Carla Bruni pregnant, according to Nicolas Sarkozy's father
Speculation that the French First Lady is pregnant has been rife for weeks, fuelled by cryptic comments from Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy herself, but Mr Sarkozy Sr's statement is the clearest indication yet that she is expected.
In an interview with the German Bild newspaper, Pal Sarkozy, 82, said: "I'm glad to be having a grandchild".
Neither the president nor his wife "want to know the sex the child, but I'm sure it's a girl who'll be as beautiful as Carla," he added.
A television interview by Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy, 43, on Monday had added to the pregnancy speculation.
Journalists had widely expected Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy to announce she was pregnant when she scheduled a live interview on the top lunch time news show of private channel TF1, but she tantalisingly avoided confirming it openly.
Instead of asking the million-dollar question, presenter Jean-Pierre Pernaut quizzed Bruni for several minutes on her charity work against child illiteracy, before dispatching the pregnancy issue in a matter of seconds.
"I know you don't like people talking about your private life, but I just want to congratulate you," Mr Pernaut said.
The supermodel-turned-singersmiled shyly and replied: "I congratulate you too," without saying what for. The interview then ended.
A former top model turned singer, Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy already has a son born in 2001, while her husband, whom she married in February 2008, has three sons from two previous marriages, born respectively in 1985, 1986 and 1997.
