Sarkozys Split Official

World | October 18, 2007, Thursday // 00:00

After weeks of growing rumours of an irrevocable split between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Cecilia, the divorce was officially confirmed on October 18 by a statement of the Elysee Palace.

The official statement came on the heels of French media reports that the presidential couple appeared before a judge at the start of the week to begin formal divorce proceedings.

Nouvel Observateur said that, according to unspecified sources, the pair saw a judge late on Monday to discuss their divorce details.

According to Le Monde the presidential couple have one month and a half to ratify their divorce agreement.

Sarkozy, 52, and Cecilia, a 49-year old former model, got married in 1996. They have a young son and two children each from their respective previous marriages.
