His lover was:
1) Philippine de Lambriquet.

"[A]s a man of morals, he had neither desire for mistresses nor favorites. He did, however, want to know for certain who would be at fault if his wife did not conceive. There was a young chambermaid at court named Philippine de Lambriquet, whose husband, Jacques, served on the staff of the Comte de Provence. The King proceeded with his agenda and, it seems, after her liaison with the King, she became pregnant -- though as she also had a husband, Louis was still not quite certain of his own fertility." (Marie-Therese: Child of Terror: 15)
