France’s first lady Brigitte thought Emmanuel Macron would ‘fall for someone his own age’
France’s first lady has revealed how she thought her husband Emmanuel Macron would fall in love with someone his own age after he was sent away to boarding school as a teenager for pursuing his teacher. The president was 15 when he fell for Brigitte Macron, then a 39-year-old drama teacher at the Catholic Providence school in Amiens, in northern France. The schoolboy’s parents had believed their son was dating his teacher’s daughter, Laurence, until the truth came out through a family friend. Shocked at the illicit affair, the Macrons removed their teenager from the school and sent him to boarding school in Paris. In an interview with Paris Match magazine, Ms Macron said she thought Emmanuel would move on when he was sent to Paris. But while his parents hoped distance would cool the burning embers of passion, the young Emmanuel vowed to marry the former Ms Auziere and held fast to his oath. “For me, such a young boy was crippling. Emmanuel had to leave for Paris. I told myself that he would fall in love with someone his [own] age. It didn’t happen,” Ms Macron said. The couple, who have a 24-year age gap, married in 2007. Becoming a very youthful stepfather at the age of 29 to Brigitte’s three adult children, he told them at the wedding reception: “Thanks for accepting us, a not-quite-normal couple.” Ms Macron said her children were the “obstacle” that caused her to wait a decade before marrying Emmanuel. She said: “I took time so I would not wreck their lives. That lasted 10 years, the time to put them on the rails. You can imagine what they were hearing. But I didn’t want to miss out on my life.” Mr Macron became France’s youngest ever president at the age of 39 – the same age that his wife, now 64, was when they met. Praising her husband, the first lady said his sharp intellect still surprises her every day. She said: “I have never seen such a memory ... such an intellectual capacity. I had many brilliant pupils, and none had his capability. I have always admired him.” Many commentators have said the obsession with their age gap is an example of deeply ingrained misogyny, since men in positions of power are frequently married to much younger women.

Influencer extradited for 'scamming millions from lonely old men'
A popular social media influencer has been extradited from the UK to the US after allegedly scamming $2 million (£1.5 million) from lonely Americans. Mona Faiz Montrage, who has amassed over 4 million followers on her Instagram @Hajia4Reall, even allegedly pretended to marry one victim by sending over a fake marriage document. From around 2013 to 2019, the 30-year-old was allegedly a member of a criminal enterprise based in West Africa, according to the US Attorney's Office in New York. The Enterprise was said to commit a string of fraudulent acts against people in America, including romance scams. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter These were performed through email, text and social media exchanges that led the victims to believe they were in romantic relationships with the person on the other side. That scammer was often said to be given a fake identity by the Enterprise. They would then get victims to transfer money under false pretences. In one instance, Montrage allegedly had a victim send $89,000 (£71,000) through 82 transfers with claims it was to help her father's farm in Ghana, as per the court documents. US Attorney Damian Williams said: "As alleged, Mona Faiz Montrage was a member of a criminal conspiracy that specifically targeted older Americans through romance scams. These scams can be both financially and emotionally devastating for vulnerable victims. Thanks to the efforts of our law enforcement partners, Montrage was arrested abroad and has been brought to the United States to face justice." FBI Assistant Director in Charge Michael J. Driscoll added: "We alleged today that Ms Montrage participated in multiple romance scams – often targeting elderly victims – resulting in more than $2 million in fraudulent funds under her control. Romance scams – especially those that target older individuals – are of major concern. The FBI will be tireless in our efforts to hold fraudsters accountable in the criminal justice system."
