divorce
President Nicolas Sarkozy and his elegant but enigmatic wife, Cecilia, have divorced after months of questions about their relationship, a first for France that struck a deep, personal blow to his young presidency.
Their lawyer, Michele Cahen, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the two were heard Monday by a judge who granted their divorce after nearly 11 years of marriage. She would not say when the divorce proceedings had begun.
In a word statement, Sarkozy’s office said the two were separating by mutual consent and would not comment further. Sarkozy’s spokesman said separation meant divorce.
The announcement raised questions about how the couple could secure a divorce so quickly, which no one in the president’s office would answer.
Although previous leaders in France have had extramarital affairs, the Sarkozys are the first French presidential couple to divorce while in power.
Their split came as Sarkozy faced his first major political challenge: nationwide transportation strikes that caused bus, train and subway service to ground to a halt across France.
