Valerie Trierweiler, the ex-partner of French President Francois Hollande pushes through with her humanitarian trip to India on Monday, making her first public appearance since revelations of Hollande’s affair with an actress. On Saturday, Hollande announced he was splitting from Trierweiler, his partner of eight years, following the scandal over Hollande’s relationship with French actress Julie Gayet. Although she is not married to the French leader, Trierweiler assumed the role of first lady at official functions after Hollande’s election in 2012. Following the announcement of their separation, Trierweiler tweeted: “I extend all my gratitude to the fantastic Elysee staff.
