town where she grew up.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The French president originally met his now-wife when he was 15-years-old and she was his 39-year-old high school drama teacher. The two apparently had an affair that ended her marriage to her first husband:<\/p>\n<p><em>It was here in 1993 that she met the teenage Emmanuel, whom she has said astonished her with his intelligence and precociousness.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>They bonded during sessions in the high school drama club, which she organized. During this time they jointly penned a rewrite of the play, \u201cThe Art of Comedy\u201d by Eduardo de Filippo.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When Emmanuel Macron\u2019s parents discovered he was involved with his teacher, they moved him to a different school in Paris. Brigitte Macron has said of this period in their romance that he vowed to return one day to marry her.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 2007 \u2014 a year after she officially divorced her first husband \u2014 the former pupil and teacher wed.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-59753535\">BBC<\/a>, critics are wondering why Macron is even paying any attention to the conspiracy at all:<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\"><em>What many people are asking is why Brigitte Macron is going to law at all to suppress so ludicrous a fabrication. Did Elvis\u2019s relatives file suit when told he was alive and well, having been spotted eating ham and grits in a Memphis roadhouse?<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\"><em>Filing suit before the courts can give the impression to the conspiracy-minded that there is indeed something to suppress.
