Two weeks after celebrity magazine Closer exposed President Hollande's alleged affair with French actress Julie Gayet, he is today set to formally announce his separation from his first lady Valerie Trierweiler.
48-year-old Ms Trierweiler had fallen ill and had to be hospitalized after news broke out that the President was cheating on her. DailyMail reports Ms Trierweiler today set off on a 'humanitarian' visit to India, where she is expected to speak for the first time since the scandal broke.
