PARIS The woman considered France's first lady has
been hospitalized after a report that the president is having an affair with an
actress.
Valerie Trierweiler's chief of staff, Patrice Biancone,
confirmed Sunday that the 48-year-old journalist who lives with President
François Hollande has been hospitalized since Friday.
Biancone said she was hospitalized for "rest and a
few tests" and is expected to leave the hospital Monday.
Hollande has never married but he has four children
with a former party member. Rumours have long circulated that he might have a
lover.
The magazine Closer published images Friday showing a
bodyguard and a helmeted man it says is Hollande visiting French actress Julie
Gayet.
French media face strict privacy laws, but in recent
years have chipped away at the tradition of ignoring the private lives of
public figures.
