  • Story Text: Valerie Trierweiler, France's former first lady, made her first public appearance in India on Monday (January 27) after her separation from President Francois Hollande.
    The 48-year-old journalist travelled to India on Sunday (January 26) in honour of an anti-hunger charity and spoke at a news conference in Mumbai on Monday.
    Hollande announced his separation from Trierweiler on Saturday (January 25) following a media storm over allegations he is having an affair with an actress.

    "I wish to make it known that I have ended my partnership with Valerie Trierweiler," he told Agence France Presse news agency.
    Hollande sought to put an end to turbulence that began two weeks ago when celebrity magazine Closer published a report that he was having an affair with film actress and Socialist Party supporter Julie Gayet.
    Trierweiler, a columnist for weekly magazine Paris Match, was not married to Hollande but they had been together since 2006. She assumed the role of first lady at official functions following his election in May 2012, and like her predecessors, maintained an office with a budget of roughly 20,000 euros per month.
