French President Nicolas Sarkozy married Carla Bruni, his girlfriend of less than two months! Mr Sarkozy, 52, met 40-year-old Carla Bruni less than two months ago at a dinner party organised by a mutual friend.

Miss Bruni, a former supermodel has already moved into the palace, official home to all French presidents - even setting up her own “pop music room”.

Mr Sarkozy has been married twice before and has three sons. Miss Bruni has not been married, but has a six-year-old son from an earlier relationship. The question is how long she’s going to be around?

President Sarkozy’s romance with Bruni, whose past lovers include Sir Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, started weeks after the Sarkozy’s divorced in October.

Since then President Sarkozy has made it clear he was in need of a First Lady because of all the official functions he has to attend around the world.

Carla Bruni, who was born in Italy, has been seen wearing a heart-shaped white gold engagement ring since Mr Sarkozy proposed to her in Egypt on Christmas Day.

It is the same £15,000 Dior model which Cecilia Sarkozy (President Sarkozy’s ex-wife) received towards the end of her rocky 11-year marriage to Mr Sarkozy.

To add insult to injury, it was created by Cecilia’s best friend, jeweller Victoire de Castellane.

On December 23, President Sarkozy threw a 40th birthday party for his lover, Carla in Paris and presented her with a £13,000 Dior ring, from the ominously-named “Fiancée of the Vampire” collection - also designed by de Castellane.

Mr Sarkozy becomes the first president to marry in office since Napoleon married Josephine.

Apparently the two got married last Thursday talking about spontaneity!
