Former French President and favorite of the right-wing French elite, Nicolas Sarkozy, is also a father of many children. From his first wife, Corsican Marie-Dominique Cuglioli, he has two sons - Pierre and Jean.

In 1984, after a long affair with Cecile Martin, he divorced his first wife and married again. In 1996, their son Louis was born. But in 2007, the second marriage also broke up, as they said, on the initiative of Cecile herself. Louis chose to stay with his mother. Soon Sarkozy married for the third time to model and singer of Italian origin, Carla Bruni. They recently had a daughter, Julia.

Of all Sarkozy’s children, Jean, who studies law at the University of Paris 2 Assas, is considered the most public and recognizable. In 2008, he married the heiress of the richest French company Darty, Jessica Sebouin. In 2010, their son was born.
