The Mail has some very interesting photos this morning – French First Lady Carla Bruni with her husband, and Carla is looking pregnant. You can see the photos here. Carla has always been whippet-thin, mind you, and in my opinion, if it’s just basic weight gain, she wouldn’t have gained weight ONLY in her abdomen/baby-area. She’s also wearing flats, although that doesn’t prove much, because she often wears flats so as to not tower over her shorter husband, Sarko Napoleon. So… basically, yeah, she’s knocked up. She’s 43 years old, by the way.
Three years after she married Nicolas Sarkozy following a whirlwind romance, Carla Bruni is pregnant with their first child together, it was claimed yesterday. The 43-year-old wife of the French president is said to be in the early weeks of pregnancy, meaning the child would be born before the election next spring when Mr Sarkozy is hoping to win a second term.
Neither the Elysee Palace nor senior ministers have denied the claims, explaining that they could not say anything because the matter was to do with the couple’s private life.
The baby would be Miss Bruni’s second child. She had a son, Aurelien, in 2001 with her then lover, the Paris philosopher Raphael Enthoven.Her 56-year-old husband has two sons, Pierre, 26, and Jean, 24, from his first marriage to Marie-Dominique Culioli, and a third son, Louis, 14, with his second wife, Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz.
Reports of Miss Bruni’s pregnancy appeared in the latest edition of French magazine Closer under the headline ‘Pregnant at last’. The magazine said ministers have been told about the pregnancy, but were asked not to mention it because it is at such an early stage.
Closer has reported similar rumours before, all of which have proved to be false. But yesterday papers including Le Journal du Dimanche, Le Parisien and Le Figaro also published the claims. The Right-wing Le Figaro is particularly close to Mr Sarkozy and would be unlikely to indulge in baseless speculation. Closer is a reputable magazine with excellent sources in the fashion world who are close to Miss Bruni, a former supermodel. Laurence Pieau, a journalist on the magazine, said: ‘We would not have revealed this information without being completely certain about it. This is a risky pregnancy bearing in mind that she is 43.’
In an online report, Le Figaro points out it is the third time in three years that the media has suggested Miss Bruni might be pregnant.
It also suggests that her mother, Marisa, has denied the story.
Miss Bruni has often spoken of her desire to have children with Mr Sarkozy, saying soon after their marriage: ‘I hope to, if I am young enough. It would be a dream.’
Over Christmas she visited a shrine in India and told a Muslim cleric that she was praying for another son.

Um… what if it is a daughter? Wouldn’t that be nice too? I mean, considering that Sarko already has three sons and Carla already has a son, wouldn’t it be awesome to have a little girl? Why the obsession with having boys? Ugh.
But anyway, even though The Mail is being particularly cautious, I tend to believe she is in fact pregnant. And I find myself being happy for her. I think Carla really wanted to have another baby, truly, plus she wanted to “secure” herself with Sarko and maybe even the French people – although the French people don’t seem anywhere near as baby-obsessed as Americans, a baby in Palais de l’Élysée would be nice, right?

If the photos aren’t ‘shopped, she does look pregnant. Hope to god the child takes after the mother in looks. And is a girl.
N.B. Salic law resulting in long-standing cultural bias for boys?

I know she used to be a very pretty woman, but now she just looks borderline crazy to me; Like she keeps an apartment full of cats and crystal balls.

Carla’s face is looking harder. Maybe aggressive fillers?

Ugh, perfect timing.

I wished for a boy when I was pregnant. Not because I think boys are better, but because I have mommy issues, and I was terrified that I wouldn’t be a better mom to a girl than my mom was. Girls are scarier to raise than boys for a lot of people, so I tend to give her a pass if she has similar worries. That said, if I’d had a girl I still would have been thrilled, and I’m sure she will be, too, if she has a girl!

I don’t see it, but if she is, congratulations to them!
Such a difference from the US – can you imagine if a First Lady or a President in this day and age acknowledged an out-of-wedlock child? Plenty of voters would refuse to vote for them despite the high rate of out-of-wedlock births here. (I hate the word “illegitimate”.)

“He’s sexy,” Oh man. The state of the world is worse than I thought. He’s a mean little turd married to a plastic tart who was the European bicycle.

I like her, think she’s a good first lady. Hope all goes well with her. 43 is kind of a scary age to have a kid.

Those pictures (the ones in the link) are at least one month old, and the only thing magazines talked about when they came out was her hideous tights.
The most detestable couple ever. “Miss” my a**.

is she really only 43 ?!?! eesh, she is not aging well. esp for a former “model”. i would have guessed actually in her 50s. which is why i was shocked about the pregnancy speculations. ladies, lay OFF the cigarettes ! ; -)

To me she seems like the type of woman that would see her daughter as competition. She seems rather vain and would probably not like to watch her daughter bloom into a beautiful (if the girl took after her mother) young woman, while she gets older and the ps can no longer stop her visible aging.
She’d probably be okay with a girl only if she knew the girl would look like her father; who I find unattractive.

They are so unpopular in France. She is a big fameho and their relationship is mostly PR. Having a baby is for the PR too. Wake up people, France hates them!!

After reading the article, the pregnancy rumor still doesn’t get to me as much as how plastic she’s looking. That last pic looks like someone tried to stretch her face over the back of her head. *shudder*

I hoped for a boy because little girls scared me. I have a little girl and she’s awesome! But I’m still scared of the teenage years.
She looks like Sissy Spacek.

If it’s true, it’s all about next year’s elections. When I look at those two I am so ashamed to be french – and that people actually voted for that man. Unbelievable.
