Nicolas Sarkozy 'secretly married' Carla Bruni 14/01/2008
President Nicolas Sarkozy of France has married supermodel Carla Bruni at a secret ceremony held at the Elysée palace, it was reported today.
The regional newspaper l'Est Républicain, citing a source close to someone "present at the ceremony" said Mr Sarkozy, 52, and Miss Bruni, 40, exchanged vows at the presidential palace last Thursday after a highly publicised whirlwind romance.
If the reports are true, Mr Sarkozy is the first French leader to marry in office since Napoleon
An Elysée spokesmen neither denied nor confirmed the report, saying that "this information relates to Nicolas Sarkozy's private life".
If it proves accurate then Mr Sarkozy was true to a prediction he made last week to the press in which he confirmed the seriousness of their relationship and said: "There are strong chances that you will hear about it (the wedding) when it has already happened."
Previous reports had suggested that a wedding had been provisionally planned for February 8 or 9.
Miss Bruni, now a successful singer who recently admitted to finding monogamy "boring," reportedly already has a room in the Elysée for herself where she can compose songs for her new album.
She has been seen sporting two large heart-shaped diamond rings offered by Mr Sarkozy and considered to be engagement gifts.
Marisa Tedeschi Bruni, her mother, recently told newspapers that the president had asked for her daughter's hand. "I said to him, 'Monsieur le Président, I have no reason to refuse'," she said. "Carla is living an authentic love story. I think that they make a good couple."
