Remember the movie, “The American President” with Michael Douglas and Annette Bening. This was a comedy-drama about a widowed US president and a lobbyist who fell in love. It just is a romantic story.

We see the Presidency as an office. We very seldom see the President as a mere mortal like us, falling in and out of love. The movie’s tagline summed it up: Why can’t the most powerful man in the world have the one thing he wants most?Indeed. Why not?

The French Version

the ex the prez the gf

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has the distinction of being the French President to have his wife leave him while in office, well, since Napoleon. But the divorced French Prez didn’t remain single long. He is now dating supermodel-turned-singer girlfriend Carla Bruni. Sarkozy and Bruni first surfaced as a couple earlier this month in French media on a visit to Disneyland Paris two months after the French president’s divorce from his wife of 11 years, Cecilia, who happens to be, yes, you guessed it, an ex-model. The longtime model Bruni, 39 an Italian-born French citizen has also dated a range of famous men, including Mick Jagger and Donald Trump, and has also reportedly been linked to singer Eric Clapton and actor Vincent Perez.

Yep, yep. Presidents are still human after all.
