The rumors were becoming more insistent, as we told, but in the absence of confirmation by Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozi, was the French president's father who confirmed the pregnancy of his daughter. Pal Sarkozy, 82, told the German newspaper Bild: "future parents do not want to know the baby's sex in advance, but I'm sure it will be a girl and to be as pretty as Carla." "I welcome the arrival of my grandson," he confessed.
