Francois Hollande's partner Valerie Trierweiler leaves hospital French President Francois Hollande with Valerie Trierweiler in May last year. Paris: President Francois Hollande's partner emerged from a week's stay in hospital on Saturday as the French leader faced calls to clear up his personal life after his affair with an actress was made public. De facto First Lady Valerie Trierweiler left the Paris hospital where she was admitted on January 10 suffering from nervous exhaustion and low blood pressure for a presidential residence in Versailles, a source in her office said. In her first public comments since the news of Mr Hollande's affair broke, Ms Trierweiler tweeted her thanks to her supporters. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those who sent messages of support ... very touched," she wrote, using her personal Twitter account. Concern had been mounting for Ms Trierweiler, 48, after she fell ill following the revelation that Mr Hollande, 59, had been having an affair with 41-year-old actress Julie Gayet. Paris Match magazine said on Friday that her family was "worried" after her 16-year-old son Leonard was unable to visit and she did not take calls. But on Saturday he tweeted, "finally with my mother! I am happy to be back with her. Mr Hollande, who did not visit Ms Trierweiler in hospital until Thursday and has dodged questions regarding the couple's future, was on a visit to his political stronghold of Correze in central France. In a speech in the town of Tulle he again did not comment on the revelations, focusing instead on local issues. But even long-time allies said the President needed to deal with the scandal. "France's political situation requires all of the President's attention and all of his time, so obviously it would be best for everyone if he can resolve the problems in his personal life under good conditions," said Tulle Mayor Bernard Combes, a member of Mr Hollande's Socialist Party. Mr Hollande has said he will clarify his relationship with Ms Trierweiler before a trip to Washington next month but has refused any further comment on a scandal that has generated global headlines.
