C'est une fille! French First Lady Carla Bruni Has Baby Girl

The wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy has delivered a baby girl in Paris. Sarkozy's wife, France's Premiere Dame Carla Bruni, kept information regarding her pregnancy and delivery tightly under wraps, even from France's intruding press. She has claimed in interviews that there will be no official photographs of the child released to the press. Bruni, 43, was a former supermodel and pop singer before marrying the French politician Sarkozy, who would later become president of France.

Ms. Bruni-Sarkozy has a 10-year-old son, Aurelien, with a former lover, the philosopher, Rafael Enthoven. Mr. Sarkozy has two sons, 26-year-old Pierre and Jean, 25, from his first marriage to Marie-Dominique Culioli, and a third, 14-year-old Louis, from his second to Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz.

President Sarkozy didn't have much time to celebrate, however. After spending a bit of time with wife and newborn daughter, he had to take off to Germany for an important, prearranged meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel regarding the European debt crisis.
