Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has worn a lot of hats in her life: heiress, supermodel, singer, mother and First Lady among them. Famous for her good looks, natural talent, and a penchant for dating equally well known men, Bruni-Sarkozy is something of a force of nature. After marrying French President Nicolas Sarkozy following a whirlwind courtship, the world watched as the Italian model settled into her new role, which has now culminated in the impending birth of the couple's first child together. While the relationship has caused its share of whispers and raised eyebrows, there is something compelling about the tall, well-dressed Bruni-Sarkozy that the world doesn't seem to be able to get enough of.

Born in Turin, Italy in 1967, Carla Gilberta Bruni Tedeschi was the privileged heiress to the CEAT tire empire, which was founded by her grandfather, Virginio Bruni Tedeschi. (In the 1970s CEAT was sold to Italian tire giant Pirelli). The Bruni Tedeschis were an influential Northern Italian family and one of her childhood homes was an 11th century Piedmontese castle that featured a widely praised 18th century interior created by her father, Alberto Bruni Tedeschi. While Bruni-Sarkozy is legally the daughter of Alberto and Marisa Borini, a concert pianist, the French First Lady revealed in a 2008 interview with Vanity Fair that her biological father is indeed someone else. That someone is Maurizio Remmert, a classical guitarist who reportedly had a six year affair with Borini and is now a grocery magnate. Bruni-Sarkozy has a sister, the actress and director Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, and a brother, Virginio, who is now deceased. Through Remmert, Carla also has a half-sister Consuelo.
