PARIS, FRANCE (PARTI SOCIALISTE) - French first lady Valerie Trierweiler has been admitted to hospital following reports of an affair between President Francois Hollande and an actress, but will be discharged on Monday, sources said on Sunday.
The daily newspaper Le Parisien said earlier on Sunday that Trierweiler, 48, had been taken to hospital after being shaken by reports of a liaison between her partner, French President Francois Hollande, and French actress Julie Gayet."She has been in hospital since Friday. She will leave tomorrow," her spokesmanPatrice Biancone told Reuters.
Asked about the future of Trierweiler's relationship with the president, Biancone said: "She needs rest. Then she will decide what to do."
On Friday, Hollande, 59, threatened to sue celebrity magazine Closer, complaining of breach of privacy after it said he was having an affair with Gayet, 41.
Hollande and Trierweiler, a journalist for celebrity magazine Paris Match, are not married but have been in a long-term relationship for several years.
