French President Francois Hollande says he is considering suing a magazine after it claimed he was having an affair with an actress.
Mr Hollande described the report as an "attack on the right to privacy", but did not deny the allegation.
The latest edition of the weekly tabloid Closer features seven pages of revelations and photos about his alleged affair with Julie Gayet.
Ms Gayet, 41, is an established television and cinema actress.
She has appeared in more than 50 films, and once appeared in one of Mr Hollande's election campaign television adverts.
Rumours of their alleged relationship have been circulating on the internet for many months.
Last March, she filed a complaint with prosecutors in Paris against various bloggers and websites that were reporting on the rumours.
Her lawyer at the time said there was no basis to the claims. She has not yet commented on the latest developments.
Mr Hollande's official partner is Valerie Trierweiler, a journalist for whom he left fellow Socialist politician Segolene Royal, the mother of his four children.
