A Closer Look

It was the first marriage for 40-years-old Bruni, which has now catapulted her to the First Lady status across the world. This storybook romance began 3 months ago, when recently-divorced Sarky met statuesque Bruni and was instantly smitten.

In a recent interview, even Bruni admitted being head-over-heels in love with the charismatic French president, since the time she met him first.

Here's a closer look at Sarkozy's ring. Apparently, the ring Sarky gifted Bruni, looks strikingly similar to the ring that belonged to Sarky's first wife Cecilia. So is this the same wedding band this environment-friendly President has recycled after his latest wedding? For Bruni's sake, we hope not!
