Lately, there's been quite the buzz about French President Emmanuel Macron's wife, Brigitte. Similar to Michelle Obama, there have always been whispers suggesting his significantly older wife might actually be a man.

Recently, Macron ignited the rumors by responding to them for the first time, claiming that his 70-year-old wife is not a man.

The New York Post:

French President Emmanuel Macron has angrily hit back at longstanding conspiracy theories that his 70-year-old wife Brigitte was born a man and is transgender, calling them "false and fabricated."

Macron, 46, was unusually candid and emotional about the ongoing speculation in certain right-wing circles about Brigitte Macron, whom he married in 2007.

"The worst thing is the false information and fabricated scenarios," Macron said at an International Women's Day event in Paris Friday after he guaranteed the right to abortion in France's Constitution.

"People eventually believe them and disturb you, even in your intimacy."

Brigitte's lookalike daughter, attorney Tiphaine Auzaine, 40, who rarely gives interviews, also addressed the painful rumors in an interview late last month in Paris Match.

"I have concerns about the level of society when I hear what is circulating on social networks about my mother being a man," Auzaine told the outlet.
