A caress may spell the end of Dati child’s father mystery

LONDON - A picture of former French justice minister Rachida Dati caressing the cheek of one of the country’s top executives has sparked speculation about whether he is the father of her child.

Dati, who provoked outrage among feminists last year by returning to work only five days after having her baby, has refused to reveal the identity of her child’s father, reports Times Online.

Now, one of the pictures in Closer magazine shows Dati, 43, coming out of a bar with Henri Proglio, the 60-year-old director-general of EDF, the electricity giant.

In another photograph, she can be seen with her head close to his and a hand on his cheek.

The guessing game about Zohra’s father has often settled on Proglio, a friend of the president.

Dati was spotted leaving a radio studio with Proglio in November after he had been interviewed about his appointment to EDF. (ANI)
