CARLA BRUNI is pregnant with her first child with French president Nicolas Sarkozy, according to reports. The Elysee Palace has not denied or confirmed claims, with a spokesperson commenting that the subject is a private matter.
French magazine Closer reports that ministers have been told not to share the news, as the former model is still in the early, fragile stages of pregnancy. Renowned French publications Le Figaro, Le Journal du Dimanche, and Le Parisien have also reported the news, adding weight to the speculation.
Bruni's first child, Aurelien, was born in 2001 by her then-boyfriend, French philosopher Raphael Enthoven.
