Carla Bruni pregnant with French president Nicolas Sarkozy’ baby


French president Nicolas Sarkozy might be a father for the fourth time. It has been revealed that his fiancee, former supermodel Carla Bruni, is pregnant with his child, less than two months after their high-profile relationship began. Bruni’s pregnancy has been confirmed by doctors in Paris, French website reported last night. Reporter Allain Jules said he received the information from a source at the American Hospital in the Paris where Carla had been last week for a scan. He said: “I am told that she had a scan and the pregnancy was confirmed.” The couple met at a party on November 23, just one month after the president divorced his ex-wife Cecilia, and are said to be getting married on February 9. French reporter Jules added that “They had a whirlwind romance after meeting at a party seven weeks ago, and have been almost inseparable ever since. If she is indeed pregnant it may explain why they are planning to marry so soon after meeting.” It is not at all what the French expect from their head of state. As one Paris-based friend of mine remarked, Sarkozy has “betrayed the national code of honour. Sarkozy has opened the curtains on a country which was happily eating cheese and climbing up the backstairs to visit mistresses. France likes hypocrisy. It does not like sexual openness. We are not Italy.” Sarkozy, of course, has a different interpretation. “I broke with a deplorable tradition in our country, that of hypocrisy and lies,” he said yesterday. With Carla, we decided not to lie. We don’t want to hide.”
