Carla Bruni 'expecting a boy'

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is expecting a boy, a close friend of Nicolas Sarkozy has confirmed, just days after the French president's father let slip his daughter-in-law is pregnant. Jacques Seguelau00a0-- an advertising tycoon who brought the presidential couple together in 2007 at a dinner partyu00a0-- disclosed the sex of the child in an interview with a Belgian newspaper. He said, "I have it on good authority that the baby will a boy."


Wish granted? Carla Bruni had reportedly prayed for a son at the
dargah of Salim Chishti when she visited Fatehpur Sikri six months ago.

Sarkozy (55) has two sons, Pierre (25) and Jean (23) from his first marriage to Marie-Dominique Culioli, who he divorced in 1996. He has a 13-year-old son Louis from his second marriage to Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz, who he divorced in 2007.
