French president Sarkozy dating Jagger's Italian supermodel ex-lover

She found fame on the catwalk. She then became an acclaimed singer-songwriter.

Now Carla Bruni is a potential First Lady of France.

The Italian-born former supermodel has begun dating newly-divorced French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

The couple spent Saturday together, visiting Disneyland Paris with their respective young children from previous marriages.

Magazines across France are expected to publish photographs of the date this week, making it clear that reports about politicians' private lives are no longer taboo.

Speculation about who 53-yearold Mr Sarkozy has been going out with has been rife since he split from his second wife, pianist and former model Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz, on October 19.

Miss Bruni's previous lovers include Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton. She and Mr Sarkozy are already planning an intimate party to celebrate her 40th birthday on Saturday, with sources at Mr Sarkozy's UMP party confirming:

"They are very close indeed. It may well be that the party runs through until Christmas and beyond!"

The theme park photographs are, said those who took them, "intimate and highly revealing".

One photographer said: "Although Carla is a lot taller than Mr Sarkozy, they seem like a good match. They were very much at ease and are clearly together."

The pair met at a dinner party held by advertising boss Jacques SÈguÈla in Paris last month.

Mr Sarkozy has a son, Louis, ten, from his marriage to Cecilia, as well as two grown-up sons from his first marriage, to Marie-Dominique Culioli.

Miss Bruni has a six-year-old son, AurÈlien, with philosophy professor RaphaÎl Enthoven.

Both young boys were with their parents at Disneyland on Saturday.

It is believed that Mr Sarkozy may well have sanctioned the pictures to "remove speculation about his love life and place everything in the open", said another photographer.

Yesterday, the president's office in Paris would not comment on Mr Sarkozy's love life.

But the daily Le Figaro, which is close to the president, was running a front-page image of Miss Bruni over the headline: Carla Bruni - The President's Girlfriend.

Since his divorce Mr Sarkozy has also been linked with French TV star Laurence Ferrari.

After a successful modelling career Miss Bruni, the Turinborn heiress of a tyre manufacturing fortune, released her first album in 2002 to great acclaim. Her second album, No Promises, was released in January this year.

Mr Sarkozy, sometimes described as the French Margaret Thatcher because of his desire to inject Anglo-Saxon capitalism to his country's stagnant economy, is renowned for his love of designer goods.

A political source in Paris said: "It's typical of Sarko to grab himself a trophy girlfriend in this manner."

Miss Bruni confirmed her love for Mr Sarkozy to Christophe Barbier, editor of L'Express magazine.

He said: "She said they were romantically involved. We must now wait and see how far the president will go in presenting Carla Bruni officially."

A brother of French justice minister Rachida Dati was yesterday sentenced to eight months in prison for cannabis dealing.

Omar Dati, 36, will serve his sentence in one of the prisons for which his sister - a close ally of Mr Sarkozy - is ultimately responsible. It was Omar's second drugs conviction in six years.

Another brother of the minister, Jamal, 34, was given a year in jail for drug dealing in August.
