[Reporting from my Dad's laptop at a condo] A French newspaper reported that Nicolas Sarkozy- French president and his supermodel-turned-singer girlfriend Carla Bruni got married in a secret ceremony last Thursday.

An unnamed source “close to a witness attended the ceremony” said President Sarkozy, who tied the knot in a “small, private” place at the Elysee Palace.

In response to this, the Elysee Palace denied nothing from the President’s statement.

President Sarkozy,52 started dating Bruni, 40 in November 2007, a month after he divorced his second wife, Cecelia. It was said that at a news conference last week, President Sarkozy himself declared the relationship “serious”.

The private life of the French President made many headlines in the French newspapers. His public account of his new love interest was followed by the release of three books about his 11 years of marriage to former first lady Cecelia.
In a most sensational one, Cecelia was quoted saying that after the couple’s divorce in October, the President was dating binges and found partying in night clubs until 4am.

Carla Bruni, who was a supermodel who earned a multi-million dollar income, has been linked to a few string of celebrities, including non other than Mick Jagger, Donald Trump, Eric Clapton and Kevin Costner.

There seems to have been much criticism about President Sarkozy. The Socialist Party Leader Francois Hollande called him the “look-at-me president” for allowing too much exposure of his personal life.
