According to advertising magnate Jacques Séguéla, an old friend of the couple's, Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy are expecting a son. Séguéla, who introduced Bruni and Sarkozy at a dinner party in 2008, told Belgian newspaper Le Soir, "I have it on good authority that the baby will a boy." Séguéla has previously spilled details about the presidential couple's relationship, notes the Telegraph:

In 2009, he gave a blow-by-blow account of how they met at an impromptu "blind date" soirée, describing the scene as an "unexpected game of seduction between two wild beasts".

Meanwhile, French newspaper Le Figaro quoted an adviser to the president as saying, "The plan had been for Carla Bruni to show her round tummy at the G8 in Deauville (this Thursday). It was to have been proof through pictures." So does this mean she'll finally ditch the muumuu-style tops and start wearing tight, bump-hugging ensembles, like a normal pregnant model?
