Edgar Preca is the husband of the 9th President of the Republic of Malta, Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, and hence First Gentleman of Malta, making him the first person to hold the male title.

Despite receiving her phone number, Preca later said he was too shy to call her and they would not speak again until four years later, 2006, when they bumped into each other at the same cafeteria.
[1] Preca became First Gentleman in April 2014 when his wife assumed the office of president.
Agatha Barbara, who was Malta's first female president from 1982 until 1987, was never married.
