First Baby?

She may be 41 and he may be 54, but these two spring chickens want a baby! French President Nicolas Sarkozy and First Lady Carla Bruni are fixin’ to put a bun in the oven, according to a pal. Advertising tycoon Jacques Seguela, who introduced the couple at a Paris dinner party two years ago, said, “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.”

Nicolas also has other motives for having a little bundle of joy: he thinks it will boost his chances for re-election in 2012. Nicolas has three children already from his previous marriages, and Carla has a son, Aurelian, from her relationship with philosophy professor Raphael Enthoven.
