- PARIS: The expectant granddad has spilled the beans: Nicolas Sarkozy’s father told Germany’s top-selling newspaper that France’s model-turned-singer first lady is pregnant.
The Bild newspaper on Tuesday quoted Sarkozy’s father Pal Sarkozy as confirming that his son and wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy are expecting their first child together.
“Neither wants to know the gender beforehand, but I’m certain it will be a girl, and beautiful like Carla,” he’s quoted as saying.
Sarkozy’s office would not comment, saying it’s a private matter. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has been coy about it in recent public appearances. A pregnancy could be a potential strategic coup for Sarkozy, less than a year ahead of presidential elections.
