Fact check: How long was Brigitte Macron married to Andre-Louis Auziere?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, Brigitte Macron was married to Andre-Louis Auziere for approximately 32 years, from 1974 to 2006 ^[1]. Multiple sources confirm that their divorce was finalized in 2006 ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}, with one source noting that Brigitte married Emmanuel Macron in 2007, a year after her divorce was finalized ^[5].

The marriage produced three children together ^[6], and the divorce process itself was notably protracted, with one source describing it as a "bitter divorce from Andre-Louis Auziere [that] took a decade to resolve" ^[7].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks several important contextual elements that emerge from the analyses:

• The complexity of the divorce process: The dissolution of the marriage was not straightforward, taking approximately a decade to resolve completely ^[7], suggesting significant complications beyond a simple timeline.
• The overlap with her relationship with Emmanuel Macron: Brigitte met Emmanuel Macron in 1993 while still married to Auziere ^[1], and her marriage "deteriorated over the years" following this meeting, with the divorce being "finalized nearly a decade after their affair began" ^[1].
• The professional context: Brigitte was working as a teacher when she met the much younger Emmanuel Macron, adding a layer of complexity to the timeline that isn't captured in the simple duration question.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself does not contain misinformation, as it is a straightforward factual inquiry. However, the framing is somewhat incomplete as it treats the marriage as an isolated event rather than acknowledging the overlapping timeline with her relationship with Emmanuel Macron that began in 1993 ^[1], thirteen years before the divorce was finalized.

The question's simplicity could inadvertently obscure the controversial nature of how the marriage ended, given that it involved a teacher-student relationship that began when Emmanuel was a minor, and the subsequent decade-long legal proceedings to dissolve the first marriage ^{[7] [1]}.
