Posted on: February 2nd, 2008 by: Meg

Reuters is reporting that French President Nicolas Sarkozy married Carla Bruni, 40, at his Elysee Palace residence earlier today. The couple were engaged one month ago and indicated they would wed in a private setting. The information was broadcast on RTL radio.

Sarkozy, 53, ended his marriage in October 2007 to second wife Cecilia after 11 years. Within two months he was photographed in public with Carla Bruni. It was very obvious that they were a couple as they took in the sights of Paris Disneyland. They continued their affair over the holiday’s and made their engagement announcement shortly afterward.

The French voters have complained that he is concentrating on his personal affairs at the expense of his official duties. Perhaps this is why the couple moved so swiftly to tie the knot. There has been some speculation that Bruni is pregnant.

Bruni, a former supermodel has changed careers and has now turned to singing. She has one son by an earlier relationship. Sarkozy has two adult sons from his first marriage and one son by second wife Cecilia.

We’ve reported earlier on the romantic link between the couple. We’ve also recently featured Carla Bruni posing nude in Spanish magazine.
