Gossip - Carla Bruni and French president Nicolas Sarkozy are expecting their first child together, reports The Daily Mail.
The 43-year-old French singer is said to be in the early weeks of her pregnancy, meaning that the baby would arrive just before French elections next year where Sarkozy is hoping to secure a second term in office.
This would be Bruni's second child. She gave birth to son Aurelien in 2001, whose father is Parisian philosopher Raphael Enthoven.
This child would be Sarkozy's fourth. He has two sons - Pierre, 26, and Jean, 24 - with his first wife Marie-Dominique Culioli. Sarkozy has a third son, 14-year-old Louis, with his second wife, Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz.
Bruni and Sarkozy were married in February 2008.
Senior ministers have not confirmed the pregnancy, but simply referred to the matter as "personal".
Bruni is apparently hoping for another son.
