Oh, we WISH it was Barack and Michelle Obama!
But it’s another fabulous political couple!
Apparently, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni are planning to have a baby!
Their millionaire friend Jacques Seguela, who introduced them on a blind date in February 2008, says of their family plans:
“Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni very much want to have a child. Carla has already said so several times, otherwise I would not be allowed to say this. Everyone knows about it now. They are a young couple, and like all young couples, they want to start a family.”
Sarkozy is 54 and Carla is 41 so we’re not sure we’d call them a “young couple,” but they’re definitely young enough to have a child these days!
Sarkozy is also rumored to have said that a baby could help secure his re-election in 2012. An insider says:
“It seems the president feels that due to his age, if he doesn’t have a child now, it will be too late. He also believes that such a happy event could be a vote winner in 2012. So for both these reasons the timing would be perfect.”
The French president already has 3 sons aged 12, 22 and 24 from previous marriages and Carla has a 9-year-old son.
Maybe they’ll have a girl and mix it up a little bit, but it’s definitely official: Carla’s on bump-watch!
