Patrick Balkany and Isabelle Smadja — 46 years old

Patrick Balkany has been married to Isabelle Smadja, now known as Isabelle Balkany, since April 13, 1976. They met at a loved one’s surprise birthday and crossed paths again on the occasion of the Book Fair. These two meetings, which were linked in the space of barely four days, will quickly create a mutual attraction between the two lovebirds. Then follows a long love story that they have tackled despite all the difficulties they have had to overcome with regard to their careers in politics. The couple swore to love each other for better and for worse, and it is that they have never broken up until then.
