The woman considered to be France's first lady, Valérie Trierweiler has been hospitalized, suffering from depression, after Closer magazine reported that her boyfriend President François Hollande was having an affair with a 41-year-old actress, Julie Gayet.

Closer magazine had published 7 pages of pictures of the President allegedly sneaking in to spend nights with Julie Gayet at her apartment. Ms Valerie Trierweiler, 49, had suffered a “severe case of the blues' on hearing the news and was taken to a Paris hospital for recovery. She currently faces the prospect of being kicked out of the Elysee Palace if the President announces it is over between them.
Ms Valerie would have to leave the Elysee, where she has an office and a staff of five working for her.
Before now, President Hollande had left his fellow Socialist politician Ségolène Royal, the mother of his four children, for Ms Valerie Trierweiler, a divorced mother of three.

But in the meantime, both President Hollande and Miss Gayet have pledged to take action against Closer magazine over alleged breaches of privacy following the exposure of their affair, though neither denies they are having an affair.
