The most distressing news of the week may be the suggestion that the world’s most entertaining love affair — between Nicolas Sarkozy and his First Lady, Carla Bruni — is drawing to a close. The rumours began on Twitter, where they could be easily ignored, but now Le Journal du Dimanche has confirmed what it calls the story of the year. The presidential marriage is ‘breathing its last breaths’, it says.
Perhaps it was optimistic to hope that such a gripping union could last. Sarkozy himself has been married three times, while Bruni is a pop-songstress who says she’s bored by monogamy and entitled her second album ‘No Promises’.
