Is there a petit Sarkozy on the way for Carla Bruni?
Last updated at 10:44am on 24.08.08
French president Nicolas Sarkozy tenderly pats his stunning wife Carla Bruni’s stomach – fuelling speculation that the model-turned-singer is pregnant.
The couple were on holiday at the family villa in Cap Negre on the French Riviera.
She was in a purple bikini, while her 53-year-old husband wore rather less flattering lurid yellow trunks.

Last month Miss Bruni admitted that she was desperate for a child but worried time might be against her.
Asked whether she was pregnant, the 40-year-old replied: ‘No, unfortunately not.
'I wonder if my stomach’s not bigger – because everyone is asking me the same question.
'I’m not pregnant and I regret it because I love it when I am.’
She has a seven-year-old son from a previous relationship.
The Elysee Palace refused to comment last night.
